  • A paragraph about your early experiences using Twitter(X)/Instagram for your Personal Learning Network. With whom have you been interacting and how have you found it beneficial? How might Twitter(X)/Instagram be helpful in your future career?

    • The accounts I’ve followed personally have not had much of an effect on my learning and network. I never really enjoyed using social media so that could be the reason as to my feeling on the matter. I don’t see a place for social media in education at all, I see it more as a hindrance. While funny educational videos might be somewhat useful you do also have to consider the other content on these sites.

  • A paragraph about the digital divide. How does the digital divide affect student success in schools? What are some causes of the digital divide? Reflect on what you may experience as a classroom teacher and how this will affect your teaching strategies.

    • The digital divide is a growing issue with todays students, some students still do not have reliable access to technology even though education seems to be moving in that route entirely. From digital workbooks, textbooks, and assignments education is growing ever more digital. This can make it very difficult to complete assignments unlike workbooks and physical texts which can be taken anywhere with or without internet. Digital divide can be caused by anything from poverty to physical area (rural communities), although socioeconomic status is the primary cause. As a teacher I would like to have a very traditional classroom with physical agendas, worksheets, textbooks, etc. 

  • A paragraph about academic software for students. Identify two software tools you would like to implement in your future classroom. Describe the software tools and why you would like to use them with your future students.

    • In college, or at least FSU, we use software tools every day. This software, Canvas, is how we see and do assignments as well as communicate with our professors. In my classroom Canvas and possibly ClassDojo, both of these are extremely useful in keeping students organized but also keeping parents informed. This is my primary goal while using these, to keep students updated and on the same page as their peers.

 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
