Blog Journal #5

 The blogging process has been very beneficial for me in the beginning stages of my teaching career. Our blog has been a good place for me to compare my teaching philosophies with others. This gives me and other students the opportunity to revise and adapt some of our future policies. During our blogging process I’ve learned just how abundant this resource is, there are blogs every, about any and everything, there is most likely always a blog that could help you.

I think using AI in education can be very beneficial but at the same time, it can be extremely harmful very easily. I think the best way to avoid this would be to limit AI use to in classroom activities, and more paper assignments for tests, homework, etc. AI can be a very helpful tool when trying to develop students’ line of questioning. AI is still very new and constantly learning, you may have to mess around with the input to get the output that you want. 

It was pretty fun and easy using the generative AI for one of our paddlet portfolio items. I was able to get an appropriate response with my first input. This was because I gave an in depth and specific question, and didn’t leave many decisions up to the AI. I think the next time I use AI, I could get even more specific answers by giving in depth questions that provoke the chat box’s creativity. 

I plan of having generative AI take a small role in my classroom. I want to emphasize the importance of forming and defending your own opinion. It isn’t necessarily the most important that a student gets every question right, but rather that they can explain why they chose the answer that they did. I feel that using AI could lead to students being told why they feel a certain way, instead of using their own thoughts and opinions to answer the questions.

     In this class, I hope to learn different techniques of explaining information to people through technology. Technology is a very crucial part of our education system, and it is constantly changing/evolving. I wat to learn how to make presentations for enjoyable for my future students. I would like to also find a good balance of keeping them entertained in the information and the students actually absorbing the information. It does not matter how interesting or entertaining an educational presentation is if the students are not able to retain the information.     In my personal experiences, the most commonly used educational technology would be PowerPoint presentations. I have found that at times, PowerPoint presentations can be extremely boring and make it difficult to learn the information. One thing that helped me in schools is when the presentation didn't have the same base slide or design for every slide. PowerPoints are heavily dependent on students st...

      Microsoft word is probably the most commonly used educational technology in my k-12 and college experience. I've used word to write papers, write notes, answer homework question, and much more. I have not used any other word processing software because i was introduced and taught how to use Microsoft word first, so I am more comfortable using word than trying to learn a new software. i believe word was more commonly used when/where I was growing up, and nowadays its more of an even mixture.      The ISTE standard that resonated the most with me was the educational leader standard. The ISTE wants educators to seek out opportunities of leadership to support student empowerment/success and to improve teaching and learning. I was unaware that there were/are standards or requirements for teacher educating their students on the digital world. One concern I have is that students do not always have access to these technological tools. Not everyone has a sever...
