TEACHING STUDENTS

I think knowledge sharing benefits you as an instructor and students because it enhances your knowledge. 

Limitations of ChatGPT

In the course ED148: Introduction to ChatGPT, one of the stated limitations is that ChatGPT "does not have access to real-time information or the ability to browse the internet for the latest updates." However, I believe this is no longer accurate for the current version. I asked ChatGPT to browse the internet and display the headline of today's New York Post—and it did so successfully. This shows that, beyond its training data, ChatGPT can now access and retrieve real-time information from the web. I'd love to hear your thoughts—do you agree, or have you experienced something different?

GOOGLE SPACE 119R

Google space offers so much opportunities for students to collaborate and share information especially when students are working on projects.  The team of students can keep track of what their peers are doing, team members can also provide comments or suggestions  on group members contribution.  Teachers can also monitor students work and can guide students in terms of whether they are on the right track or topic. Students can also ask questions for clarification. Moreover, teachers can also use it to share assignments and provide submission dates.  I am definitely going to try Zoho Notebook and Slide Share as they provide myriads of opportunities for students to collaborate information. 

In terms of assignments or quizzes, I was wondering whether students can copy each other's work unknowingly to the teacher or does the instructor has comprehenisve monitoring, so he/she is able to detect suspicious activity when it comes to quizzes.

Tool of the past / Tool of the future

In discussing the topic of AI in the classrooms with our Instructors, one of them brought up a great point.  There was a time when calculators were considered "cheating" and were frowned upon.  AI is the new "calculator" for this day and age.  

Repeat

This appears to be a repeat question. Regardless the technology offered now is so very convenient for Instructors and students. If your sick you can still participate and get things completed. IF you have car or transportation issues its not a problem, stay at home and do your work. This is the greatest thing ever!

CONVENIENT

You can use it from home which is of great convenience. It also saves you money on gas and car repairs. 

Plagiarism

Hello. How do you eliminate cheating and plagiarism?  Are their any websites to help you assist with stoping this?

Chat GPT

welcome all help in advancing student knowledge 

Interesting

Please share your honest opinions on how you envision the future of Education with AI.

ED119R- Using Technology to Engage and Educate

Este curso me ha resultado sumamente interesante, ya que recupera la importancia del constructivismo como teoría del aprendizaje que coloca al estudiante en el centro de la escena educativa. El profesor que se posiciona en esa teoría promueve, alienta y estimula al estudiante a "ir por más"; que sea protagonista, que resuelva o presente modos de resolver problemas, que pueda crear...

En ese proceso, la tecnología ocupa un rol central. Como profesora, no puedo dejar a mis estudiantes al margen de los cambios tecnológicos. Es necesario adentrarlos en las discusiones, en la indagación de las nuevas herramientas para que puedan desarrollar un pensamiento crítico que les permita analizar la información de manera criteriosa, reconociendo fuentes certeras.

Para enseñar con tecnologías y que las prácticas de enseñanza generen compromiso, tengan fuerza moral y epistemológica, es necesaria la formación docente permanente, fundamentalmente en las nuevas alfabetizaciones y lenguajes que se desarrollan con cada aplicación, plataforma o red social. También es necesario conocer acerca de los intereses de nuestros estudiantes, cuáles son sus pasatiempos, sus gustos, preferencias.

No para convertirnos, como docentes, en “influencers”, sino para comprender las lógicas de interacción actuales y abrir diversas puertas al conocimiento.
