  • A paragraph about copyright and fair use. How would you deal with these concepts as a teacher, developing your own instructional materials, and having students create their own works? Have you learned anything new about it? Are there any lingering questions, concerns, or ideas? Feel free to share your reflection.

    • Copyright and fair use is not a common issue for teachers in my personal opinion, unless they are trying to do worksheets or a premade powerpoint. It could be that I do not have much experience in that matter but I have not heard my teachers struggling with copyright issues. As a teacher I would try to work in a school that has plenty of resources for me and my students so I hopefully do not have to worry about copyright and fair use. I would love to learn of the obstacles teachers face with them seeing as I don’t know much about this topic.  

  • A paragraph about technology implementation issues. Select one of the technology implementation issues listed below. Propose a solution to the selected issue that you could implement in your future classroom. Be specific.

    • Lack of funding is one of the biggest walls for students and schools alike when talking about technology implementation. Lack of funding can be resolved by doing as little as a bake sale or writing to the local governments to get appropriations for their technology needs. I know of many instances of schools going to their state/local capitals to get funding for certain projects and needs they have. If I needed funding for my students I would write letters to the state and my local governments and try to do bake sales for smaller financial needs. 

  • A paragraph about implementing generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT) in classrooms. Do you think the generative AI is helping or hurting student learning, or maybe a bit of both? Are there any lingering questions, concerns, or ideas? 

    • I don’t agree with implementing AI in classrooms at all, I think it hinders student learning. I use AI for work emails and templates for my job. Other than that, I don't use it at all. AI is hurting students because they don't have to think about writing papers or your assigned topics. AI can be used as a structural thing perhaps but not as a means of doing assignments and whatnot.

  • A paragraph about the new skills you acquired from working on the Newsletter Design assignment. How could you improve your newsletter in the future? How can the skills you learned from the assignment be used in your future career? Display a screenshot of your newsletter on your blog.

    • I learned how to do a newsletter from scratch, though I learned many new skills I’m not quite sure just how helpful this was. There are many templates that exist out there for teachers to use and I don’t think that the majority of teachers have time to create an entire newsletter from scratch with all the other things they have to do. I think it was a good skill to learn, however I don't see it as practical. I have never seen a newsletter created from scratch before and this was a rather fun assignment to do after working out the kinks.

 https://mspuigeme2024.weebly.com/ A paragraph about your daily use of AI tools. Do you use AI tools? How do you use them? If you don't, why not? Are you motivated to use AI? Do you have any questions about the AI tools? I use AI in the workplace daily, I won't go much into Chat GPT as we will talk about it in the next section. Two AI tools I use frequently are Canva and Supermeme.ai these help me in my work and personal life. Canva is great to create flyers and even videos for my job as it provides me with many different templates. Supermeme.ai allows me to create memes for my coworkers and my friends recreationally.  A paragraph about your experience in using ChatGPT.  Describe your experience practicing using it (you can copy and paste your prompts and results). What did you learn about AI chatbots?   How has your perception of AI maintained or changed after reading the materials in this week's AI module? How might you address the potential risks or challenges regarding

                Hello everyone, my name is Kristina Puig. I am a 3rd year student at FSU currently pursuing a degree in History with a minor in Education. I enjoy baking, cooking, fish-keeping, and playing many different types of video games. My favorite animals are cats (you can see my cat in a picture below) and fun fact they are not all that different genetically from tigers!               Technology has been around in my classroom for a long time, I went from very simple AR computers to full blown laptops throughout my education. I have used many different programs such as all of the office programs and their google counterparts. Technology has been a big part of the classroom whether it was for writing papers, taking tests, or even just researching different sources. Technology can be a very helpful tool in education that has allowed me and my classmates to do our work anywhere at anytime as well as having all the access to whatever resources we might need however sometimes I miss

  A paragraph about your experience using MS Word as a student (both in K-12 and at FSU). Do you prefer another word processing software (e.g., Google Docs or Pages)? If so, why do you prefer to use this word processing software? Microsoft Word has been a big part of my time as a student, I have been using MS Word since middle school and it has been very helpful. However, in highschool i started to use Google Docs and in my opinion this program is much better in both functionality and shareability. Google docs can be used on almost any device and can be updated from anywhere with real time updates without any extra steps. This program also makes it much easier to share a document with group members or teachers (you can even convert it into a MS Word document). While MS Word might have more niche features, Google Docs is still much better for the average student.  A paragraph about the ISTE Standards for Educators Select the standard that is most meaningful to you. Have you learned any
