Coast Salish Art Blog Post

Here are my pictures:

Thinking about creating this piece of digital art and the Edublog posts, how have your digital knowledge and skills improved this year? Be specific and give at least one example.

Creating digital art and maintaining Edublog posts this year have significantly improved my digital knowledge and skills. At the beginning of the year, I was not too familiar with digital tools and my knowledge was very vague. I mainly only knew how to edit and create things using simple tools that are provided with whatever program I am using. However, after practicing and doing DL assignments, I have learned how to use some more complex tools and I am much more familiar with Edublog. One specific example of my improvement is when I had to create my coast Salish art hummingbird. If I had been given this assignment earlier on in the year, I would have most certainly made many mistakes and I would have not known how to use concepts that were taught in person. To add on, writing and formatting Edublog posts has improved my abilities in online creation. I learned how to embed media into my posts, add permalinks, and make my work more look more appealing. I also learned how to fact check my information and how to avoid Copyright issues. This course has made me more confident with my abilities and has helped me learn more about technology and social media.

Information Fluency Paragraph

My paragraph

ChatGPT is a successful that leads the future of AI unknown. It could be used for better and for worse, so it is important to be cautious while you use it. AI was originally used to help movie productions but has shifted towards helping everyday people. OpenAI released a beta version of ChatGPT, and it is a chatbot that uses variants of transformer architecture to generate human-like text. It can be used to help the government, save time and resources and it creates high-quality written content without wasting money or resources. However, it is important to note that it is not a replacement for human writers since it lacks creativity, critical, and empathetical thinking. ChatGPT has taken over by storm and it is our future. 

AI-generated paragraph

ChatGPT is an advanced AI language model developed by OpenAI, designed to generate human-like text based on the input it receives. It assists us by providing quick and accessible information, automating repetitive tasks, enhancing productivity through content generation, and offering personalized assistance and language translation. However, it also has limitations, such as sometimes delivering inaccurate or outdated information and lacking deep contextual understanding. Ethical concerns, including privacy issues and potential biases, also pose challenges. Additionally, reliance on AI can lead to skill degradation and job displacement in certain sectors. Balancing these benefits and drawbacks is essential for effectively leveraging AI technologies like ChatGPT in our daily lives. As AI continues to evolve, ongoing efforts to improve its accuracy and fairness will be crucial. Embracing responsible AI usage can maximize its positive impact while mitigating potential risks.

TOKTWD

On TOKTWD, I went to work with my dad. My dad works in the construction industry, and he owns a construction company for luxury homes. At the moment, my dad is working on a custom house for a client. The house is almost done since he has been working on it for a couple of years now. When I was there, there wasn’t anything planned for that day since the plumber had canceled the week before. Instead, we were just focused on working on the little things, and we were trying to connect the TV to the Wi-Fi without the TV shutting down. We were able to connect the TV to the Wi-Fi, and it didn’t end up shutting down. My dad was also working on a bench swing for the sundeck, and it was left unfinished in the garage. I helped him build the rest of it and then we carried it to the sundeck

This picture was taken when the TV was connected to Wi-Fi.

This was a picture taken at the entrance of the house.

1. What did you hear, see, smell, and feel in the work environment on Nov. 1st?

There was not much to hear other than people communicating. After talking with my dad, he told me today was a very slow day since they didn’t really have much planned and how other days of the week had more commotion. Before stepping into the house, I could see that it would be a very luxurious living establishment. t was very well-lit, constructed, and organized. The house isn’t finished yet so there isn’t any furniture in the house, but I can tell it will look very cozy soon. As I said earlier, today was a slow day and there wasn’t much going on, so the only thing I was able to smell was wet paint that has been drying for a couple of days now. I felt kind of powerful since my dad was a boss and sometimes, he would tell me to tell his employees what to do.

2. What about the environment would motivate you to wake up every day to attend work?

The environment that has been created feels very uplifting and comfortable, I would feel motivated to wake up every day and attend work here since everybody around was very nice. Knowing that the house will look very good in the end is a deal breaker as well. There is also a big market for luxury houses now, so their paychecks are big, which is a big plus.

3. What about the work environment would discourage you from waking up every day to attend work?

When my dad was giving me a tour of the house, one of his workers was trying to turn on the television but it kept disconnecting and the connection was very sensitive. This means that not everything goes the way you want it to and lots of things can go wrong. If there are small miscommunications, a lot of things can get messed up, such as the schedule, maybe one day you need someone to work on something and you schedule them for a Tuesday and you schedule someone else to work on what they worked on the day after. If the person you scheduled for Tuesday doesn’t show up or thought they were scheduled for the next Tuesday, there’s nothing for the person after them to do and everything just doesn’t go according to plan.

4. What is ONE thing you found interesting about your workplace visit?

One thing I found interesting about my workplace is all the new and advanced perks and tricks the house has. For example, this may sound a little funny, but there was a hovering toilet. Another example is the showers/baths that have massagers built in, which is very nice. My last example is a built-in coffee maker, which I have never seen before.
