Technology Journal 2 Over the past few months of this course, I have learned a lot from using various software to reading articles on different subjects. Since starting this course, my confidence has grown, and I am now more comfortable using software like Word, Jamboard, Google Spreadsheets, and even coding software like Scratch. Learning about these different programs has made me a better teacher and support system for my students. My understanding of technology to support and enhance student learning has certainly increased, especially when reading articles on Artificial Intelligence. The article "50 Ways ChatGPT Can Support K-12 Teachers (Generated by ChatGPT 3.5)" showed just how much technology can help support teachers in the classroom and students with schoolwork. Artificial Intelligence can supply many ways to construct lesson plans, create activities, and even offer insights on instruction to meet diverse student needs. This can enhance student learning, and I feel that Artificial Intelligence plays a significant role in that. When thinking about the most critical issues in technology in education, you see that AI plays a significant role in them. The first issue is that many students use technology to the point where they take advantage of it. Students are using AI systems like ChatGPT to cheat on tests and homework assignments, which has recently become a big issue in the education system. It is diminishing the ability to instruct students in challenging work since they are getting the answers by typing in a textbox (Thacker, 2018). Another critical issue is that technology can have its days off too. Technology is going to have problems like when the Wi-Fi goes out, and all your lesson plans or work for the class are on the computer, and now you have no way to continue the lesson. Technology has its flaws and major risks, but I think those two are the biggest ones. Among all the diverse types of technology I learned, my favorite was assistive technology, which I would like to integrate into my future classroom. Assistive technology is meant to aid children with disabilities that affect their educational career, but it can also help any student who is struggling

to understand the material in the classroom. This technology can be extremely useful for students who cannot read or write correctly or even students who struggle with talking aloud (Paracenter, 2010). The module that explained what it was and gave background information on it was my favorite since it was interesting to see how much assistive technology can do for the education field and how we can incorporate it into the classroom to help our students achieve their goals. Moving on, the most challenging project I worked on was the coding project in module 10. Scratch was a program I had never used before, and it was challenging to get my game to work. I had a lot of trial and error before I got it to work, especially when trying to make the sprite jump over the object without stopping the whole program altogether. I did end up figuring out how to do it in the end, but that module was the most time-consuming and difficult one I had to do. This course has been fun and beneficial for me in terms of my use of technology, especially since I did not know in-depth how to work with a lot of the systems. The course has prepared me for the use of technology and how to interact with and use it in the real world and my classroom. As a teacher in a technology-based hybrid classroom, I consider myself proficient in adapting to modern technology and teaching my students how to use it. The world of technology is constantly evolving, and it is our responsibility as educators to keep up with the latest innovations and decide what works best for our students. In a hybrid learning environment, it is crucial to know how to troubleshoot technology problems and seek help when needed, as we cannot always be physically present to aid our students. To ensure effective learning, we must incorporate activities that are easy to use and require minimal troubleshooting. Being a digital being in a hybrid learning community has helped me improve my teaching skills and supply better learning experiences for my student.
