In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, staying informed is key to making effective decisions in education. Informed decision-making ensures that educators are aware of the latest tools, resources, and innovations, enabling them to choose solutions that are inclusive, relevant, and tailored to diverse learning needs. By selecting the most impactful technologies, educators can create more engaging and effective learning experiences that truly support both their students and their schools.

In my AI blog assignments, I explored the use of chatbots in education and reflected on the potential of AI-powered tools to enhance communication and learning. Initially, I approached the task with curiosity and skepticism, but soon found that chatbots could effectively clarify concepts, provide quick information, and generate creative input. While I felt confident in the chatbot’s responses, I recognized the importance of cross-referencing its output with credible sources to ensure accuracy. The effectiveness of the chatbot depended on how well I crafted my prompts, with more specific inquiries leading to better results. I also identified opportunities to improve my use of chatbots by asking targeted questions, supplementing responses with external research, and encouraging students to critically evaluate AI-generated information. Overall, the assignments opened my eyes to the future of AI in education and its potential for supporting both teaching and learning.
