Blog Journal #7

  Roberts Elementary School I looked at third-grade teachers' pages/ favorites lists and found that most posted information describes their favorite things, such as foods, activities, subjects, etc. Most also include some cool graphics or designs. While they don't go into great detail about how their classes are structured, you can still get a good feel for the teacher as a person based on the information provided. Something I liked included on some of the pages was a link to the teacher's classroom wish list. This is an excellent way for teachers to keep parents updated on how they can help.  I enjoyed using the Canvas group tool. It made it easy for all gruop members to work on the assignment without locating or sharing a link. I also liked that it included time stamps of the last time a specific page was worked on. This made it easy to know who was working on what and when. This feature would be better if it sent notifications when a member of the gruop edited something....

 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...

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, par...

 1. The standard LAFS.3.RI.2.5 aims to help third graders learn how to use kid-safe search engines effectively. Students should understand how to navigate hyperlinks, find online textbooks, use the search bar and sidebars efficiently, and search for keywords related to their topics. I am well-prepared to teach this, as I have spent considerable time researching and writing academic papers in college, developing these skills. Given how technologically savvy most kids are, this concept will be easy to teach. 2. The resources on   CPALMS   could serve as valuable starting points for creating my lessons related to the standard. However, I don't want to rely solely on the lessons from the website; I aim to add my personal touches. I recognize that the provided lessons may not benefit all my students due to their varying learning styles and accommodations. I selected the standard MA.K12.MTR.2.1. which involved teaching students how to  demonstrate understanding by rep...

  Copyright and fair use are essential topics to address in third grade. If students become accustomed to repeating precisely what their textbooks or other sources say, it could lead to issues in later grades where Copyright and fair use are taken more seriously. There is generally less concern for teachers regarding copyright issues thanks to the many online resources available for educators designed and posted with the intention of multiple teachers using this template. However, it’s still crucial for teachers to incorporate their own teaching styles and personal touches into lesson plans created by others. Additionally, it is extremely important to teach students to use sources for reference rather than simply restating what the book says. When students learn to express concepts in their own words, they develop their ability to summarize and understand information more deeply.   As a future teacher, I plan to address academic dishonesty by developing a strong understand...
