SC.2.TI.2.1, which focuses on teaching students to assess whether written or visual information is accurate, is one of the Florida standards embracing technology. This standard, which will go into effect in the 2025–2026 school year, aims to teach second graders how to evaluate information critically by teaching them that digital media, including photographs, can be altered. For example, students can examine whether a digitally changed image of a mythical monster is real or phony, emphasizing the value of validating information from diverse sources. I feel partially prepared to apply this standard based on my existing skill set because it calls for basic digital literacy and critical thinking abilities, which I can handle. It could be helpful, though, to increase my acquaintance with more sophisticated media literacy techniques.


I discovered a computerized learning-focused lesson plan in the CPALMS Educator Toolkit. Students can investigate artificial intelligence (AI) in this lesson by teaching a machine learning model to identify items, which develops their problem-solving and computer science skills. This resource could be particularly beneficial in helping students comprehend how AI mimics human learning, which is relevant in today’s increasingly digital environment. Using this resource, I could see myself using science, math, and technology in interesting ways while incorporating computational thinking into regular classes.


Teachers need to know how to search the internet well in order to obtain correct and timely information quickly. I think that employing sophisticated search operators, one of the techniques covered this week, will be very helpful in the future for filtering results and locating particular resources. In addition, I make use of domain credibility evaluation, which was not specifically discussed but is essential when utilizing internet resources in the classroom.


Regarding artificial intelligence (AI) in education, I believe it has the ability to completely transform the K–12 setting by automating administrative processes, delivering immediate feedback, and enabling tailored learning experiences. But when we integrate AI into the classroom, it's important to make sure that students utilize it responsibly and are aware of its limitations.
