Blog Journal 5

 I have liked my blogging experience buy and large. I've never really had a diary or anything similar before so this has been a new experience but it's nothing to complain about. As for the pros this more informal style of communication allows me to better think through what's actually going through my head at a given moment instead of being caught up in professional jargon. When I think about cons not much comes to mind. I might say that I was a bit confused with designing the actual page itself but I've grown to appreciate how stylistically simple my blog page is specifically. 

My thoughts on using AI in education with more specifically this role of low level poetry is mixed. On one hand it is useful for creating a lesson plan and throwing ideas at a wall and creating a list that is comprehensive to think about everything. On the other hand I don't think it could reliably produce the actual poems themselves perfect as is because it is not tailored to what you need always. This makes it okay for things like lesson plans but not great when you're looking at the actual content of a lesson plan.

So that AI test was interesting for me. For the sake of the assignment I switched over to ChatGPT which I never use as I prefer Gemini and it tends to be more reliable. So I used GPT and it generated me something that I saw as good enough. But then the two kind of pushbacks I have is that it was very general with what it said to the point of not really being useful and the second thing is that it dropped the f bomb for no clear reason. I told it then to not swear and thankfully it fixed itself.

If I were to ever use AI in my classroom its use would be intentionally limited. When we look at in my example geometry AI can give you test questions but they will always be general and not tailor made and that will always be something you can't look past as an educator when you are trying to get kids to care. Also, if students see a teacher using AI they will think it's okay to use to and the way they use it is to put it bluntly mostly not okay. So if I had to use AI it would at most be used for lesson planning if I really needed to just throw ideas at a wall.
