I prefer Google's response, which surprised me because I initially thought ChatGPT would better consolidate all the information I needed into a single source. However, I found Google helpful in providing graphics and videos demonstrating how to tie a tie and offering sources for further information on my other questions. 

 

Depending on the nature of the research, ChatGPT can still be more beneficial for researchers than Google. It excels at providing different perspectives on topics without requiring users to sift through numerous tabs. Additionally, ChatGPT engages in a conversational flow, making it easier to explore questions without repeatedly rephrasing them. I use different keywords, as I would on Google.

 

One improvement that could enhance ChatGPT's utility is the inclusion of visual aids in its responses, especially when appropriate, such as when I asked how to tie a tie. While the response was detailed and descriptive, the lack of visuals was disappointing, particularly for me as a visual learner. 

 

On the other hand, Google is superior for finding information from specific sources. I prefer the answers from Google because they address my questions and provide the sources of the information. This aspect is crucial, as it is essential to find the answers I seek and understand where that information originates. I know there is misinformation and biased sources out there, and if a source isn't provided, I can't be sure that ChatGPT's response is credible. 

 

Overall, I would not consider replacing Google with AI for information searches because Google is better at providing reliable information along with sources and can present information in multiple formats. Meanwhile, ChatGPT is better suited for brainstorming ideas and exploring different perspectives.

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...
