I've just wrapped up on our project aimed at answering the question, how might we develop and provide an effective training program to equip teachers within the Australian education system with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively use and integrate common educational technologies and CALL resources into their teaching practices?

Today has been a journey of discovery, particularly in using AI to assist in speeding up the process of problematizing for our design phase of our project and in using AI to generate images to visually represent aspects of our project.

I wanted to focus on how multimodality and interconnectivity from module 5 could be used to enhance alignment of resources with the needs and abilities of teachers as students, and on using a variety of avenues for getting information.

My level of AI use on this assignment would fall under level 1: AI-Assisted Idea Generation and Structuring, based on how much of the final document we submitted for task 2 was written or influenced by ChatGPT.

I asked chatgpt 4 to read through a bunch of articles relevant to the topic of using CALL in educational contexts and it summarized the points in the articles succinctly, allowing me to identify a problem relevant to my experiences and Noah's experiences as teachers.

I wasn't able to find a good representation of the layout of a classroom in a publicly funded Chinese school running the national curriculum on Canva, so I decided to get it to generate an image and to select one I felt best represented how such classrooms are run. I decided to juxtapose that beside a real image of a classroom you might expect to find in Australia - where we can see students working cooperatively, with much fewer students per teacher.

I believe my capability to enhance alignment of resources with the needs and abilities of students (who in this case will also be teachers) could come about through the inclusion of multimodality in part two of the tech integration project Noah and I finished. I have been aware of the struggle some students have with purely text-based resources since before I became an educator, as I encountered peers with learning difficulties such as dyslexia in my studies, and witnessed their struggles with text-based tasks first-hand. For this reason, I want to ensure my work as an educator is accessible/can be engaged with by as many students as possible - and an effective solution to the problem such students face is to incorporate multimodality where possible. To this end, our prototype website includes multimodal resources where possible in the form of video instructions.

I also believe, as an educator, it is important to provide a variety of avenues for getting information, which is why I wanted to focus on interconnectivity in the tech integration project. By setting up a forum on the webpage Noah and I included teacher training resources on, we hope to provide educators with multiple avenues for getting information, as they can either easily find instructions on how to use and implement various technologies in their classrooms, or they can submit a question on the forum for other educators to engage - and potentially assist - each other in.

Furthermore, we wanted to enable teachers to evaluate our resources through a feedback form on the prototype website, which we intend to refer to in modifying our prototype for our final submission.
