This is such a great point! Don’t stop learning new things!
Are kids better with technology than adults, or is technology so much easier than it was when we were kids?
When I was a kid, we had an Apple II C & I remember how much I loved that computer. But I also remember how hard it was to use & all that you had to know to be able to make it do things at the time.
My brother & I would play games like LodeRunner, but we also had to learn how to do some types of programming to make the computer work. I had to learn a lot to be able to utilize this tool.
Fast forward to my first iPhone.
Do you remember reading that paper instruction manual when you got your first SmartPhone?
Probably not, because there wasn’t one.
The iPhone was made so easy to use that an instruction manual wasn’t needed. That was the point. How could a technology be brought to the masses that would be able to do many things with very little thinking?
Now with conversations regarding AI & its capabilities, we have to balance utilizing these technologies while also focusing on our ability to learn.
I think about all of the inquiries I receive about making these videos.
I wonder if it is someone who would actually go in & edit these videos, or is it someone who’s probably just using AI & streamlining the process & doing this in less time than I am because they are benefitting from my lack of knowledge.
That is why I have decided to spend more time editing my own videos. I want to know how to do it & the process behind it.
Obviously, even with things like captioning & editing, some AI is being utilized, but I wanted to learn how to do as much of this on my own as possible.
I know there are faster ways, but I also have a certain pride in knowing how to do these things myself.
I like learning & want to get better at it.
Is this something we install in our kids? Is it something we embody ourselves?
There are so many things that we can use in our lives that can save time. But those same things can take away our own curiosity, wonder, & discipline for learning.
I am not saying don’t use AI.
I am saying do not allow it to take away your curiosity & your ability to learn.
Information can change, but the ability to learn is something that will last forever.
We have the coolest art teacher!!
.@LPSFranklinElem art teacher Melissa Allshouse was chose to design a heart for the next round of Parade of Hearts. She brought her heart to school so students can see what she's working on. She's also teaching her classes about giving back to the community. #ShareTheGoodLPS

Our class took on the one word challenge this year, and they knocked it out of the park with their words! We had many thoughtful conversations about who we want to be in the year 2024 and how our words can guide us. #onewordchallenge @LPSFranklinElem
