      Open educational resources (OER) are free resources that teachers can use in their classroom. The most common OER website is OERCommons which takes relief off of teachers from worrying about accidentally not crediting someone's work. OER provides a lot of resources such as activities, worksheets, etc. The TUS Midlands Library has a website about OER. This website taught me more ways I can use OER such as retaining, revising, remixing, reusing, and redistributing these resources. The link to this website can be found  here .     I learned a lot from working on assignment 4 such as how to use powerpoint presentations (I have always used google slides), how to add transitions, and how to research information to use for a lesson. I like that I was able to choose my own topic and add personal touches to it (such as a picture of my favorite show).

I learned that, unfortunately, AI bots can give the wrong answers but for the most part they are a helpful tool. From reading this weeks materials, I learned that AI shows up in many parts of my life that I did not know about before such as Siri and social media algorithms. My view on AI has not changed but I am now more aware of its uses in our everyday lives along

    I looked up numerous school websites for my county and did not find any teacher websites. However, the school websites themselves provided a lot of information such as teacher contacts, school schedules, asking for parent volunteers, links to social media accounts, etc. For my whole school career I did not have a teacher that created their own website and all communication was via the Remind app. That being said, while these school websites did not contain a teacher's individual website, it does not mean that they do not have their own form of communication to inform parents and students of what is happening in the classroom. This is the website I used to find these different schools:  https://www.pasco.k12.fl.us/ .     One tool that will help me as a teacher complete tasks more efficiently is google classroom. This will be an efficient way to post assignments for students to complete. Another tool that can be useful is the Remind app. I have had teachers use this since I was i
