Blog Journal #6

     I've had nothing but good experiences with Diigo thus far. Its ability to bookmark, annotate, and share web materials is something I value greatly since it has been quite helpful to me in my academic mission. I took the time to explore these features as mentioned in the course description and can utilize them. With Diigo, I can effectively arrange my research materials and add insightful annotations to online pages, which helps me comprehend the topic on a deeper level. The feature that allows me to attach sticky notes to specific webpage sections is one that I enjoy because it makes it easier for me to highlight important details or make notes for future research. I have, however, come across a few minor usability problems, such as random lag times and formatting errors.


    I have found blogging to be a really simple and interesting activity. The blogging task in this class feels less like an assignment and more like a creative method of expression. I like having a creative platform to express my ideas and observations on various aspects of educational technology and ethics. Through blogging, I can interact with a larger audience and promote thought-provoking conversations on pertinent problems in the industry. I value having the ability to research a variety of subjects and try out various writing techniques, which helps me improve my communication abilities. But sometimes it's difficult for me to consistently post my best writing, especially with school obligations and other responsibilities. Getting comments from my professor has also been beneficial and encourages me to keep thinking back on my writing and concepts. I've discovered through blogging how crucial it is to be genuine, clear, and share compelling stories to grab readers' interest and create deep connections with other members of the online community.



    Flip is an interesting Web 2.0 resource that I might utilize in my classroom. Flip is owned by Microsoft and is used by students to participate in lively, group video talks. Flip allows for a more intimate and participatory learning environment by enabling users to make quick videos in response to prompts or questions, in contrast to conventional text-based forums. Not to mention, I believe Flip is especially appealing to me since it fosters critical thinking, communication, and student engagement. It encourages fun, engaging conversation and active listening among kids as well as gives them the confidence to voice their opinions and views. Moreover, learners of all ages and skill levels can utilize Flip thanks to its user-friendly interface and adaptable features. All things considered, I think Flip can turn conventional classroom debates into engaging learning experiences. Here is a link to the free application https://info.flip.com/en-us.html.

   While I haven't been an official lead teacher, my role as an assistant teacher at the FSU childcare and early learning center has allowed me to make assertions about copyright and fair use. I have learned that navigating copyright and fair use is valuable in developing instructional materials and guiding students. When asked how I would incorporate this skill into a classroom, I have to mention that there must be a balance between fostering creativity and respecting intellectual property rights. Encouraging students to cite sources and use credited materials would be at the top of my list. While challenges with proper usage may appear, I believe that teaching this skill is worth the trouble and will benefit my students in their future endeavours.     Out of the listed technology implementation issues, the one that I have the most to say about is cyberbullying. Cyberbullying seems almost inevitable, and unfortunately that applies even in an educational setting. One solution is to

    1.    https://camilamunante.weebly.com (https://camilamunante.weebly.com)     2.    My AI use is not very expansive. I use AI for grammar correction, on applications like Grammarly. I use it to fix my papers grammar but keep their uniqueness. I am motivated to use AI because it helps me ensure my papers are correct and well-written. My main question about AI is what do programmers do to make AI appealing to specific demographics.     3.    I used ChatGPT a lot in highschool when it first came out. I thought it was amusing and helped me get ideas for papers to write. I never used it for the purpose of plagiarism. Through my experience with AI, i learned that it is not always accurate anf sometimes you need to ask questions twice to get correct answers. My perspective on AI has stayed the same since reading the materials because i always knew it had its ups and downs. I would address the potential risks of plagiarism to my students when it comes to AI. I would also emphasize that ove

Camila’s First Post

 Hi everyone! My name is Camila and I am a first-year at Florida State University. I am a psychology major with an intended minor in education. With my education, I hope to one day become a certified school psychologist and be able to help children advance in their education and cognitive developmental skills. I am a first-generation student, so education has always been heavily valued in my family and I hope to incorporate this mindset into my future career.  In terms of my prior experience using technology in an educational settings, I would say that I have been sufficiently exposed to educational technology. Using technology based materials over pen and paper has only increased in my time as a student. I use technology to write notes, watch lectures, and manage my school schedule. Prior to this class, I have been familiarized with Microsoft applications because my high school provided them and feel efficient in most of them. My personal learning networks consists of a good mix betwe
