      Many school websites have a plethora of information available. You can typically find anything from school calendars or teachers emails, to athletic participation requirements and employment opportunities. I looked at the website of Chiles High School, which seems oriented around the success of their students. The page also emphasizes the importance of communication with the parents. There is information on parking and off campus lunch passes. This encourages a sense of individualism throughout the student body.     I intend on using many of the Microsoft applications to increase my productivity as a teacher.

 The blogging process has been very beneficial for me in the beginning stages of my teaching career. Our blog has been a good place for me to compare my teaching philosophies with others. This gives me and other students the opportunity to revise and adapt some of our future policies. During our blogging process I’ve learned just how abundant this resource is, there are blogs every, about any and everything, there is most likely always a blog that could help you. I think using AI in education can be very beneficial but at the same time, it can be extremely harmful very easily. I think the best way to avoid this would be to limit AI use to in classroom activities, and more paper assignments for tests, homework, etc. AI can be a very helpful tool when trying to develop students’ line of questioning. AI is still very new and constantly learning, you may have to mess around with the input to get the output that you want.  It was pretty fun and easy using the generative AI for one ...
