My experience using generative AI tools has been positive, as I can get a direct answer when using AI. Sometimes, using Google can be confusing because you often have to search for your desired answer. After completing this week's graded discussion activity, I see that the benefit of using AI for Internet searches is that it gives you a quick answer and explanation for the specific question being asked. The only concerns I have would be students only using AI to get answers for their homework or exams instead of using it for research and knowledge purposes. Google can give multiple websites to expand your knowledge on the topic. 

    The ELA technology standard Matrix for grades 11-12 is about diverse formatting and media. Each of the standards mentions how formatting and media are important. The technology includes different online software and some graphing. I am prepared to implement this standard as I use most of these various software and technology in college.        One of the standards I chose was the SS.912.A.1.3 standard, discussing how to utilize historical timelines. I think most of these resources can be useful in a classroom because they keep the topics organized and easier to understand for students. Using timelines in a history class will be beneficial for students to understand when and why certain events occurred. I will provide a large timeline of American history displayed on my classroom walls A teacher needs to be a proficient internet searcher because they need to be able to look up certain things. Teachers have to be able to use multiple websites an...

1. As a teacher, it is important to create your own exams and assignments to match the teaching style you have used in class. Both my students and I should be able to not copyright other work to prove that we both understand the material. If a child is caught cheating or copyrighting, they will receive a zero for that assignment. When a teacher makes their work, it is harder for students to plagiarize.  2. Academic dishonesty happens often in classrooms, especially when teaching older students with more internet access. As a teacher, it is my job to ensure I am giving enough material and being available for help to stop the need for cheating. If a student decides to be academically dishonest, they will receive a zero for the assignment. Students make mistakes, so I will not let them judge their character and hope they create their own work from now on.  3. I do think AI is helpful in classroom settings as long as it does not interfere with students' learning. ChatGPT can be ab...

     Since elementary school, I have used Microsoft Word to complete my teacher's assignments. In my opinion, I prefer to use Google Docs for note-taking purposes. I believe Microsoft Word can be difficult and slow to use, especially during school hours. With my Gmail connected to Google Docs, it is simple to email notes or assignments rather than downloading the documents.       Standard 2.5 Designer stands out to me as I believe it is important to let students get creative with their work. If students feel more connected to their assignments, they will be more willing to learn and complete their assignments. Standard 2.5 discusses how educators should create "learner-driven activities" and "accommodate learner variability". Each year, I learn about new platforms and different ways to make assignments more enjoyable.      Digital native is where an individual has grown up using and relying on technology in their daily lives. I do agree ...

 1. I hope to learn this semester how to use technology more in school. For the most part, I am comfortable with only using a few platforms such as Google, Google Docs, Gmail, and Canvas. Sometimes, technology confuses me and gives me anxiety thinking I am going to mess up or post the wrong assignment. Since I wish to become a teacher after I graduate, I want to know more about how to use technology to help my students reach their full potential. 2. My prior experience of using technology in an educational setting was during high school. All four years of high school I was a part of the yearbook committee and was named one of the main editors. I learned how to use Photoshop, adobe, and Illustrator as well as getting certified in all three areas. After learning how to use these platforms, I was confident in my work and was able to do my job correctly.  3. While I was a part of the yearbook committee, I learned how to edit photos, make spreadsheets, organize a page to fit multip...
