Learning Journal 6 WEB Technology Reflection

 I have learned from Module 6

On each one of these technologies AI, AR, and VR are all different in their own way. AI is more for assistant for help on schoolwork. papers, directions, etc. AR (Augmented Reality) is similar to VR but can see things move in the real world rather than you experience it. Can use on visor or phone. VR (Virtual Reality) is experiencing a world feeling so real you don't realize you're in house. It uses a headset to track where you look and can interreact with stuff in VR.

My reflection on AI is that it can be helpful. I used it for the first in one of my classes in college. It is nice that it can help me with almost everything, but I shouldn't rely some much on it. AR, I haven't used this technology yet, but it seems like it can be helpful to see blueprint designers or house and etc. for your job. I don't know how it can help me now but it's cool. VR is awesome I remember the first time I used it and I was mind blowen. It felt so real like I was in another dimension, but it did hurt running into stuff that I forgot in the room. All these technologies are great, but I think VR is my favorite one and the coolest one.


The AI that was the best for me was Co-Pilot. I used Co-Pilot before for my last for my Writing 1 class helping me with my first draft of the arguementive essay. I didn't copy an essay already typed out from Co-Pilot. NO THAT IS CHEATING AND YOU DON'T LEARN ON HOW TO WRITE BETTER!!!😡But I did ask for tips and let it read what I typed to show where to make improvements and the strengths I had typed in essay. Also Co-Pilot thanks me with my name and a happy face and having pictures like checkmarks. Lastly going back to old conversations Co-Pilot had that option and Perplexity I didn't see it anywhere. So, in my opinion Co-Pilot is a great AI tool and I had great conversations with it. 😄👍

Co-Pilot chat conversation I had:

Explain the concept of 3D printing in simple
terms, then provide a more detailed academic
explanation suitable for an undergraduate level
paper
Copilot said:

Here’s a clear breakdown for you:

✅ Simple Explanation

3D printing is like making objects by stacking layers of material on top 

of each other. Instead of cutting or shaping something from a big block, 

a 3D printer builds the object from scratch, layer by layer, using materials 

like plastic, metal, or even food. You start with a digital design, and the 

printer turns that design into a real, physical object.

✅ Undergraduate-Level Academic Explanation

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), refers to a 

set of processes that create three-dimensional objects by sequentially 

depositing material layer by layer, guided by a digital model. Unlike 

subtractive manufacturing, which removes material from a larger block, 

additive manufacturing builds components from the ground up, 

minimizing waste and enabling complex geometries.

The workflow typically involves:

  1. Computer-Aided Design (CAD): A digital 3D model is created using CAD software.
  2. Slicing: The model is converted into thin cross-sectional layers                                                                            using slicing software, generating machine-readable instructions (G-code).
  3. Printing Process: Material is deposited layer by layer. Common technologies include:
    • Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM): Thermoplastic filaments are melted                                                            and extruded.
    • Stereolithography (SLA): Liquid resin is cured using a UV laser.
    • Selective Laser Sintering (SLS): Powdered material is fused using a laser.
  4. Post-Processing: Steps such as support removal, surface finishing, and heat                                                 treatment improve mechanical properties and aesthetics.

Applications span across aerospace, medical implants, automotive, and consumer 

products, driven by advantages like rapid prototyping, customization, and reduced 

material waste. However, limitations include slower production rates compared 

to traditional methods, material constraints, and high initial equipment costs.

Would you like me to expand this into a full academic-style paper (with 

introduction, body, conclusion, and references), or create a structured 

outline for your paper?

You said:
nope that's
all thanks

You’re welcome, Emma! 😊 Glad I could help. If you ever need more explanations, 

outlines, or even a full paper draft, just let me know.


Perplexity conversation I had:

"Provide a list of 5 credible academic sources on 3D printing, including peer-reviewed journal articles, books, and reputable websites. For each source, please provide a summary and its relevance to 3D printing.

WL10 Optimized image
was the most easiest assignment I 
have ever done. Find an image optimize it and post it in Brightspace. I didn't complain though and I like the old photo I choose. It was so ago.

  
Doing the Dream Vacation in Animoto was actually super fun to do. I learned so much about new place😃. I never had a dream vacation idea before just the idea of going somewhere in Italy😀. This was definitely a great assignment to do in this module. All the tools I learned over all the modules Canva, Camtasia, Animoto, & Blogger they were all such great tools I will use for the future😍. One last tool I will learn and use for my final project is Wix. I'm super excited to use it and seeing the examples of the other student's final project I was in shock 😲. They looked like real websites. And I can't wait to get started on using Wix😁.

My participation was great especially doing the Animoto video. The video took me ages to do. I believe an hour or 2 but it was worth it and really fun. This class has been so great, and I expected there to be coding, or I would not enjoy doing this class at all when I first saw the name of class before the first zoom, we had. I don't really see for anymore improvement in participation I will do in the next module. I always do my best in each module and will do for the last and final module # 7.                         🙌
                   😄

Learning Journal 7 WEB Technology Reflection

   I have learned from Module 7 This is the last learning journal in the final module for my Intro to Web Technology class. By using WIX to make a one-page website was easy but also overwhelming at first until I saw  all 9 lessons on using WIX . It was actually really fun and really cool to make my own first website. Now I have a final project to finish yay!!! NOT excited to read information in the sites.    🙁😑😒 WL12 - Website I made Also  learning more  on  good   and  bad websites design  was  really  interesting. The one link  in  slideshow part 1  Coolors.co- color palette generator   on viewing colors is so fun and most of the  color combinations  were pretty. Especially looking at them colorblind eyes sometimes.           My Discussion Post   (Can also click on picture to go to Discussion 7 Good and Poor Web Design) Colors Non-Colorblind ...

Learning Journal 1 WEB Technology Reflection

I have learned from Module 1 I used Canva for my presentation on an internet topic of 5G Technology.  5G by Emma Niver On the history on the Internet: World Wide Web is a place for all users to share, search info, etc. The timeline on when each app was created About each creator who created a media app   By figuring out how the class works we did one zoom meeting for the syllabus. Then getting into a module with assignments and prerecorded videos for us to watch. Some trouble I had was trying to find time to finish the assignments in the module on top of my other classes. As I keep using Brightspace it has become easier to navigate my assignments, classes, tests, etc. For reminders I will get notifications from my phone for the pulse app, Gmail, and writing it down on my planner for assignments. I can also look for reminders on my laptop as well. I found helpful for finding information for my Canva presentation was the websites I used = History on 5G Technology A...

Learning Journal 4 WEB Technology Reflection

  I have learned from Module 4 About how to google search like a pro, spot out fake news, & learning a little on the dark web. By learning how to search like a pro I watched many videos in the slideshow, it really made me learn how to search better. Learning on the dark web I watch this video from the slideshow.  I also learned on the  other webs from this picture . Media Literacy Break the Fake Quiz Spot out fake news is still difficult for me, but this module made me learn how to spot fake news better. I played this quiz and watch two videos from slideshow  to help me understand better. We also did a discussion which made me understand how I would  use this knowledge to the real world and how to understand how fake news can affect people. People that are close to you can be tricked by fake news, friends , teachers , etc .     My muddiest point in this module was the WL 5 + 7 . I had a tricky time with them, needed some help on those assignments...
