     In the classroom pages for St Francis de Sales Catholic Academy, they list homework assignments for the week. They also give announcements and reminders about holidays, or in this case, going to mass and mass times. They list spelling words for the week as well, and also an outline of activities for the week. This school also has specials, such as PE, art, or music, and they say what day each special is so parents can prepare their students.

    I will try to implement classroom pages in to my school if I can. I think these are almost more effective than a newsletter because teachers can update them weekly, and then parents will know the lesson plans for the week beforehand. It is also helpful for homework, because then parents know when their kids do and do not have work to do at home. Additionally, parents will know if they need to bring in different things, either for a special class or for a party, you can put it on the website. 

    

    I loved working with the Canvas group tool. It was very easy to work on because we could all work on our different segments without having to do it together, because we could edit from our own computer. I thought that the pages were easy to create and the editing process was easy. I would recommend continuing with this format in the future.

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...
