  The grade standard that I chose was 5th grade and I chose standard number 5. I would describe standard number 5 as teaching students to navigate the Internet and sharing their thoughts with others safely through supervision. I feel unprepared to teach this, as I do not know much about scientific blogs, and am unsure if apps like Blogger is what they mean by the standard. However, I believe that with work and research I will be able to teach children to share their ideas online. 

    I selected the standards for 4th grade math on the CPALMs website, and the lesson plan I really enjoyed was the lesson "Making Cents of Taxes." This plan uses complex addition and multiplication tools with decimal numbers to learn how to pay taxes. I really enjoy the lesson because it hits three standards in one and it teaches an important life skill, like figuring out bills and taxes, at a young age. I think that CPALMs is a very important resource for teachers when crafting lesson plans that hit standards, as the lesson plans and ideas that they show are engaging as well as hitting standards. 

   It is extremely important to be able to research for ideas and activities for the classroom as a teacher. We did not go over the unit about searching skills in class because of the hurricane, but I believe an important skill to do is research lesson plans like CPALMs to make teaching to the common core simpler. Over summer, I researched a lot of science experiments on Pinterest for my kids at summer camp. I also think researching on YouTube is helpful to find videos that are relevant to the lesson that keeps the students engaged in presentations.

  The only real artificial intelligence that is pertinent to education is Chat GPT. I feel that Chat GPT should be present in the classroom as a stepping stone, such as helping brainstorm ideas for an essay or project. I feel that telling a student that artificial intelligence is bad and does not belong in the classroom will make children want to use it to cheat more because it is forbidden. Teaching children to use it as an effective guide will give them tools to use it correctly and maybe inspire future scientists that develop the future of artificial intelligence.

      I used design principles such as color blocking and a consistent theme, including similar fonts and text size. I really enjoyed learning how to implement addresses and calendars into websites on weebly as that is something I have never done before. I think that having a classroom website would be very helpful for the classroom community as a teacher. I also think that learning how to make a website is important for any future endeavors such as future career changes.      I have always liked the idea of using QR codes as a check in for students so they can let me know of anything that may be going on that they need to talk about with me. I also think that an interactive scavenger hunt with different writing passages at each QR station could be a fun way to distribute information. The teacher would hang up QR codes that are printed out across the room with different passages to read. The group of students who answer the questions the fastest would get a...

    I have learned through this course that I need to be diligent in selecting the material I share with my class and always checking if it is copyrighted. I do not want to instruct my students to not plagiarize and then do it myself. I also learned about some of the different ways to prevent plagiarism in my classroom. I will teach AI in my classroom, but how to use it properly and not to cheat. No technology is inherently bad, it just needs to be taught correctly. I am still nervous about avoiding  copyright, but I feel like teaching them to use the Internet in a positive way would decrease cheating.      Cyberbullying is the act of bullying through the  internet. It can be more harmful and more easy to catch then regular bullying because the bully can be completely anonymous. Parents and educators must teach children to act online like they do in their real lives, as it can really affect people. I also have to be proactive in tea...
