My personal reflections of this workshop are the following; I really enjoyed this program because I really learnt a lot about digital tools in the pedagogical context. These tools that we have seen during the semester really helped me to understand artificial intelligence, on how to use it, the advantages and disadvantages. It was really cool the workshout that we did with the other headquarters of the university around the country. It was very nice because it was helpful to develop teamwork with people that you never had worked with.

Talking about some work that I have done for this workshop I am really glad for the presentation that I have done about learning styles with artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence (AI) enhances personalized learning by adapting educational content to each student’s pace, strengths, and challenges. It analyzes learning data to create customized paths, track progress, and provide tailored feedback. By identifying individual needs in real time, AI can adjust difficulty levels, simplify content for struggling learners, or add complexity to keep advanced students engaged. This approach fosters a student-centered experience, improving engagement and facilitating effective learning outcomes.

Here is it so you can see my presentation:

Another activity was one that we had to do by applying the TPACK model for an activity for school students. So first what is the TPACK model? The TPACK model (Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge) describes the integration of technology into teaching. It highlights three core areas: Technological Knowledge (TK) focuses on the tools used, Pedagogical Knowledge (PK) involves teaching strategies, and Content Knowledge (CK) relates to the subject matter. Effective teaching combines these areas to create meaningful and innovative learning experiences. The activity that I did was the following; The activity uses Quizlet to enhance descriptive writing. Teachers introduce vocabulary through explicit instruction and Quizlet flashcards. Students practice vocabulary, write a descriptive paragraph using at least five new words, and engage in peer review. This integrates pedagogy (explicit instruction), technology (Quizlet), and content (descriptive vocabulary).

This workshop provided a valuable learning experience by combining digital tools with pedagogical strategies. I gained insights into artificial intelligence, its applications, and its impact on personalized learning. Collaborative activities, like working with peers from different university headquarters, enhanced teamwork skills. Highlights included my presentation on learning styles with AI and applying the TPACK model through a Quizlet-based activity for descriptive writing. Overall, the program successfully integrated technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge, enriching my teaching approach and professional growth.

Activity: Descriptive Writing Using Vocabulary from Quizlet

Pedagogy (PK):

• Explicit vocabulary instruction: Begin by introducing key vocabulary words related to descriptive writing (e.g., words about texture, color, shape, size).

Technology (TK):

• Quizlet:
  • Create a set of flashcards with the vocabulary students need for descriptive writing (e.g., shiny, rough, enormous, swiftly, brilliantly

Procedure:

1. Introduction (10 minutes): Introduce descriptive writing and explain why using rich vocabulary is important.
2. Vocabulary Introduction (10 minutes): Introduce the key vocabulary words, explaining their meanings and usage in sentences.
3. Quizlet Practice (15 minutes):
   • Share the Quizlet set with students and have them practice the vocabulary using the flashcards and games.
   • Monitor progress through Quizlet’s activity tracking feature.
4. Writing Task (25 minutes): Students write a descriptive paragraph about a topic of their choice (e.g., “My Favorite Place” or “A Mysterious Object”) using at least five words from the Quizlet set.
5. Peer Review (10 minutes): In pairs, students read each other’s paragraphs and check if they used the vocabulary correctly, giving constructive feedback.

Well we’re again for the second time, the international faculty activity of two weeks has ended, and I must say I really have learned a lot of things about artificial intelligence. For example we as a future teacher we need to use AI very carefully because it’s a very good tool to use as a teacher (helping with organize classes, create tests, and quizzes or create rubrics) but at the same time AI might be used in a bad way since it might give bad answers or not information or doesn’t give the complete information of something.

Like I said in the first session post on my blog, I really liked this activity because we had worked with the others students of the univeristy in differents cities like Santiago and Concepcion. For me working with other people that I don´t know is good since I can work on my shyness as the fact that I’m going to be teacher I need to get rid of that shyness so it’s was very good for me.

Another thing I want to mention is that during these two weeks, I also realized how important it is to stay updated with technology as a future teacher. We can’t ignore the fact that students will probably know more about certain tools than us, and we need to be prepared for that. It was really cool to see how some of my classmates were already using AI for their assignments or projects, and it made me think that we should never stop learning. I mean, the world is changing fast, and if we don’t adapt, we could fall behind. So yeah, this whole experience opened my eyes to how much responsibility we have as future educators.

Here are some of the best AI tools that you can use:

Well, I think that thanks to this activity of this monday twenty-three of September was quite interesting, because I learned more things about artificial intelligence. I learned about this website called “Magic School” that is about artificial intelligence with tools to help teachers and educators doing activities, tests, quizzes. It also can help to organize classes, rubrics, etc as a personal take I think I’m going to use it in the future to help me in this program and to finish this program also.

This activity was quite fun because we had the chance to work alongside the others campus from Santiago and Concepcion, it’s always fun to work with new people talking from myself. I’m really glad that we had the chance to listen and learn with an expert on artificial intelligence and learn more about it and not only using the most normal one that is chatgpt.

One of the most important aspects of using artificial intelligence in education is its potential to adapt learning to the individual needs of students. For those who will be working with children, this is particularly valuable as AI algorithms can help identify each student’s strengths and weaknesses and provide personalized resources. This not only eases the teacher’s workload but also allows children to learn at their own pace, making the educational process more inclusive and effective.
