Gratitude can change a person's attitude and outlook about themselves and others. Although this may be understood by people not everyone practices it. The practice of gratitude is where the best results can be obtained. 

I recently had a conversation with a friend that works in the energy sector, specifically he is a high ranking IT professional and we discussed the topic of data centers and their incredible energy needs. This inspired me to learn more about AI. This past module spoke of the processing chips and efforts that are being made to make the processes more efficient. From what my friend described, Data Centers operate as their very own Power Plants, but when the surrounding grid demands more power, these centers are required by law to provide it. I am eager to learn more.… >>>

Advancements and breakthroughs in AI will revolutionize human civilization, however ironclad safeguards and protections must be built into it in order to prevent negative or undesirable outcomes that stem from such a powerful technology.

what I liked about AI is introducing techniques to help those students who have difficulties in learning subjects being thought.

I feel that I'm teaching critical thinking by not providing the "answers" to the students when they are building something, but make them struggle through it a bit. But, that doesn't always work for the less strong critical thinkers. I like the suggestions that can help develop those skills for example, the chart discussed where the ihe instructor creates three charts entitled: “What I Know,” “What I Want to Know,” and “What I Learned.” These charts are hung on the wall and the students then write on the charts based on their knowledge. This scaffolding is a great idea.

I learned a lot of new strategies to help me be a better instructor and to be more positive in motivating students.

Focus on students' strengths and ways to showcase them.

Focus more on accomplishments and things students are good at.

Teacher-driven growth can help foster camaraderie, collaboration, productivity, and teamwork within a school organization.  When teachers feel empowered, they are more likely to be proactive and engaged in developing their approaches to teaching...and connecting with the youth.  Also, the PLC can be an environment and framework for teachers to be inspired to be innovative, creative and willing to try new approaches to their teaching methods.  When teachers lead, teachers can feel like they're being heard by their administration.  Trust is then strengthened, and a unified vision can be nurtured and supported.

Stay positive!!!
