Experimental learning sounds very Montessori based. I think you'd have to have a certain level of dedication and drive for this model to be successful. I'm not sure that all students are disciplined enough for this model to ensure they learn all that they need to learn.

I like that with cooperative learning, grades are to be individual and group based. I do not know many people who really love a group project, but having been in leadership, I absolutely know how imperative it is to learn to work with people towards a common goal even when you don't all love each other! I think it is an essential professional life social skill to learn to get along when you don't feel like getting along.

We use reflection a lot with our nursing students. We teach them one way of doing things and when they have clinicals on the floor, they may see RNs doing things very different from how we taught them or even doing exactly what we told students not to do. Reflection is important in putting together the why of why we teach them an evidenced based practice method and why this really is best practice. It is important for students to think about how what they are learning applies to (or maybe doesn't apply) to the real world.

I like that this module talks about providing choice for adult learners. We always have multiple activities available so we can choose which will be most effective given what the students feel like doing and the mood of the classroom.

One key insight I've gained is the importance of utilizing various digital tools that facilitate collaboration and information sharing. Platforms like Google Drive, Trello, and Notion allow teams to work together seamlessly, regardless of their physical location. This fosters a more dynamic and inclusive learning environment where diverse perspectives can thrive.

I also learned that organizing information systematically can enhance retention and understanding. Tools such as mind mapping software or digital notebooks can help break down complex topics into manageable parts, making it easier to grasp and remember.

My college is using a form of Turn-it-in to check for chatGPT plagiarism. The problem we have encountered is that various plagiarism checkers grade the same paper very differently. I think chatGPT is a great resource for students but they will have to be very careful about plagiarism and be prepared to verbally back up the information in their papers to support that they really did research the topic and know about the topic.

I like the idea of using chat gpt to help with recommendation letters. I always have trouble getting started, then once I do the process is fine and quick. I think utilizing chat GPT will help me  not dread the getting started quite as much and help me no longer procrastinate when it comes to this task.

I think ChatGpt would be useful in facilitating efficiency of research as it can pour through thousands of pages of data in a relatively short period of time.

I have learned about different ways to incorporate technology in my classroom and how to develop my own skills and learning to create better environment for my students to learn.

I think using chatGPT as a writing prompt generator would be really interesting. I also think it is interesting that it would be recommended to be helpful with mental health in that it can reflect empathy and "act as a companion." I feel like there have been so many sci-fi scenarios written about the complications of this very scenario!
