 I created a concept map that explains my thinking when it comes to how trustworthy a social media post is. The boxes I created included looking at if the post is making a promotion, if it is AI, if the person is credible, if there is a community note posted, and how popular the post is. First I mean credibility by who is actually giving this information. Does the person have some sort of certification from a topic or experience? If not these people are without credibility. Next, promotions have taken of the internet. People want money and they will spread half truths in order to make their product look good. I never trust any promotion or ad posts on social media. (at least without looking up the information first) Also, looking to see if the post is ai generated is a usually a good start. As my concept map says looking for that realism in the content of the post and would it be reasonable? Looking to see how popular a post is can also be important. As I displayed on my concept map reading the comments isn't the worst idea either to at least get some instant feedback. Lastly, make sure to read a community note if there is one. This is usually an indication if something can be verified or reliable.

 I hope to learn how to take my technology skills from this class to the outside world. I have never been great with technology, so this would be a big step for me. I hope to figure out how to use creative websites like Canva to help teach others in case my job calls for it.

The little experience I do have comes from google slides presentations I have given my peers over my time in school. This could be just in class on a project I was working on or something I had to research to graduate. Regardless of how I used it, google slides has been the only form of technology I have ever used to teach.  Something that has been a little new for me that I have picked up and wanted to learn about has been golf. I started a couple summers ago and have slowly progressed. Instead spendi...

 I do not had a lot of experience when is comes to MS Word. I remember in my 8th grade English class we had to do a paper using MS Word and I did not have any trouble with it. My first year in college at Virginia Tech we also used MS Word for my English class. I definitely prefer google docs simply because I use it all the time, its easily accessible, and it is just another tab.  I found 2.3 The Citizen to be one of the most important standards I read. It is super beneficial to have participation in class which shows engagement. It was important to me because when I look back on previous classes those that engage with me I learn the most from. If I were a teacher I would make sure all projects or assignments are engaging for students to really have the opportunity to engage in class.  I agree with the label because kids growing up with all this technology are going to surpass older adults that had a late starting point. These adults didn't get the chance to grow up in all...
