Some of the pages that school websites use to relay information are administration/staff pages, calendars, school updates, registration, and more. All of this information is public so that students and parents can stay up to date and access resouces. The administration/staff pages are useful to find staff contact information. Specific tabs are available for parent and student resouces too. Links and downloads to forms, policies, and the handbook can be found, for example.

Technology will help me in my professional responsibilities because it will help me stay organized and do my job easier. I will use a plethora of productivity tools in any future job to be more efficient. From communication tools like Remind to management systems like a class calendar, there is a lot of utility available to teachers. I often use Google docs or note-taking apps like OneNote to keep my classes and ideas organized, so they could aid me in the future too. A task management tool like Asana could benefit me as a future teacher to keep all of my classroom deadlines and tasks neat and organized as well.

Using the Canvas group tool was not a difficult experience. Once I realized how to create a new page, the rest of the process made sense. My group mates and I were able to efficiently divide the work and edit the pages to include all of the necessary information for the website evaluation form. The feature was very similar to discussion board format, which we are all familiar with. Overall, this group assignment went well. If I were to recommend another tool, I would suggest to use Google Slides as it has worked for me in the past in group settings.

I needed white text for effective contrast so it was more visible. Proximity also came in handy when I made organized lists on my web page. I liked using the elements because my design choices became more intentional. I plan to use these web elements in future assignments to improve my digitial design skills. Below is my website QR Code: QR codes in the classroom are such a great idea. This is a responsible way students can use technology in the classroom. The codes could link to various tools like a thesaurus, formula guide, flow chart, or any other resource that could be useful if it were easily accessible to students. Simply post them around different spots or even have a dedicated poster for the QR codes. A specific area for the codes could include a phone charging station for students to use too. Below is the ethical use of ...
