  • A paragraph about your initial experiences using Diigo. What do you like/not like about using Diigo? 

    • Diigo is an OK platform, I didn’t find it overly helpful or overly useless either. Diigo reminds me of another similar program I have used in one of my other classes and I don’t remember students finding it very useful. While it is nice to see what others have commented or highlighted on a certain text it can be a bit overwhelming or even impossible to find useful comments. People are usually just commenting on it to make sure they get credit for an assignment. One way I can see to work around it is to make it not mandatory and purely for their own personal use. 

  • A paragraph about your experience with blogging. What do you like/not like about blogging? What have you learned so far during the blogging process?

    • Blogging isn’t my favorite thing in the world but I’ve done it recreationally before and it is not a terrible experience. I like having the freedom to choose everything about our blogs, customization wise, as it gives me a bit more motivation to write. I don’t like using/posting on social media so this is not a negative for the blog but it’s content. Since I was already very familiar with bloggers I learned new things about sharing the page in particular and how to make a custom url for your blog. 

  • A paragraph about an interesting Web 2.0 tool that you might use when teaching. Do not choose a tool we have already covered (e.g., Diigo, Instagram, Twitter, and blogs). Write a brief review and include a link to the tool.

    • I personally liked the Wiki and YouTube Web 2.0 tools as I think these are the most useful when it comes to teaching. I like how the Wiki allows students to create pages and collaborate on work together with a creative flair. I also think a class wiki would be very fun to do about the different topics learned (also a great study tool for a final exam). YouTube has had my back personally in my educational career, between tutorial videos, lectures, and crash courses this will definitely be used in my classroom.

 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 chal...

  A paragraph about how you think you will use data collection tools (e.g., Qualtrics for survey) as a teacher. Be specific about your subject matter area and the grade level. If you are not pursuing a teacher career, describe the context in which you may use data collection tools in your future career. Data collection tools are very useful regardless what profession you are in, in my opinion. In my current job we use them all the time to see what our target demographic is for our marketing strategies to help adapt our plans. In teaching it helps for scoring and seeing how others are doing, this gives you a benchmark to work towards. I even use data collection tools to help me create posts for my jobs social media page, Instagram has an algorithm that helps you see which posts are succeeding in the most and this is very beneficial to me.

  A paragraph about teacher pages on a school website. Some schools require teachers to maintain a set of class pages on the school website. Visit a school website and look at a few class pages. Write a paragraph about what kinds of information you see publicly (students and parents likely have access to the information you will not see without log-in privileges).  Include a link to the site.  https://terrawolves.com/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1311847&type=u I looked at my old high school's school page, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic I do not remember ever using it aside from wanting to know what my teachers the next semester would look like. The website is very easy to navigate with basic information on the school and some outdated photos. The actual teacher pages rang from detailed and updated to very outdated COVID-19 class resources. Some teachers treat this as a get to know me or upload their syllabus on it.  A paragraph about how you envision yourself usi...
