      <title>That's so funny how you said you hate both of these classes. It reminds me of my elementary kids. Well just know that August 9th, we'll be finished with most of the work. You got this!</title>

      <title>Hi Humayra, we are both in the same science class and Yes, I was in the zoom call when you said you got to 128! For some reason, I knew you would break the record. I don't know why but I expected you to win. Hmm </title>

      <title>I think a problem I would like to dig deeper in is how to connect a problem to a student. I mean not every lesson can be fixed with a current problem that students can relate to. What can we use to make it connected to students (specifically speaking)m</title>

      <title>I like that the teacher uses her kindergarten students to teach the pre - k students. The teacher also asks students and invites participation by asking students their opinions and strategies. </title>

      <title>This is a great way for students to empathize and learn more about real world problems. It helps bring science into the lives of the students. These students are using laptops (tools and manipulative in laptops) and robots. Great way to show experimentati</title>

      <title>I think this video elaborates on how pollution and climate change affects the world. Students can learn about the how and the why behind pollution and climate change without learning the effects it has. This video is great in a visual and real world appro</title>

      <title>I find this to be a very great website to make students learn about pollution. I think having textbooks, hands - on experience and a particular website allows students to get more knowledge on a topic. </title>

      <description>This website gives real world examples which is amazing to make students imagine scenarios and understand pollution. Students don't need to just read textbooks to understand. There are SO MANY TOOLS WE CAN USE! </description>

      <title>Risk - takers take educated risks. They do not take any impulsive actions. Their risks are for the growth of themselves and is well calculated and planned for. Risk takers don&#8217;t always take risks and you should not take risks all the time. </title>

      <title>How would you solve a question? </title>
      <link>https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=3085048</link>

      <description>from those that seek facts and information, to the &quot;why&quot; and &quot;how&quot; questions that open up possibilities, to those that lead to creative solutions. To me, the most important lines in this passage are &quot;One of the distinguishing characteristics of humans is our inclination and ability to find problems to solve&quot; and &quot; Effective problem solvers know how to ask questions to fill in the gaps between what they know and what they don't know.&quot; 
Humans are unique because we use our brains to identify and tackle difficult issues. We are resourceful in wanting to go beyond what we already understand in order to get a better understanding. Through asking questions, we can recognize the differences between what we are already familiar with and where we need more information. Looking further into the conversation, creative solutions can be achieved.

I'm hoping you would recognize that humans have a great capacity to think critically, to ask questions, and to solve even the most complex problems. By asking questions, we can make progress and learn about ourselves and the world around us. I'm also hoping you will see the importance of staying curious and using inquiry to discover new ways to look at problems and come up with innovative solutions.

      <description>This 45-second viral-worthy TikTok video starts with the catchy and unique sound of a 'finger piano', which is accompanied by an upbeat hip hop beat and bright, vibrant colors with a fast-paced editing style. An animated character appears on the screen, dancing and wearing an intricate colorful costume. They take a pose and the video switches to a live action shot of a person performing the exact same pose. 

The video then switches back to an animation of the character bursting into a flurry of colors, while the words &quot;creativity is limitless!&quot; appear on the screen. This transitions into a sequence of both animated and live action shots of people from all different backgrounds, showcasing their creativity in the form of art, music, and dancing. The video then zooms in on the animated character as they dance to the beat and sing inspiring words of wisdom about the power of creativity. 

The visuals are made even more captivating with creative camera angles, filters, and different video formats and styles. At the end of the video, the animated character leaps up and takes one final pose with the words &quot;How creative can YOU be?&quot; flashing across the screen. The video closes with an exciting tune concluding the 45-second long experience and leaving the viewer impressed and inspired to express their own creativity!</description>

      <title>In this lesson, I took many risks. I thought of this lesson as an opportunity to learn about AI, not a challenge. Once I thought of this, I did not have any struggling imagining and creating. I was able to create my own questions and use AI. </title>

      <description>I changed the mentality and the connotation behind trying new agendas. A new opportunity sounds better than a problem or a challenge! </description>

      <title>I was very confused on how to use AI in this microcredential. I learned that we have to try and learn new tools to develop our skills. I was able to understand a new tool by thinking of this class as an opportunity not a challenge. This mindset changes </title>

      <description>everything. When we think of an event as a problem or a challenge, we become scared, anxious and etc. When we think of an event as a opportunity, we relatively believe we can learn and re - learn. </description>
