 When designing my website, there were a couple principles I followed when making it. I made the format of each tabs very consistent and similar to one another, in order to not make it confusing, I made it so that navigating through the tabs was easy, giving it both a regular tab menu, plus a table of contents on the home page. The one thing I disliked about this assignment was how once you picked a template for a website, there was very little that would happen if you would try to change it into something else, which did kind of force me into doing a specific topic that was different from the one I wanted. The only time I would probably use a website, and require implementing these skills that I used here, would be if I become a writer, or enter the writing field, and advertise my services and/or works.

I do not use any AI tools when doing work. For starters, the only time I would ever have to use something like AI is for writing. In order for me to improve my skills in writing, I can't use something like AI, which has been known to have very basic mistakes in writing, such as grammar errors or terrible ways to explain things. It's also the same reason why I wouldn't use it for academic works, due to me always avoiding common mistakes that AI can definitely make. 

I've only rarely used ChatGPT, and it was only for in class purposes. One time I used it was to create a class structure that I would use to organize topics that I would then discuss to my students in a high school Creative Writing class. It perfectly structured the different categories and elements that are part of writing. This still doesn't change my view on AI, as I only seeing it be useful in certain cases of assistance, but not as a viable way to do work. 

While AI tools may be of help in creating examples or models to use, I don't think they will enhance the productivity of people. I think that by using AI tools, if they don't come out as desirable as they need to be, they will end up causing people to redo work and slow down even more productivity. This is why I wouldn't use AI to improve my productivity. If I would ever have to use AI when teaching students, it would only be for when I am showing examples to students if I can find enough models that aren't created by AI.

    I loved all of the photos on your banners. I thought they fit your topic so well. I don't have many complaints with the CRAP of your website. However on the Home Page, the table of contents did not match the design of the rest of your site. It feels thrown in last minute. I would say matching your design would significantly improve the look of your site.

My name is Matthew. I was born in Florida. I am a studious student who is majoring in Creative Writing. I like to write stories in my free time and also play video games. My favorite movie is Godzilla: King of the Monsters, my favorite TV show is the Mandalorian, and my favorite video game is Kirby Planet Robobot.  I've used technology before in an educational setting before. In high school, I was given a Chromebook that I took care of four years, where I would do all my academic work on. In college, I have used my tablet to access certain online textbooks. I used my laptop for any assignments that need to be turned in.  There are several things that I would consider personal learning networks, where I have learned or gained experience in that helped me grow both educationally, and as a person. Some of my teachers helped me learn important aspects about writing, and helped me mold my ambitions of pursuing a career involving writing. My parents are also a PLN, as they taught me on h

There are a few ways I can deal with copyright if I was a teacher. Fair use states that I am allowed to use a limited amount of copyrighted works for the sake of educational purposes, such as teaching and research. When students create their own works, they would be able to use things in the public domain, not anything outside of it. I feel as though these ideas are sufficient enough for me and my understanding of copyright.  One issue involving technology implementation that I believe can be a problem is academic dishonesty. I feel the reason this is a prevalent issue is because of how homework is done in college. Most homework, especially those that involves answering a series of questions in sentence format, involves doing a lot of research and checking to make sure they get the right answer, leading to people wanting to save time. A way to solve this is by not having so much homework, or at least questions in homework that demand saying so much when those problems can be answered w

There were a few things I didn't like when I first started using Diigo. I am not a fan of how you have to wait for people to accept the invitation to get into the group, or at the very least, how the website doesn't even bother to let you know when you've been accepted into the group. Another thing I don't like is how, in order to perform certain actions, you are forced to use the Chrome extension. Lastly, I found the place where I can upload whatever link I wanted to be slightly confusing and a bit empty too. I actually found myself enjoying blogging quite a bit. One thing I love about it is how easy it is for me to formulate what to say here, in a way that it is similar to Google Docs, instead of being confusing like Word. I also enjoy how easy it is to send new blogs to my blog page, and how simple it is for me to check out my page without having any real problems. One thing that blogging has taught me that there was a place where I could constantly post updates in c
