Blog Post #6

     I have enjoyed my time blogging for this class. I like that the prompts help me reflect on what we are learning in class and are not super difficult. The posts serve as a way to look back on past material we have learned to use for other assignments, and I have looked back at posts that cover topics I am learning in another class as well. Through blogging, I have learned that I remember things better when I have typed/written them out. 

    Unfortunately, my Canva did not allow me to use the Generative AI tool. However, I was able to watch my classmates use it and it looks like a super helpful tool. I think it could be a unique way to find images or graphics to fit a presentation or project that you can't find in Canva's library. Right now, the images come out a little funky (strange contortions or warping), but I think as Generative AI advances, these images will become better and unrecognizable as AI generated.

    As a teacher, I plan to use AI in the classroom to make learning more engaging and personalized. For example, I could use it to generate discussion questions on texts we are reading or have it create fun quizzes to check understanding. I could also have the students use AI by having them use it to get instant feedback on grammar or clarity to improve their writing. To make sure it remains an ethical use of AI, I'd teach my students how to use AI responsibly, like making sure they fact check the content and making sure they are still doing their own work.

       I learned a lot of new skills through the Web Design Assignment. I've never done any website making before so everything was pretty new to me. There were so many helpful tools on Weebly, like adding a map and calendar to a web page. I used the CRAP design principles when creating my website. There is contrast in the white background and the black text plus colorful banners. I used repeated fonts on all the pages for headers and body text. Using the dividers and separator tools everything is aligned with the items below, above, and next to it. And the info shows effective proximity, grouped together and with clear differentiation between the elements. The QR code at the bottom of this post will bring you to my site!      QR codes could be used in some many different ways in the classroom. In classrooms i've subbed in, I have seen a QR code for the kids to use to sign out when they go to the bathroom and one to bring them to different educational ...

      I think teacher websites are a great way for both parents and students to get to know their teacher. They can provide helpful information like class agenda or important school dates and also serve as a quick link to finding the teachers experience or methods of teaching if parents are interested. Looking at Chiles High School English department, there is a teacher Debra McKinnon. Her page includes a meet the teacher, student resources, announcements, assignments, important documents, and a class calendar. These are all super helpful tools, students can see assignments and available resources for help, and parents can view announcements and a calendar to mark important dates down.     I plan to use technology to help myself and my students create the best educational environment. For myself, I will use Google Calendar to keep track of tasks, assignments, and important dates for both my class and myself. For classroom management/my students I want to use Cla...

 As a teacher, I will try to always handle copyright and fair use ethically and also teach my students how to. I will guide them in creating some of their own works, to show the importance of originality and emphasizing proper attribution if they do use others work. Since learning about copyright, fair use, and Creative Commons licenses, I would say I have learning essential topics but I do have some questions. For example, how much is too much use when using copyrighted material for lessons?     I think one of the biggest issues with technology implementation is lack of funding. The growing use of technology in schools, is also highlighting the funding gap between schools. It's clear that certain private and charter schools receive more funding than others, with more tech tools and 1-to-1 computers for students, but there is also a stark difference between public schools in more funded "better" areas than those in lower funded "worse" areas. This means some kid...
