I chose to look into the content provided for Panther Run Elementary School. On the website, there’s a variety of information provided regarding lesson plans, and how the school environment is designed. Overall, I find these recourses to be especially useful to parents as they provide an outline for their child’s learning experience. This in hand showcases the teacher’s academic skills and puts parents at ease. https://www.palmbeachschools.org/Page/1309 

In terms of using technology to enhance my professional responsibilities, I envision leveraging tools like Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, or Canvas to streamline communication, assignments, grading, and collaboration with students. These platforms allow for seamless integration of various resources, facilitate timely feedback, and enable interactive engagement with students both inside and outside the classroom. Additionally, I would utilize productivity tools such as Google Drive for document management, Trello for task organization, and communication apps like Slack or Remind to keep in touch with students and colleagues efficiently.

Regarding Assignment 2 using Canvas group, I appreciated the ease of collaboration and communication within the group. It was convenient to share files, discuss ideas, and coordinate tasks effectively. However, I found the interface slightly overwhelming at times, especially when trying to navigate between different sections or modules. If I were to recommend an alternative tool, I might suggest using platforms like Asana or Basecamp for project management, as they offer intuitive interfaces and robust features for organizing tasks, deadlines, and team communication.
