Creating this website was not a smooth process for me. I often struggle with technology when I am unfamiliar with the software. I did not make this process any easier as I stopped a couple of times throughout the creating process, which then led to confusion because I forgot where I stopped last. I could have made this task less stressful by completing it all in one sitting. During activities such as creating a website, I frequently feel like I am not doing it correctly; therefore, clarification was very helpful.

In my opinion, I could potentially use this type of software in my future classroom but I would need to become more familiar with it beforehand. I would use this software in older classrooms such as grade 6 and above.

There are many positive aspects technology brings to the classroom. Having class activities and lessons online prevent students from falling behind when they absent. This will be very helpful for me when I am absent for swim meets. Technology enhances student’s participation because they are not speaking or presenting in front of the class.  Softwares like this one will aid to get information from peers and save the information for future reference.

Although there are many pros to having technology in classrooms, it also comes with some cons. I believe the main con is the risk of plagiarism. If all students are writing on the same topic, this software would make it very easy for other students to copy and reword their peer’s work. Another con is assigning homework because not all students have access to the internet or a computer at home. The final con that I believe a teacher has to be aware of is cyber bullying which is more common in younger students.
