My Experience with Blogging

Throughout this course, my experience with blogging has been both enjoyable and educational. I like that blogging gives me a creative outlet to share my thoughts, reflect on class concepts, and organize my ideas in a clear way. However, sometimes it can feel challenging to make sure every post is long enough or detailed enough to meet requirements while still sounding natural. Overall, I’ve learned that blogging is not just about posting information—it’s about communicating ideas in a personal, engaging voice that connects with readers.

Artificial Intelligence in Education

Artificial intelligence in education is a topic that I find both fascinating and a little uncertain. On one hand, AI has the potential to make learning more personalized by adjusting lessons to fit each student’s needs and pace. On the other hand, I worry that overreliance on AI could reduce creativity and critical thinking if it replaces too much of the human element in teaching. My initial thought is that AI should be used as a helpful tool to support teachers, not to replace them.

My Experience with Generative AI for Participation Portfolio Item

When completing the Generative AI participation portfolio item, I experimented with AI to help brainstorm ideas and create lesson plans. I found that it worked really well for organizing my thoughts and generating creative ways to present information to students. However, sometimes the responses felt too generic or needed editing to match my exact goals. Next time, I would give the AI more specific prompts and refine its ideas rather than using them directly, so my final product feels more authentic and aligned with my personal teaching style.

Using Generative AI in My Future Teaching Practice

In my future teaching career, I can see myself using Generative AI as a planning assistant and creative partner. It could help me write lesson plans, create classroom newsletters, or design educational visuals for students. At the same time, I would make sure to teach students about digital citizenship and the importance of verifying AI-generated information. To address ethical concerns, I would always give credit when AI tools are used, ensure that student privacy is protected, and encourage thoughtful, responsible use of technology in the classroom.

Blog Setup Ed Tech

 In this class, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of how technology can be used to enhance learning and communication. I want to become more confident in using different online platforms and tools, not only for academic purposes but also for professional settings in the future. Since technology continues to play a huge role in education and the workplace, I believe the skills I learn here will help me collaborate more effectively and stay adaptable in an ever-changing digital world. I am especially interested in learning how to present information in clear, creative, and engaging ways. In my prior educational experiences, I have used technology in several ways. Most of my classes have involved online platforms such as Canvas for assignments, quizzes, and discussions. I have also used programs like Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint to complete projects. During high school, I attended some virtual classes, which helped me learn how to manage my time and stay organized in an ...

  Technology Implementation Issue One of the biggest technology implementation issues in schools today is cyberbullying . Students may feel more confident saying unkind things online than they would in person, which can harm their peers emotionally and academically. As a future teacher, I would plan to set clear expectations for respectful digital communication and create lessons about digital citizenship early in the year. I would also use monitoring tools when possible and build a classroom culture where students feel safe reporting concerns, knowing that I will take them seriously and respond appropriately. Copyright and Fair Use I have learned about copyright and fair use before in school, mostly when writing essays and creating projects that used online images or videos. As a teacher, I will need to make sure that both I and my students use resources ethically. For example, I can model this by citing images in my presentations and teaching students how to use Creative Commo...

Throughout K-12, I used Microsoft Word frequently for essays, research papers, and projects. It was a reliable tool for formatting documents and practicing academic writing. At FSU, I continue to use MS Word for assignments, but I often prefer Google Docs because of its collaborative features and automatic cloud saving. Google Docs makes it easier to share work with classmates, receive feedback, and edit on the go without worrying about losing files. While Word has more advanced formatting options, I find Google Docs to be more user-friendly for everyday schoolwork. One ISTE Standard that stands out to me is the role of the Educator as a Designer. This standard emphasizes creating authentic, learner-driven activities and environments that recognize student needs and encourage creativity. I’ve learned that being a designer means more than just making lessons look appealing; it’s about tailoring technology and resources so that students can engage meaningfully with the content. My main q...
