What tools did you find useful in your explorations this week and how did you use them? Which ones were not useful?

Recently, I have heard a lot of discussions about artificial intelligence tools, and last week I learned about AI-related knowledge and tried using several tools. I tried using ChatGPT to search for a game introduction to help me remember the game process, which can assist me in thinking about related issues in my video game class. I also came across the issue mentioned in class. When I asked ChatGPT to find a few articles for me, it would fabricate an article that meets the requirements, including its introduction and URL. When I tried to confirm it with ChatGPT, it would admit that it was incorrect. Here is my experience using ChatGPT.

What might you use AI tools for moving forward? What would you not use them for?

For short analytical and computational problems, I believe using artificial intelligence tools is feasible as it can help us save time and increase our work efficiency. However, for questions that require our own thinking, I would not choose to use it. I believe we should not let AI replace our own thinking.

Storytelling

Through this week’s learning, I have discovered that storytelling is a highly effective teaching method. It can make learners more interested in the content and more focused on the subject matter. I would like to use this method to share my knowledge about how to use film cameras that I have learned this semester. Below is my script:

After setting up the film camera, the next step is to use the camera to take photos until the entire roll of film is used up. For my photos, I used a Jellycat toy as the subject.

Once the photos have been taken, it’s time to develop them in the classroom. The first step is to put the film in a completely opaque bag and roll it up before placing it in a black bucket. Next, two chemical solutions provided by the teacher are used to develop the film. After about half an hour of processing, the film is rinsed, dried, and blown dry. Finally, the photos are cut to the desired size and put into a bag. These are the basic steps for using a film camera.

Here is my storyboard:
