Working on the Web Design assignment taught me valuable skills in creating visually appealing and user-friendly websites. I applied design principles such as consistency, ensuring that each page had a uniform color scheme and font style to create a cohesive look. I also used the principle of visual hierarchy by making headings bold and larger to draw attention, while keeping body text smaller for readability. I really enjoyed the creative freedom this project offered, allowing me to experiment with layouts and color palettes, but I found inputting certain elements to be challenging at times. These website design skills will be incredibly useful in my future career, as I can apply them to create professional portfolios, educational resources, or even wellness blogs that promote health and exercise.

    Hi Cassie! I loved your website. In terms of CRAP, I thought everything worked very well. The alignment was organized and the proximity wasn't messy at all. One note on the contrast. Everything was great but I personally thought on the main page, it was a little hard to read "Welcome to Ms.Hiatt's 9th Grade Biology Class" against the background. It just kind of blends too much together in my opinion. Great job on this assignment!

    Your site looks awesome! I really like how the bold headers and colors stand out. The whole thing feels super put-together because you kept the same style throughout, which shows good repetition. Everything lines up nicely, so it's easy on the eyes, and the way you group related stuff makes it really simple to find things. You did great!

After participating in this week’s Graded Discussion Activity, I have gained a deeper understanding of the advantages and limitations of using generative AI tools like ChatGPT for searching information. One of the main benefits I see is how AI can summarize complex topics quickly, providing a clear and concise answer without requiring me to sift through multiple links. This makes it a valuable tool for efficiency, especially when I need direct answers or explanations. However, I also recognize some concerns, such as the potential for AI to generate outdated or biased information, as it does not always provide direct sources for verification. While AI tools offer a more conversational and user-friendly experience, I am hesitant to completely replace Google with AI for all my searches. Traditional search engines allow me to cross-reference multiple sources and access primary data, which is important for academic research or fact-checking. Additionally, AI-generated responses may not alwa...

Using generative AI tools for lesson plan design was an insightful experience, as it demonstrated how AI can streamline the planning process and provide creative ideas that I may not have initially considered. One of the biggest benefits I see in using AI for lesson planning is its ability to generate structured outlines and differentiated activities quickly, saving valuable time for educators. However, I do have concerns about over-reliance on AI, as it may lead to a lack of personal touch or critical thinking in designing lessons that meet the unique needs of students. Despite this, I would consider using AI in my future instruction as a supplementary tool to enhance my plans, but I would always review and modify the content to ensure it aligns with my teaching goals and student needs. Beyond lesson plan design, I envision using generative AI in other teaching practices, such as providing feedback on student work, creating engaging classroom materials, and developing personalized le...
