Entry 3

 When coming up with material to give students I would find it best to create a unique curriculum. Though that can be a lot of work and very time-consuming it decreases the likelihood of copyright issues and engages the students more. It can also decrease the likelihood of cheating as unique material calls for unique answers.

It is theorized that students have a decrease in productivity when allowed to use technology in class. While it's not proven I agree with this as I've seen many students use technology for other things during designated technology time. This causes students to fall behind in class very quickly. Ad blockers and site blockers would work well but I've seen lots of people get past them, so a better solution would be the teacher's computer being able to watch over the rest. 

Though I agree AI can be so helpful if used correctly I've never seen it used for good. I typically see it used for cheating on assignments and as a teacher managing AI is very difficult. It would be best to keep it out of schools until there are more rules around the use of AI in education. I've also seen teachers allow students to ask for permission to use AI in the classroom, which I like but I feel can lead to a slippery slope.

    Hey, Ashley! I found your post very interesting. I agree that teachers should be creative with their class materials, but I do not think that they should be responsible for creating everything. Curriculum, specifically, should be largely standardized across classrooms. I agree that ad blockers and site blockers would be beneficial for students, especially younger students who may venture off-task frequently. I also agree that AI is a slippery slope that can be used to cheat, but I think that it is important to acknowledge the benefits of AI as well. Overall, great post and thank you for sharing your opinions!

For the technology standard used for 5th grade it includes basic websites such as Wordle, Youtube and Google slides. It includes explaining texts and using engaging educational sites. With my current skill set I feel I could implement this standard. It's limited to pulling up websites and navigating them, as well as creating basic documents such as PowerPoints. These are basic skills I feel I mastered in middle school and I would feel very comfortable implementing them in a classroom. The resource of lesson planning found on the website can be extremely helpful in my teaching. It can be used to ensure the alignment of curriculum, which is extremely helpful for students, especially in standardized testing. It gives ideas for activities that can cut time for lesson planning and is engaging for students. It also gives a better idea of what teachers should cover and how they can do it efficiently. Being proficient in internet searching allows teachers to access a variety of resources t

I worry about privacy with AI. I don't have any questions about AI tools right now. 3. Using ChatGPT has been fun. It's cool to see how AI has conversations. I never realized how much goes into making AI bots. Again there's still security risks with AI to protect students from.  4. AI tools could be helpful for efficiency. A tool that can help with organizing materials could save teachers a lot of time. I'd be open to trying AI tools but I'd want to make sure they're easy to use and respect students' privacy. I think a simple one to use would be something to create lesson plans.
