Module 7: Interview Question

When it comes to AI, what are your stances on it? Would you teach your students how to use the tool responsibly? If so, how? If you choose to avoid it, why? This is a great question, and I think it can have a lot of different answers based on the teacher's personal questions. My stance on AI is that I think it can honestly be helpful for students in many ways. I would never want AI to replace students’ ideas or have my students use AI to plagiarize or use work that is not their own. However, I think AI can be a very helpful tool when it comes to asking for tips or certain ideas. Like with many courses, some teachers permit their students to use AI for the generation of ideas on certain assignments. Then students will take that idea and use it as a starting place to expand their thoughts and create their work. I am also a special education major and have ADHD and other learning disabilities myself. I think AI can be beneficial when there is confusion on certain assignments and more clarification is needed. For example, a student who is having struggles processing the directions of an assignment can ask the AI to further clarify or explain how they should go about the assignment meaningfully. This goes along with the Making the Web Work concept from module 7. This particular part of the module discusses how teachers can interact with certain websites to gain advice for their classroom management. I think hearing what other teachers have to say about AI and how they can teach students to effectively use it would be beneficial in navigating the nuances associated with AI. Furthermore, even teachers may find AI beneficial in asking for tips or ideas for lesson plans and classroom management.

Module 4 Blog Post: 3-2-1 Format

Hello Blog! Here are some ideas I learned, some resources I found important, and one thing I'd like to implement in my own classroom all from Module 4!  3- Technology should be used as an aid for a learner, not a distraction. The focus in the classroom should be on the student's learning outcomes rather than the type of technology being used.  There's a variety of ways to check for evidence of learning from students that go beyond tests or quizzes. This strategy is called assessment, and can range from checks for student understanding to course grades, and more. When planning activities in learning plans, it is reccomended to use the WHERETO plan. This plan stands for "Where Are we Headed?", "How will we hook and engage learners?", "How will we equip students for success with the neccesary skills, knowledge, and understanding?", "How express understanding and self evaluate?", "How will you tailor the learning experience to meet s...

Blog Post #2: Top 10

Hi Blog! Here's some ideas that I think are most important to note from the material over Module 2!  1.) While technological learning may be helpful and satisfactory, it's important to remember that true transformative learning requires students to use skills such as analysis, decision making, and knowledge building.  2.) The SAMR model can be represented as a swimming pool with substitution and augmentation in the shallow end, and modification and refinement in the deep end. To fully immerse students in learning, teachers need to create plans that facilitate transformative experiences.  3.) To add onto the SAMR model representation, "flotation devices" are a symbol for support systems, including leadership, coaches, professional development, and professional learning network.  4.) Technology alone isn't enough to empower learners into deeper and creative learning. The ISTE model encourages teachers to rethink traditional approaches and allow students more control...
