While I was designing my website for my classroom, a skill I learned was organization. I already pride myself on my good organization but when it comes to writing a paper, blog post or now a website, it is always hard for me to organize my information in order to easily read and flow. Some principals I used while creating my website were consistency/repetition and proximity. I tried to use religion with my formatting so it all looks like one fluid website, I personally would dislike if every page looked very different from the other. And I used proximity when spacing out my student and parent resources, so they were easy to find and read. I really enjoyed majority of the assignment I do think it was helpful for my future and ill only get better at creating a website however, when I was trying to save the website and create a URL I had a really difficult time and found myself very lost. 

 

Personally, I never us AI programs like ChatGPT, I think that AI tools like that create lazy people and are just a way for people to get out of doing work. I have never felt motivated to use AI tools although I have many friends who have used it, I think ChatGPT is not a type of program that anyone should have access to, especially students. I feel like if anyone and everyone has access to these programs, no one will actually do their work and constantly tend to depend on AI when answering questions or writing papers etc. 

 

My perception of AI has hardly changed after practicing using ChatGPT. Although after doing some more research on what AI really is and after going through the reading on Artificial intelligence in the module, I did not know all the different uses of AI that we actually use everyday. There are actually many forms of AI that I use daily, for example, social media algorithms, waze (the navigation app), content recommendations on Spotify and Netflix, plagiarism detection in my assignments, and more. In the future I will share with my students the risks of using AI chatbots by simply sitting down and explaining, maybe ill even have an example of what we see as teachers after running a highly plagiarized paper through a play risk detection program like ‘turn-it-in’. 

 

Personally, I think that AI tools can enhance productivity but only short term. Yes, your things are doing to be done faster and sometimes very accurately, however, in the long run you are not learning things the way you should, and by taking the easy way out you are wasting you time because you’ll eventually have to relearn everything the right way. The only way I may use AI tools to increase productivity in my job is by finding suggestions, like for PowerPoint slides, or video suggestions for lessons so I’m not aimlessly searching for suggestions.

 When I was looking for teacher pages on a school website, the types of information that I found on the teacher pages was a picture of them, what grade and class they teach, their work email, class website, and phone number. I think that it was very easy to find this teacher page, all the you have to do is log onto the school’s website, click our school and click faculty and staff. If you go to the search bar and type in teachers, different sites from Leon county school come up. These include different school sites, faculty and staff pages for other schools and teacher portals. I found it even easier to scope the page out for faculty and staff rather than type it in the search bar.  https://www.leonschools.net/Page/52909   I think I will easily be able to use technology to accomplish my professional responsibilities once I teach. Our generation has been taught how to use different resources and platforms since 3rd grade or even younger, therefore we are able to easily pic...

 When I was doing distance l earning during COVID-19, I actually felt like I was much more organized and on top of my work. I think this was the case because I had a lot more free time and was spending my time doing assignments rather than spending a lot of time in my electives, or lunch, or even driving to and from school. The one thing I had a really hard time with while doing distance learning was my more rigorous classes like my AP Psychology class and my Orchestra class. Trying to prep for a AP exam through zoom made it difficult for me to focus and I got distracted easily while at home. I couldn’t imagine how much more difficult it would be teaching through distance learning, because it is so hard to connect with your students this way, however, I would probably try to come up with engaging assignments that were interactive and helped get my point across in the lesson.  Open educational resources are resources that are open for use to anyone. When it comes to identifying...

  As a teacher I think it is very important to be knowledgeable about copyright and fair use. I think it is especially important to be educated on the topic when it comes to classroom materials like for instruction, tests, class work and homework. I do think when it comes to the students it might be easier to avoid copyright when the students are still younger but when it comes to the older students that are using more technology, it will be more difficult to ensure they are using themselves only. Using programs that will scan for copyright like turn it   in, or   teaching how to use proper citations and/or summarization will help avoid copyright from your students.   I think a solution to decreased productivity for students would be making sure that students do not have access to other platforms on their devices during the time that they’re in class. For example, I have taken tests before on my laptop, but I had to download Honorlock onto my computer, which did not ...
