Google space offers so much opportunities for students to collaborate and share information especially when students are working on projects.  The team of students can keep track of what their peers are doing, team members can also provide comments or suggestions  on group members contribution.  Teachers can also monitor students work and can guide students in terms of whether they are on the right track or topic. Students can also ask questions for clarification. Moreover, teachers can also use it to share assignments and provide submission dates.  I am definitely going to try Zoho Notebook and Slide Share as they… >>>

AI platforms are becoming extremely popular and teachers are allowing students to utilize it to create documents. One of the issues that  I am experiencing with my students is plagiarism, students no longer want to brainstorm ideas and then utilize the AI platform for additional information or development.  One of the strategies that caught my eyes while reviewing the course is encouraging students to brainstorm ideas, and then use the AI (prezi AI) to enhance the document. For example when students are preparing resumes/letters, they can create a  skeleton resume and then transfer it to the AI platform for enhancement. … >>>

Defining terms is important, as it enables students to understand and to practice communicating  the terms relating to the job especially in the field of technology. This also makes conversations more fluent and it helps to expedite activities..  It also makes  it easier to understand information and carry out responsibilities, especially when they enter the workforce.  Additionally, employers, supervisors feel more comfortable when employees utilise the language pertaining to the job, management feels more confident when designating positions. Individuals can also come across  as being knowlegeable and well informed

Students in my field are showing signs of excessive reliance on technical integration without the hands-on scientific skills students of old displayed after obtaining a BS. In other words, half of my students have a pre-existing bachelors but struggle with basic science psychomotor skills. A balance is needed.

It is interesting that being a good instructor may include knowledge of technical supports available to augment learning. There are rules demanding individuated education for all, but not support systems to provide current, cost-effective best technical strategies to supply it. 

I can see that just collecting information on options available to you would be daunting. Especially because sales information and actual use information are often totally different. It is nice to know that there are options for peer-based information exchange on these topics.

Identifying technical areas to invest in and then how to invest seems like an industry unto itself. Sometimes it seems as if all of our technology, and the software patches that support its integrated use, is a source of many limitations and frustrations instead of efficiency.

I am grateful for the copyright information on what constitutes fair use. I will re-access these resources.

Thank you for defining basic terms. I knew that cache needed to be cleaned up periodically, but I didn't know how the information came to be stored on a device. I appreciate these definitions! ...sharing information outside of a LMS has issues RE privacy and laws protecting student privacy - always be advised before forming groups on the internet.

I learned about a variety of different assessment strategies, I found some useful rubrics, and I reinforced previous knowledge about showing previous student work both from a perspective of what to do and what to avoid.
