The semester went by fast, was challenging and hard, but we are here at the finish line now, so without further ado, let’sget into our final blog post of the semester. This semester, the main way I offered help was through Discord, as it is what I am used to and also commenting on posts. […]

MagicSchool AI
As someone who has never used MagicSchool, I wanted to try and learn it as many interns and teachers have said it is a pretty useful tool. Upon signing up, you are shown a video on the latest tool available on the newest update, which is very unique compared to other AI tools. The website […]
The Beauty of Coding
As most of you might know, I have a Computer Science degree and am an after-degree student. I have always been interested in computers or just technology in general. Today, I decided to explore Code.org. Code.org is an amazing resource for educators. Just recently, I led my students during my pre-internship on it, and they […]
The Masked Online
The internet has become a tool or a weapon in some cases with the vast development and progress it has achieved. Though the progress of the web is beneficial to humans, it also often brings harm. A term like Batman or the Masked human (AI too now) can be tied to the whole social aspect. […]

Though history wasn’t always about sharing knowledge, being collaborative, and communication which is […]
From wraps to just a salad and using QuickTime player to edit my GoPro footage (#3)
Firstly man is everyone sick including myself so I couldn’t finish all my pasta salad last week and was craving some wraps, but sadly failed at that so I made another salad. I will do another mid-week meal prep because I only made servings for two days this time. I decided to throw my GoPro […]
My Daily Interactions with Technology
We currently reside in the Age of Information. Ever since I was born in the 2000s, technology has affected me. Whether it was during birth or 10 years afterwards, technology was there everywhere around me. I use it for school with apps and websites like urcourses, Google doc (slides, sheets etc.) and Microsoft Office, or […]
