BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

A matter of common sense, not of intelligence!!


 

How smart are you? If you are really smart and you are a student, you should not use any of these AI apps because they don't develop your skills.

Here are some articles for you to read about the issue:

Either DeepSeek or ChatGPT (On the road to PERFECTION!!) make amazing projects, but they also make dummy students, so the use of these ICT tools is not sensible at all!!
 

Can 'ancient' be considered an extreme adjective? I don't see it myself, but it can be in contexts like these: "in the old times" (en los viejos tiempos) //  "in ancient times" ( en tiempos ancestrales). 

Here are some links for you to check and come to a conclusion: EXTREME ADJECTIVES  1  2  3  4

  1. ChatGPT and other Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools can be very helpful when studying. They can help you find the meaning of words, explain difficult concepts, or give you ideas for writing. For example, if you don’t understand a word in your English homework, you can ask ChatGPT, and it will give you a clear definition. This can save you time and help you learn new vocabulary.

    However, there are also some bad aspects. If you use AI to do all your homework, you won’t learn anything. It’s important to think for yourself and try to solve problems on your own. If you always use ChatGPT for answers, you won't learn anything and then in the exams it will be much more difficult for you because you haven't practised with the exercises that your teacher sent you .

    In conclusion, AI can be a great tool for studying if you use it correctly. It’s good for searching for words or understanding difficult topics, but it shouldn’t replace your own work. Use it to learn, not to cheat!

  2. My favorite sport is dancing, it is a sport that I really like since I was little. I have done various types of dance, such as ballet, flamenco, hip hop and now I am in urban dance. I have been doing urban dance for 3 years and it is something that I love.

  3. I agree with you,Albert,I think the use of Chat GPT or others,is bad for learning in students,we should use It for better things, it's good as a help,but people shouldn't use It for doing their homework or use It for something wicked,I Hope people changes their habits and stop using Chat GPT as their Solution of doing their Homework.

  4. I think social media can be very fun but also dangerous. You should be careful with what you post because people might use it in a bad way. Also, you mustn't believe everything you see, a lot of things are fake.
    Some people may feel bad because they compare their life with others, but we have to remember that not everything is real. In my opinion, we could use social media in a good way if we don't spend too much time on it and if we are respectfull with others.

  5. Hello,
    Today I’m going to talk about AI apps.
    I don’t use AI apps because they are bad for students learning, people use these apps for doing their homework, but later people don’t learn anything.

  6. My opinion about the AI.
    The artificial inteligence can be very usefull for everything. For students, it can help to search the meaning of some words or an explanation about something you don't understand. Also you can learn some new vocabulary.
    Also it can have a bad aspects, if you use AI for everything, your brain won't work enough. It is an easier to find an explanation on the computer that triying to think about it.
    In my opinion, you should use the AI in an intelligent way, not to resolve all the problems but just to help you.
