Here is a link to my conversation with a chatbot:

My initial response to having an assignment to check out a chatbot was… excitement! Chat options are something I have only lately begun to utilize and trust, and even as an elementary teacher- I really haven't had much experience with the relatively new technology of chatbots. 

I actually do feel confident in the information that was provided by the bot. I believe this is because of the content. If I didn't already have a bachelors degree in child development, I may have been more surprised by the outcome. I was personally happy with the answer to my last question, which was about my own children not having a phone. I may have screenshotted that to use as proof during the next family meeting! 

I think the prompts provided by the assignment were effective to the chatbot. I did not have to rephrase or add context to my prompts to get better output, particularly when asking follow up questions.

I wouldn’t do or ask anything different for this assignment. Initially, I was surprised at how lengthy the questions were and wondered if the bot would be able to effectively answer. So, if anything, I may have asked a more simple version of the question- but that wouldn't have been necessary. 

I am still not sure how to use chatbot in my fourth grade classroom. Possibly we could use it as a whole group lesson for research purposes. But, If a student were to use a chatbot to answer questions on an assignment I would know. So, at the moment, I would trust and encourage my students to explore with a chatbot! In fact, I think that's what will go into next week's lesson plans!

Hyper for HyperDocs

Hyper for Hyper Docs I never realized there was a name for the way our classroom was evolving. I knew after the pandemic that teaching would never be the same, but now I don't know how I would teach without it.  I think back into my beginning years as a teacher.. ~que the dreamy music~ how did we operate without having slides? It was much harder. I mean, we had slides.. like you could make a "death by PowerPoint" presentation, but that just wasn't the vibe. I guess we just wrote on the white board, projected worksheets with the doc. cam. and stood up there and talked. I remember when the district was trying to force us to use apps and incorporate technology like padlet and seesaw . At first the task was daunting. Not only was I doggy paddling through the days, but now you want me to learn something new, teach it, and use it daily in the classroom?! 2025- If the internet goes down, we may as well go home. We are delivering daily instruction with the use of HyperDocs....

3 of my favorite APPs in the classroom!

  Week 6 Techplay #2 3 creative apps 1.        Flipgrid : What I liked personally about this app is that it is google certified, so my district will allow it to be downloaded for classroom use, which makes things so much easier. Also, it is very easy for me to access the students work. When the students post videos or photos, I am able to see them in a nice organized layout. I just click on each one to view and I can respond immediately with either video, audio or text. a.        2 examples of potential student work I would design using this app:                                                                ...

Check out my Playlist!

  You're making a TikTok for SCHOOL?!   (<----Click the Link Please!) Roaming/ searching around with YouTube is not exactly new territory for me, but posting and creating with it is. Last semester, I was very surprised at how easy it was for me to edit and post a read aloud I had made. I played, re-recorded, critiqued, and fretted this assignment for a week, even all through a summer vacation.. ( drove the kiddos 14 hours to Destin Florida ). On the day I posted it to YouTube, I quickly realized its abilities. Next time, I'll skip the third party apps.  So, for this assignment, I am adding things to a playlist.. come to find out.. I already had several playlists and I didn't even realize! One thing I had encountered with the YouTube playlists is that, when I'm trying to save videos that I want to include in my daily slides for lessons- It will NOT let me save it to a playlist. Hmmm..   like for example: In my fourth grade RLA class, we are about to write our firs...
