     In the designing process for my website, I made sure to adhere to certain design principals that make a website easier to navigate and more professional. Specifically, I ensured that my pages were somewhat symmetrical while still breaking the text up into blocks to increase readability. I also implemented the use of colors that fit well together and create a comfortable vibe. Overall, I enjoyed the creativity that the assignment evokes, and I am thankful for the opportunity to gain experience in creating websites.

    QR codes are something that I have be exposed to for many years in education and public life. I believe they are a very useful tool that can be applied in the classroom. In my own future classrooms, I imagine myself using them in a few ways. One way could simply be a bathroom sign-out page that each student scans before leaving. My high school used this system, and I saw it to be very successful. Additionally, I would provide QR codes on the board anytime that we are working with a website or an online document. Having the students type out a link or search for the website could cause unnecessary delay. That being said, even with technology spreading and advancing, there still may be students that do not have the ability or knowledge to scan a QR code. For that reason, I will still provide the link on screen.

    Implementation:

  1. Curriculum Development:

    • Use AI to generate lesson plans and assessments tailored to specific historical themes or periods.
    • AI can help create diverse perspectives on historical events, providing students with a more nuanced understanding.

  2. Research Assistance:

    • Students can use AI to generate summaries of historical texts or articles, helping them grasp key concepts quickly.
    • Encourage students to explore different interpretations of events through AI-generated content.

  3. Creative Projects:

    • Assign projects where students use AI to create presentations, videos, or interactive timelines, blending technology with historical inquiry.
    • Encourage students to use AI to write fictional diaries or letters from the perspective of historical figures.

  4. Interactive Learning:

    • Implement AI chatbots in the classroom for students to ask questions about historical events, facilitating self-directed learning.
    • Use AI-generated quizzes for immediate feedback on student understanding
    Above is a response from chat GPT that explains how Ai can be implemented into my high school history class. It also provided a few ethical dilemmas that come along with this method of teaching. The ethical problems included biased information and historically inaccurate information. I would address this by continuing in my use of AI to help generate lessons. However, I would take a few extra steps after receiving answers from chat GPT including fact checking against scholarly sources.

    Hi Luke! I really like your website. I think it all looks very cohesive and professional. I really like how at the top of each page there is an emblem of the Leon County Schools logo. I think changing the about me tab header to match the others would make it more cohesive. I found your website veery easy to navigate and informative!

    Hi Luke I like the website you made. It looks very tidy and easy to navigate. It is cool how you have chosen to place yourself in Leon county. I did not think of where to put myself in my website.

      The profession of teaching is one that often times requires you to deal with copyright and fair use laws. When selecting images, videos or other media to use in class, us teachers must ensure we are legally in the clear. For this reason, it is important for future teachers to develop an understanding of the laws. This week in class I built upon my own understanding. In my future classes I will reach out to copyright holders before using their intellectual property to get permission.     As for the effects of technology in classrooms, I believe one of the most prevalent negative ones is decreased productivity. In recent years, with more and more students owning cell phone as well as more classrooms using laptops and iPad, students have become more interested in their screens than the schoolwork. In my classroom, I will aim to avoid this consequence by putting in place expectations that devices are only to be used at certain times. I would also allow for set...

Blog Journal #6

      My blogging experience so far has definitely been a learning experience. At first, I saw this as simply an assignment to complete, but now, I see it more as an opportunity to reflect on what I have learned and think critically about how I will use it in teaching. I like how when I am blogging, I am able to gather my thoughts on the course material. I feel that it helps me with remembering it. As for any negative feelings I have towards blogging, I suppose that it can at time feel forced depending on the required material to address.          As I covered in our assignment this week to create a lesson plan, I see a great deal of potential for the use of  Ruttl - Best Design Feedback Tool  in teaching. This tool allows a teacher to assign reading to a class that the students can create public annotations on. This ability to see classmate's annotations promotes collaboration and can help students to understand the reading. I will defi...
