 In this class, I hope to learn about different types of technology used by teachers and how they are incorporating these tools to make instruction easier. When I was in middle school, many of my teachers used apps like ClassDojo and Kahoot. I'm excited to see if apps like these are still effective today or what alternatives have emerged. I'm also interested in understanding how and why AI is or is not being utilized in classrooms. This has been a hot topic in my other education class, but I hope we can delve more deeply into educational technology.

In my Introduction to Education class, I use technology to help me create lesson plans and participate in group work during class time. We often use an app called Padlet for collaborative discussions. This app allowed all group members to make edits, design, and add material to our group's board from our separate devices, and it also enabled us to view the work of other groups. I utilize the website Cpalms to find ideas for lessons, and I use Canvas to create engaging PowerPoint presentations. 

I enjoy exploring the various ways people learn. As a Women's Studies major, I am also particularly interested in understanding different cultures and perspectives on common issues. One of my favorite hobbies is watching murder mysteries and trying to solve the case before the killer is revealed. Recently, I've utilized the FSU online database for reading resources, and I often turn to YouTube for tutorials and concept breakdown videos.

I learned A new skill from the web design assignment: embedding links into a website. I find this skill incredible and believe it will be helpful in the future if I ever need to build a website for a company or as a teacher. I applied all of the CRAP design principles to my website, but I found readability to be the most challenging aspect. This was mainly because I wanted to use a theme that incorporated a lot of black and white, making it difficult to choose a text color that remained easy to read.  I enjoyed this assignment because it helped me better visualize what makes me unique as a teacher. However, I wish I could have also seen my classmates' websites. I wish I had figured out how to change the location of the content bar on each page. This way, when scrolling from page to page, I wouldn't have to return to the top of each page to navigate.

 I had a positive experience using AI to generate a lesson plan. I appreciated how the process felt conversational. One significant benefit of utilizing AI for lesson planning is that it breaks everything down into sections. If I have questions about a particular section, I can ask the AI to expand on it. Another aspect I enjoyed was that AI provides examples of lessons related to the topic. This is valuable because the examples differ from those available on Cpalms and are likely to be more unique. However, I have one concern about using AI to generate lesson plans, which is that it doesn't typically account for classroom management unless specifically prompted. This would be better addressed using a dedicated teacher website like Cpalms. Overall, this experience has made me more inclined to use AI for planning future lessons because I appreciate the ability to brainstorm different examples in one place and have those examples detailed thoroughly. However, I don't think I will...
