 1. Working on the Web Design assignment helped me develop layout, color theory, and responsive design skills. I used contrast, dark background, light text, alignment, consistent spacing, proximity, and grouping-related elements to enhance usability. I enjoyed the creative freedom but found debugging layout issues frustrating. As a future teacher, these skills will help me create classroom websites, interactive resources, and digital newsletters.

2. One creative way to use QR codes in my classroom is for a scavenger hunt that reinforces learning. I could place QR codes around the room, each linking to a question, clue, or interactive activity related to a lesson. For example, in a reading unit, students could scan a QR code to watch a short video about a book’s theme, and then find another code that leads to a comprehension question. This makes learning more engaging and interactive while integrating technology into the classroom. 

3. To address this, I would advocate for teacher training in educational technology, ensuring that all educators can confidently use digital tools to enhance learning. Additionally, providing recorded lessons and asynchronous learning options would allow students with technical difficulties to access materials at their convenience. This solution is ethical as it promotes inclusivity, ensuring all students receive equal learning opportunities regardless of their access to technology. https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1394814.pdf
