Weekly Reflections

This group project was certainly a necessary and interesting topic to have researched. Artificial Intelligence is such an unpredictable reality, where the classroom scope of this is even more unprecedented. There are many aspects of these tools that can aid teachers, school staff, administrators, and students; however, there may be harmful occurrences with its use…

This is my final post about my Inquiry Project! I have quite enjoyed documenting the new meals I have experimented in creating. Having eaten the entire past year in The Cove at UVic, I took some inspiration from the meals I enjoyed and created my own with high-quality foods. I work at Whole Foods, so…

I found it interesting that we could choose three topics we found most interesting to us. Most of the topics had overlap, and so it was nice to have them be grouped into a more general category. Then, when we were put into breakout rooms, it was nice to have a GoogleDoc made for our…

The speaker brought up a situation where the student thought about bubbles in the ocean which could keep the machines used for AI cool. This prompted me to think of the ways in which AI can be used to…

During Jesse’s presentation, I thought a lot about the different cases I have personally seen during my years of schooling. In high school, there was a male PE teacher who had 120+ reported cases against him, but they had to go to the police to file those reports. I feel like those students were failed…

The concept of having multiple spaces allows for more depth of certain areas, and I like how all the students have their specific inquiries. The environment with the lighting, the open seating, the shared spaces, and the classrooms were…

Firstly, the ISTE reminds me of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator in some ways, because of the way they present each standard. I found 2.6.D. particularly interesting (Facilitator), “Modelling and Nurturing Creativity” since I would not think of that initially being prompted by Facilitator. Information literacy is the most touched upon subject area surrounding technology, but…

I was nervous that the course might not be very hands-on, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn how self-directed in a way that it is, despite being given our instructions. I was excited to learn about the blog, and the inquiry we will be doing and starting. I definitely have some anxiety around technology,…
