 I’d show faculty how tech tools like virtual cooking classes and recipe management software can improve teaching and how it will enhance the current lesson plans. I’d ensure students see how tech can make learning more engaging and help prepare them for the culinary world while listening to their feedback to ensure it works for them. Administrators would get the benefits of tech on student outcomes and efficiency, and I’d work with IT to ensure everything runs smoothly and securely.

Integrative learning includes the availability for students to explore information on the content to fully learn and understand it through analysis and reflection.  Being able to widen parameters for learning helps students to better understand the concepts.  I intend to work on making sure I am creating wider parameters for students to help them better understand the information so they can analyze and reflect on their learning.   

This module discussed the importance of critical thinking and ways the teacher can foster critical thinking within students.  Teachers can create a safe environment where students can ask questions and answer questions.  It is important for teachers to support and encourage when students ask, "Why?"  Another way to support critical thinking is for teachers to create FIRE questions.  These include, factual thinking, insightful thinking, rational questions, and evaluative questions that help to increase student exploration and discovery.  I intend to create FIRE questions to help my students think critically on the content in the classroom.

Expanding content can be done by including problem-solving, group project building activities, and analyzing potential changes in the content.  The application cycle is a 3 way pie chart that includes the student, teacher/content, and application/assessment of knowledge.  They key is to make the learning engaging.  Using simulations provides was for students to complete practical training.  In the career center aviation course, there are VR aviation simulators where students can actively engage in the flying process by simulating being inside of a cockpit.  I intend to continue to provide ways for students to complete real-life projects and challenges in various ways… >>>

This module provides information about engagement types.  Applied engagement includes instrumental and communicative methods where instrumental is task-oriented, solving problems, and cause and effect relationships, communicative regards feelings, needs, and desires.  I learned that it is important for the instructor to provide the context, but allow students to explore the applications.  As a student, I grew up with mostly traditional learning, so it is more difficult for me to step outside of that traditional way of learning.  I intend to work more toward customized learning options for my students in a non-linear format so my students can learn in ways… >>>

ChatGPT has been shown to be very useful for students. They are also aware of the limitations in using the feature. 

I am glad to see the concerns educators have with using chatGPT are already identified concerns of the tool. It is essential that educators follow up with students to ensure accuracy of their submissions, as well as ensuring they have a true understanding of the use of the tool. 

I learned the many features of using chapGPT

There are many benefits to using AI. I was unaware that there was a difference between open AI and others. 

This module provided information on learning technologies.  One of the methods used to assess student learning is the e-portfolio.  Students may be required to create an e-portfolio and include project information and a reflection throughout their courses.  This not only allows for the student to showcase their work, but it allows for the instructor to evaluate the student's understanding through their work and through their reflection of what they learned.  I intend to incorporate the use of e-portfolios with my students and to better evaluate the current program curriculum based on gaps in the information and content.
