1. I do not have much experience with blogging at all throughout my life. I enjoyed reading other people's blogs when I was younger, such as my friends' blogs. I also remember a teacher who would always create a weekly blog for our class. Writing these posts have provided me with an idea of what blogging regularly would be like. It would be challenging for me to construct weekly blog posts without these prompts, so the thought of maintaining a personal blog sounds a bit stressful.
2. My personal thoughts consist of mostly negatives, simply due to the negative connotations I have in my head about generative AI. However, I do understand that AI is already integrated in practically everything online in some shape or form. When I consider the implications of implementing it as a tool into specifically younger ages (K-5th grade), I feel especially worrisome. That period of time feels crucial for development, and providing a tool that weakly substitutes the individual help that comes from a teacher, in my opinion, dampens the knowledge that should be extracted from school. I'm not sure exactly where to stand because in some contexts it is inevitable, but I fear especially for elementary students and how to navigate teaching them to use AI.
3. I used ChatGPT to generate a lesson plan for that assignment. It was helpful to construct a thorough base for the lesson, but what makes a lesson plan work is that it's tailored to your classroom. I don't think I would change anything if I ever asked it to create a lesson plan. I would take the bones of the plan and add what I thought would work for my classroom.
4. It's hard to envision how to incorporate generate AI into school. Part of me believes it's impossible to do it well, especially with creative subjects. Like I said above, it can be useful in creating a detailed teaching plan, but I think teaching is so individual and requires a passion that generative AI weakens. It would be best to be open with your classroom about your beliefs surrounding it no matter which way you lean due to its increasing relevancy.
