     Throughout my academic journey, I have always depended on Google Docs over Word. Although Microsoft Word is widely used as a word editing software, I have not fully gotten the hang of it. I like that Google Docs is more user-friendly and easily accessible. However, there I now have to use Microsoft Word as the preferred platform for this class, which requires me to explore and utilize its features and functionalities. 

    The ISTE Standards for Educators provide an in-depth framework for the integration of technology in education. Through the examination of these criteria, I gained a better understanding of the significance of technology in teaching and learning. I believe that teachers should look into the ISTE standards to better equip themselves for their lessons.

    I agree with the label "digital native" when referring to the younger generation of today. Being raised in a period marked by a strong presence of technology, the current generation of young individuals, myself included, have been fully engaged with online platforms and tools since a very early age. Younger generations generally have more skill in navigating and adjusting to new technologies presented to them. I have observed differences in the way my peers and I effortlessly integrate technology into our everyday routines, over some of our teachers who may exhibit different degrees of familiarity when it comes to technology.

     As for using Twitter for my Personal Learning Networks, I haven't really done that before. For now, though, I know that these sites can help professionals and teachers connect, share tools, and have conversations. Twitter is great for networking and keeping up to date in your field because it lets you post updates and have conversations with people all over the world. Talking to teachers, experts, and other students on Twitter can give you useful information, different points of view, and chances to work together. In the future, these tools could help me keep up with the fast-changing field of AI and add to debates in the tech community as a whole.      The digital divide has a big effect on how well students do in school. The difference between those who can use digital tools and those who can't is this divide. Inequality in the economy, a lack of infrastructure, and a lack of access to the internet are some of the reasons for this. As a...

 Being a distant student was interesting and demanding, during the Covid-19-induced remote learning phase. The freedom that distance learning provides is one thing I value about it. My ability to attend lessons from the comfort of my own home improved my time management and flexibility in handling other obligations. The availability of resources on the internet has also improved my educational experience. On the other hand, I discovered that two significant drawbacks were the absence of in-person communication and the classroom's feeling of community. It frequently gave off an isolated, disjointed vibe. I see how crucial it is to close this gap for distant learners as a future instructor. More interactive elements in online courses, the creation of virtual communities through discussion boards or group projects, and consistent feedback and assistance can all greatly improve the experience of distant learners and make them feel more fulfilled and engaged. Open Educati...
