        After completing Assignment 5, I am more confident in how to utilize hyperlinks in PowerPoint. I believe using the hyperlinks to make trivia games or jeopardy elevates a presentation, being a very useful tool for teachers to use. Additionally, after figuring out a layout and pattern, I was able to copy and paste hyperlinks more efficiently. I did struggle in making the animations work after disabling the presentation's settings, so after figuring that out with a google search, the rest of the presentation was simple to set up. Next time I am interested in using a pre-made template, but I am glad that I was able to learn how to make one from scratch. 


        Surveys are a great tool for teachers to get feedback on their teaching and check up on their students. I have interest in teaching english middle school, so I could use surveys in the beginning of the school year to see what are students preferences in genres or reading styles. Also throughout the school year, I can have classroom feedback surveys to see what activities my students find enjoyable or useful. For surveys provide a great way for students to give feedback that teachers can apply in their lessons, and personalize it toward the students.  

        I would be very interested to learn how to photoshop, possibly in a platform like Adobe. Using SMART goals, I specify my goal to be wanting to get comfortable using Adobe photoshopping tool. I would measure this by making random content on Adobe to get comfortable and learn what each feature and button does. After making some random posters and learning through mistakes, I would confirm my goal is attainable because I have a better understanding on how to use the tools in Adobe. After getting more comfortable with how to use the tools, I would make better and relevant content using photoshop. Hopefully, I could accomplish this goal in 2-3 months, but by being consistent of practicing on the software at least once a week.

    Copyright is a way somebody can protect what they created or their intellectual property from being used or modified. Fair Use are different ways somebody can use and copy materials within reason, depending on how much is used and how its being used. Teachers are responsible to be a role model for students including utilizing technology correctly. Teachers can educate their students about the importance of protecting your intellectual property, also modeling the importance of developing your own instructional materials and not copyrighting. However, it does put into question how much copyright can dictate what can and cannot be used in the classroom?      Academic dishonesty is a rising issue with technology implementation in the classroom, specially how fast Artificial Intelligence (AI) has grown. With the rise of AI, it has also shown an increase in plagiarism for essays and exams. For asking students to simply just stop using AI is unrealistic because AI ...

           With taking EME 2040 this semester, I hope to learn new technological skills that I can apply in future working experiences, specially learning how to do things in the windows. I am familiar with a lot of technological platforms like Powerpoint, Canva, IMovie and many more but all through the Mac. So I am curious to learn how to do shortcuts in the Windows, to familiarize myself with the Windows at the same level of how I use the Mac. Overall, I want to learn more tricks and shortcuts in the platforms that I am already familiar with, specially Excel.            With my prior experiences using technology in an educational setting, I am comfortable with using Google drive and OneDrive applications. Although I prefer OneDrive applications, I have used both platforms to create assignments, group projects, essays and much more.  For presentations, I usually use a template from slidesgo.com, and utilize that...
