 Blogging to me is really weird. It's like writing a journal that a lot of other people can read, which I don't like the concept of. That sort of thing just seems like it should be private and not shared. I understand that this is for an assignment, but blogging just doesn't seem like something I will continuing in the future.  I think Nebula would be a good Web 2.0 tool that can be used in the classroom. I see content creators, especially history ones, talk about Nebula very often. It is a lot like YouTube, where people can post things that have sensitive information that won't get pulled down because it is "politically incorrect". This can be very useful because A LOT of facts get taken down because people don't like facing the truth because it might go against what they stand for. Sometimes people just need to accept that life is the way it is.  I have tried to have Generative AI make different photos for me for backgrounds or logos. A lot of the time, ...

 1. The standard I have chosen is "Creating and Collaborating". To me, this is all about working along side AI in order to make projects and make an efficient class environment. Although in my field--music--is not AI friendly, there are some things that could have some use, like coming up with unique assignments or writing concert programs. I am not sure if I would be prepared to use AI in my field just because of the low possibilities of use and my inexperience with it. It just could not be that viable.  2.

It is an essential tool for musicians to know how to practice and many students do not know how to do it properly. As a practicing musician who has experience, I can help students through this standard.  3. Internet searching as a teacher is VERY important to do properly. Because it is a teachers job to tea...

 I really haven't used Microsoft Word as a student. There was this time in middle school that I tried to use it because everything was through Google docs and I wanted to be different, but I couldn't get the hang of it. It just felt weird to me and I was uncomfortable with it, so I haven't used it much since. I have always preferred Google Docs for that reason and I have only used it since. I just find it a lot more simple and user friendly because of the tabs and categorization.  I have always kind of been interested in the idea of a digital footprint. In middle school, I always thought that it was a physical footprint. Of course, as a middle schooler I didn't realize that digital things weren't physical. As I have gotten older, I have realized that anything I do online can be seen by anyone at anytime and is never safe from prying eyes.  I don't agree with the "digital native" label because in reality, I am not really a digital native. Now obviously,...
