This is such an important aspect of education and learning that we need to keep in mind, especially as educators. Recognizing that not everyone has the same experiences and the same cultural backgrounds is an important part of making education equitable. Not everyone understands things the same way, or has seen things we have seen, so making everyone feel included in the learning process and acknowledging differences is very important.

I really like how these 10 elements are highlighted for group work. I agree that to effectively carry out a plan or project it's essential to have autonomy but also be able to allow other to participate equally and contribute. I also agree that Online collaboration was in great part a challenge when it came to group work and flow. The disconnectedness and independence that came with online work definitely impacted the way some people feel about group collaboration, with some people doing more work than others or the lack of equal contribution.

This is where I agree with AI being incredibly helpful and important in our lives. The use of assistive technology tools to enhance learning and to make it easier to accommodate students who may have disabilities or need a bit of extra help to succeed academically. For example, I use Grammarly to check my spelling when I have to write essays and such. English is not my first language so from time to time I can get my grammar mixed up it's helpful to have tools like this to make suggestions and make it easier for us to improve.

This is extremely important! I think documentaries and some sort of visual media can be helpful in some cases to get the message through, but there are many different ways to easily learn about a topic without long boring media. Tools like simulators and many more are examples of useful media.

I totally agree that videos are time-consuming and can be tedious to work on and edit. I believe that videos are so helpful when it comes to engaging students because they make use of multiple media at the same time (audio, images, text). Videos don't have to be professionally crafted, as long as there is some sort of engaging visuals that get the message through. they can easily be captivating.

I do believe working together is the most challenging part of collaborating. A lot of the time some individuals don't want to put any effort into sharing ideas, or maybe are shy to do so. Others like to "take over" and control everything and do things their way, such as perfectionists. If students learn that everyone is as equally as important as the other person, they will value more each others ideas and ways of thinking.

Individuals' opinions and ideas matter. When organizations allow people to express themselves and share knowledge from past/different experiences, it benefits everyone around them. It's like a cycle of you reap what you sow. Share and receive.

As sad or tragic as this might sound since it's inconvenient for "old school" teachers, it's necessary to know how to use technology nowadays. If teachers don't keep up and don't become innovative with their teaching methods, students who are becoming more and more savvy with tech, will lack motivation. Nowadays a lot of students don't like taking notes with pen and paper, they use google docs, or other apps to keep their notes. If teachers don't like or don't know how to be flexible with students' preferences it can become an impediment to the learning process.

I love how research and education evolved together when technology was changing! In my case, I love learning through interactive "games" or apps like Kahoot to review for exams.

The results of this study explain what I think everyone else already knows about technology. People are scared of "new tech" because they don't understand it and can easily become frustrated. This reiterates the importance of having the proper support tools and guidance from teachers (in schools for example) when it comes to using new platforms or making new updates. It's essential to follow up with students and make sure they know or are actually understanding how to work around the new technology.
