Blog Journal #5
    My experience with blogging is very sparse and limited. My only experience with blogging has been in this class but blogging is similar to other forms of media expression such as texting or writing an article and publishing it online. I have learned how to set up a blog, write down my ideas in a structured yet casual manner, and how to add pictures to a blog. I really like the very laid back and genuine feeling that comes from blogging but I don't really like how bland it can look at times. 
    Artificial intelligence has recently become a huge part of education and academics. There are positive and negative aspects that both have their unique consequences on learning. While Ai can be used unjustly and dishonestly, whenever is it used correctly it is a very powerful and helpful tool. Artificial intelligence has a negative connotation in a majority of peoples eyes however whenever any tool is used incorrectly, it has the potential to do more harm than good. For students, I would say it is easier to use artificial intelligence in a harmful manner due to laziness, time restraints, and even lack of knowledge. However if a teacher that is well educated with using artificial intelligence correctly it is a very necessary tool. I think student usage of Ai should be limited until students are educated enough on how and when to use Ai. 
    Using Ai to create a lesson plan for the portfolio item: Generative Ai was extremely helpful and concise. The information given was all correct and relevant however it was up to me to double check and insure that nothing in the lesson plan contradicts itself or was false information. I tried to use the Ai by giving it a prompt to generate a response that I would then use as a lesson plan for a hypothetical classroom. The prompt I used was clear, short, and specific which worked really well for the generative Ai platform I used (chatgpt). Next time I would use the Ai in a similar manner. 
    I envision myself using artificial intelligence frequently in my classroom however I will not become dependent on it and I will use it cooperatively with my own human work. I would mostly use Ai for outline and guidelines rather than getting my information and research strictly from Ai. I would also double check the accuracy of the information I receive from these browsers. I would address ethical concerns of using Artificial Intelligence by being open about usage, clear about what is from Ai and what isn't, and I would also read any policies regarding Ai usage at my school and even create one for my own classroom.

Blog Post #1 Rachel Miller EME2040

     ✎🍎Hi welcome to my blog!📚🎒      Hi everyone, my name is Rachel Miller and I am excited to be enrolled in this class this semester! This is a class for technology in the classroom and I am hoping to gain technological literacy and be able to successfully troubleshoot any technical difficulties I may face when using tech in the classroom. In classrooms, technology can be extremely helpful and even in some cases vital. However, with technology comes a great amount of skill and knowledge needed in order to use it effectively. This year I hope to master all forms of classroom technology including educational apps and games, presentation platforms such as "Canva" and also the grading systems that teachers use.        I have been in school for almost 14 years now so that gives me a great amount of experience with classroom technology. In my schooling experience from kindergarten to present day (college) I have used computers to access e...

ISTE Standards Blog Post #2- Rachel Miller

     ISTE Standards Blog Post #2- Rachel Miller      MS Word has been an extremely prominent tool in my education and I have used it for many years. Word is definitely my favorite processing software because it is universally accepted, straight forward, efficient and typically the standard software. In high school, I used a combination of Word and Google Docs. At the time Word did not automatically save work so I preferred using Google Docs so that I wouldn't lose my work if I forgot to save everything but since Word also automatically saves now it is my preferred software.       The ISTE standards for educators include: Learner, leader, citizen, collaborator, designer, facilitator, and analyst. The standard that is most meaningful to me is the designer standard. I am a very creative person and I want that to be reflected in my style of teaching. I thoroughly enjoy using Canva, Word, and Powerpoint to make learning effective and creative...

Blog Journal 4

 Blog Journal 4      My early experiences using social media tools such as Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter/X started outside of school mostly to connect with friends, family and peers. I have the most experience with instagram and Pinterest and the least amount of experience with twitter. My experiences on these social media platforms has taught me how to interact and use my digital resources. I usually connect with my friends and family members to stay in contact or share fun memories with my followers. I use Pinterest for inspiration for decoration, crafts, clothing and lifestyle. These platforms may be useful in my career to document my progress and search for examples or idea to implement into my classroom.     The digital divide causes unequal access in schools to technology. Even when the digital divide is declined there is still an inequality of skill in students, staff, and faculty. The digital divide is a serious problem because of its ability to...
