I am a former classroom teacher passionate about learning the current best practices and tools in educational technology.

@SGuiou1996 That is a legitimate concern for educators at all levels right now! Proper training is key. Learn how to empower students to use AI ethically with these real-life techniques used by classroom teachers: https://t.co/f63XEJ08x3 #wuedt6020

@MrDownes214 I am currently working alongside faculty in the pharmacy program to utilize AI to help develop patient interaction skills. The AI acts as the patient, the student has to determine which questions to ask in order to get the info they need to help!

@SGuiou1996 Love using tech in Social Studies! Interactive timelines, simulations & chatbots make history come alive for students! Plus, it helps me connect with other educators for even more creative lesson plans. #wuedt6020

@Hampton0415 AI field trips & cultural AI interactions would revolutionize a World Geography class. Exploring the physical environment of another country or chatting with an AI citizen of another culture would increase engagement compared to videos or research! #wuedt6020

[Kristen Ross @KRossEdTech]

@mspizzini @KFranklin923 Yes! Student-led social media tours of cultural landmarks? That would be a great activity for students at any level looking at history or culture as part of their curriculum. Makes history come alive & unearths hidden gems! #wuedt6020

[Kristen Ross @KRossEdTech]

@MrDownes214 @KFranklin923 Absolutely! As a Social Studies teacher, I love the thought of collaborating with educators FROM the cultures I teach to students! Social media could be a wellspring of diverse perspectives for a culturally responsive curriculum. #wuedt6020

@mspizzini @KFranklin923 Virtual pen pals is a great idea! Thank you for sharing those sites. I will have to check them out! #wuedt6020

@MrDownes214 @KFranklin923 @googledocs I just recently started using Google Docs and am kicking myself that I didn't start utilizing this tool sooner! I love the ease of collaboration and options for creativity when working on this platform.

[Kristen Ross @KRossEdTech]

@mspizzini @KFranklin923 @padlet Padlet is such a great tool! I used it when I was in the high school classroom and it can also be utilized to gain some real-time responses and anonymous feedback with students attending in-person classes. Easy to use and my students loved it!

[Kristen Ross @KRossEdTech]

@KFranklin923 Harmonize (@harmonizelearn) is an online discussion tool that uses AI to help teachers create topics, rubrics & track participation. It even "nudges" students who haven't contributed enough. Great for helping students stay engaged & collaborating. #wuedt6020
