I will answer the following question:

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.

By learning how of navigate through EduBlog, understanding its features, and utilizing its tools, I have empowered my self to use this site a lot more often. This newfound capability not only enhances my ability to publish and manage blog posts but also opens doors for more possibilities when it comes to projects. Also, by learning about digital platforms like Edublogs, I was able to have more confidence when it comes to learning about digital knowledge.

BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING

A.I. Generated

Biomedical engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines principles of engineering and biology to develop innovative solutions for healthcare. It involves the application of engineering concepts to design medical devices, diagnostic tools, and therapies aimed at improving human health. Biomedical engineers work on a wide range of projects, from prosthetics and medical imaging technologies to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. They collaborate with healthcare professionals and scientists to address complex medical challenges and enhance patient care. Overall, biomedical engineering plays a crucial role in advancing medical technology, improving treatment options, and ultimately, enhancing the quality of life for individuals worldwide.

Biomedical engineering is a field of study which is a blend of science and engineering. It using science and technology to come up with solutions for a variety of healthcare problems. Some of the inventions in the field are Bionics, X-Rays and Defribulators. Biomedical engineering is a rapidly advancing field with notable advancements like cloning and gene therapy making recent headlines. An example of cloning was when Biomedical engineers were successfully able to produce a white sheep from a black sheep mother by cloning its genes. Some hopeful aspirations in the field are, being able to use devices like CRISPR to remove genes that carry hereditary diseases and being bale to clone a human. People have raised concerns over the ethics of the field claiming that editing someone else’s genes and physically changing the DNA of their body’s is unethical.

Questions:

• • What was your experience in using AI? 
• I used Chat GPT and i found it scary to think that without paying any money you can have this all knowing genie at your fingertips to do practically anything.
  • Was the paragraph the AI generated accurate? Fact-check any new information and see if it’s true.
• The paragraph was accurate however it was rather vague and a bit repetitive. Mine was more specific and engaging.
  • Was the exercise useful? How can this help you with your learning going forward?
• I did find the exercise useful because i think that there is a way that A.I. can be used by students to help their learning. For example it could generate a custom set of questions for the student based on their weaknesses in that unit.
  • Were your results expected? Yes or No? ExplainThey were expected in the sense that i knew i was going to get a well written paragraph in seconds but what was not expected is that it would be so easy and free.

Chinese spy balloon gathered intelligence from sensitive U.S. military sites

First I found a source that reported on the story…

Then I did a search on the Source (NBC) on Wikipedia and found it to be a credible news source…

Next I searched the story on Snopes and it said the story was true…

Finally I searched the Web for similar articles and many came up…

In Conclusion, this story was completely True and very shocking.

For TOKTWD I went with my mother to her office. She works for the Government of Canada, Program Delivery. However, she works from home, so I suppose I didn’t really go anywhere except a different room in my house.

Here are my answers to the questions asked about Nov 1st

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

During my workday experience I heard my mother in a Bilateral meeting to discuss workload management, and a meeting with one of the Program Officers on her Team regarding Budget revisions for an organization. I saw my mother’s work from home set-up which included 2 monitors, a computer, a keyboard, a mouse, and a work phone. I smelt coffee in the morning, and salad when she was on her lunch break. I felt curious to learn about how her set up improves her performance at work. 

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

Given that I would be working from home, the fact that my office is right there and not far away would help to motivate me to get up in the mornings. I would get up get ready for the day and waltz right into my office all within 10 steps. I would not need to drive or take transit to get to the office.  would not need to step outside in the frigid winter. I could sleep more and get already be home at the end of the day. That is why I think that working from home is the way to go for all businesses. 

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

Because I would be working from home, that means that I do not have to physically be in the workplace. This could cause a problem because you may think “No one can see me! I can stay in my PJ’s!!” Which we have all heard of before (let’s be honest). That could cause me to be less productive during the day. You also might want to get ahead with personal matters around the house and do those while you are “at work”. 

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

I find it interesting that my mother can work at home and get stuff done through all the distractions of life and family. Especially considering that right now, my family and I are living in an RV until we move into our new house, so things are tight. Everyone hears and sees everything. Which means when my mother is in a meeting, my father and I must be silent. Even still, she manages to complete everything at work, be in meetings, make me breakfast, plan our lives and deal with personal matters. She really is the ultimate multitasker.
