Blog Post #8

    I really enjoyed working on the Web Design Project. I made sure to follow CRAP and keep this in mind when creating my website. I tried to make important text stand out in relation to other smaller, non-important text. I also made sure all of my headings matched one another and was straight. It was pretty difficult at times finding images to match with the text colors to make it look pretty but I think it worked out well. I can definitely use the skills I gained for the future. I think having a website is a good resource for teachers, students, and parents alike. My website

    I do not use AI that often but I will use it sometimes for my school work. I usually use it for when I am confused about something or if I need an idea for a project. I wouldn't say I am motivated to use AI but I do find it to be a helpful resource at times. I am still learning how to work with AI and become more familiar with it. I just have questions as to what else can it be used for and how to get the most out of it by adding specifics to the questions I ask.

    I was super surprised when we used ChatGPT in class. I was not expecting it to draft and answer as much as it did; it literally wrote out a whole lesson plan just from a few guiding words that I gave it. I learned that AI Chatbots are really knowledgable and can be used in several different ways. My perception of AI has definitely changed and I am much more curious about it now. I think just exposing my students to AI is the best way to address the issues involved with it. I would be sure to educate them about the benefits and drawbacks of it and how this can affect them. Educating them is the best way to ensure they utilize the technology correctly. 

    I think AI tools can definitely enhance my productivity. I will begin to use AI tools a little more because I feel they can definitely add to my work and also help me to organize or enhance my ideas. In my teaching job, I think it can be beneficial with lesson plan creating or if I am stuck or trapped creatively. I will always be careful when utilizing AI however because I know the drawbacks that can come with it. Overall, however, I think AI can be pretty useful.

    Hi! I really like how you designed your website! The colors were perfect, cute and light but with enough contrast to read. It looks like a real professionally made teacher site!

      My name is Jaylin Matias and I am a freshman at Florida State University majoring in elementary education. I am originally from northern New Jersey and I have one younger brother. In my free time, I enjoy playing volleyball, going to the beach, trying new foods and restaurants, and shopping. In the future, I am hoping to become a second grade teacher and spend a lot of time traveling the world.     Throughout all my years in school, I have been exposed to a variety of different technology and platforms. In middle and high school, I worked closely with Google Docs, Classroom, and Slides. I also have used things like Padlet, Zoom, and Canva. In college now, I use Canvas, TopHat, and Microsoft Word. I also have experience filming and editing small video presentations.     My personal learning network (PLN) can be split into four main categories, these being people, spaces, tools, and organizations. The people that contribute to my PLN include friends, family, and professors. The spa

      Overall, I enjoy working with Diigo and I think it can be a great resource within classrooms. I like the way it is very collaborative and you can add comments and things of that nature. It is a great way to share all the individual ideas within a classroom. While it is a great resource, I also think it can be pretty confusing especially when thinking about using it with younger students, which is the grade level I am interested in teaching. For older students, however, I think it can be especially effective.     I did not have much experience with blogging before this, but I am finding it to be a fun thing to do. I think it is a good way to summarize, reflect, and organize thoughts. Through my blogging process, I have learned the value of sharing opinions and have deepened my understanding of the topics we discuss in class. As a future educator, I can look through blogs in order to see what other teachers are doing and be inspired to do different things within my classroom.     A
