Part 1
Digital literacy is near and dear to my heart. It is at the center of my teaching world. Digital use and digital citizenship are integrated into most if not all my lessons. I teacher databases, citations, web validity, the importance of your digital footprint (tattoo), the importance of responsible use and ethical behavior. I help integrate digital creation tools into units I co-teach so that students have an opportunity to show what they know in different creative ways. I think this is so important. I hope moving forward, I have additional opportunities to work with students learn new ways to use and evaluate technology. I want to support students as they learn, create, use, and explore technology. I also want to help them understand how to stay safe navigating the mind fields that are a part of the digital world.
Part 2
I find this both scary and intriguing. All I can think about at this moment is AI and the enormous impact it is, can and will have on humans. There are so many potential positive impacts that I am hopefully we will see advances and improvements in science and health fields. I am also super aware that there are always those that will use advancements for their own personal gain. I find this incredible scary. I attended a conference where they featured an important political person voice patterns being learned by an AI then used to create a completely fictious speech. It was super hard to figure out that this was fake news. I know that once the genie is out there no way to get it back in the bottle. Moving forward I hope to stay openminded and informed.
