IT 442 Standard 2 Leader by Danika Logdahl

PebbleGo

PebbleGo had key icons that were simply correlated to each tab, it had a speak feature that read each tab out loud, and pictures to help students who may not be strong readers still be able to learn from each slide. There were also options to change the language from English to Spanish (I wonder how this resource reaches students who speak a different language?). There are many resources where students can learn about overall health, emotions, and disabilities. There are also games to check for understanding in an engaging way and in each topic, there is a video attached to the section, so that students who have a low reading level can watch a video to gain the same information.

Artificial Intelligence-2nd grade

In this 2nd grade article, the vocabulary is basic and age-appropriate, the sentences are short and with very basic examples of punctuation. The concepts are easy to understand and this article breaks the ideas down that would be easy for 2nd graders to research/find out more information about (World Wildlife Fund, Mexico's National Commission of Protected Natural Areas).

Voice Typing

This picked up my voice better when my computer was lifted a bit! The punctuation and new line worked but emojis did not work. Voice typing could help students who have a difficult time with spelling or typing, or teachers could use it during lessons to reach students who are hard of hearing or students who learn better by reading about concepts.

Google Translate

I tried both the voice option where you can have a conservation with someone and have your words immediately translated and the feature where you can hover over words using your phone camera to have them translated and these features are revolutionary for classrooms and just people's lives. In a classroom where an interpreter might not be available for student(s), these features would be so helpful for a teacher to be able to reach those students who do not speak any English or speak low levels of English.

OSPI Standard

This gave me a checklist of things that could be done in 3rd grade to meet learning standard 2. I think that these are all interesting and engaging ideas for students to do in order to learn more about each topic that standard 2 discusses.

Chat GPT

I asked ChatGPT to show me multiple resources to introduce the arts for elementary students and the resources were much more interesting and fun to explore! I would have loved to find more information about the arts, as in theater, music, and dance, but I think that these resources are a great way to get young students interested in design and the arts.

Epic

This "read to me" feature was so cool! The book lit up as the reader read each word, so that students would be able to follow along really easily. There are speed options, zoom options, etc. and this tool was super cool. Looking around the website, there were so many books that kids could listen to and have read to them. I think this resource would be so wonderful in a classroom of young readers.

I noticed that there were multiple different ways that students could receive information (pictures, words, audio) for each function, the text was large and easy for young readers to see, and there were multiple topics to choose from her students to learn about and/or become more interested in.

Artificial Intelligence-5th grade

logdahd — 2025-04-26 19:09:15 UTC

In this 5th grade text leveling example from the 2nd grade article, the vocabulary is somewhat similar to that in the original article, but there are longer sentences and less instances of singular statements because 5th graders should be able to break down ideas in a longer sentences, rather than needing to have each idea broken down sentence by sentence. I thought it was interesting to see how these articles do not change very much from grade to grade, but there are small changes to adjust to the reading level of each grade.
