Blog #7

 

After looking at a couple teacher pages, I saw a couple of ways to contact the teachers via email, phone number etc. There were also many resources listed such as calendars for future events and course curriculums that outlined the content of the year. In addition to these things, there was commonly an "about me" page that was meant to familiarize students and parents with the teacher. This included things such as the teacher's background as well as photos and updates of classroom expectations.


As a teacher, I envision using technology to help improve and build upon my workflow. This can include helping with organization and brainstorming better learning opportunities for my students. Specific teacher and productivity tools I would use include Google Drive for student collaboration and Nearpod for interactive lessons. Gradebook could also be used for grading to save time and help me to focus more on the instruction part of teaching.


I think AI is effectively supportive when it comes to outlining lesson plans, for the generation of ideas. However, human expertise can be more effective when there needs to be specialized modifications to teaching in the emotional atmosphere of things. Not all students respond the same or need the same things. Assignment three taught me that a good lesson plan should be diverse and allow room for growth and change. Evaluating an AI generated plan did give me many ideas on how a lesson can be formed instead of following the same basic format. I liked being able to edit things on the same platform as my classmates but I didn't like that the tool wasn't completely synchronous.
