  • 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 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
