I would have to say virtual tools such as Zoom. Although it's not just emerging any longer, but it's constantly changing and shifting the abilities we have to learn, and it allows us to connect with people from all over the world!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.VW14bnNc
I would recommend R622, Learning Environments Design. The course itself is extremely exciting, allowing for a lot of collaboration and creativity! The weekly guests make it not only engaging, but extremely beneficial as you have the opportunity to connect and learn with some of the leaders in their fields!

I love reading about VR in special education and how it has been used to support the emotional and behavioral needs of students with disabilities (there wasn't much literature about it). However, I get excited when emerging technologies have been used or made accessible for these students.

John Dewey! I was struggling a lot when I was a master's student learning and understanding his book on the philosophy of education (I don't remember which book it was), but it would be interesting to see how he could incorporate his philosophy into educational technology.

Accessibility checkers that pinpoint inaccessible content. Increased access to affordable internet.

I've been grateful for AI voiceover tools like Murf AI with creating videos and e-learnings. In the past, editing audio or re-recording voiceovers was time consuming and a headache. That being said, I feel uneasy about what this means for real voice over actors. Ethics in AI is of great interest to me.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.eZ76xzlY
Paolo Freire and bell hooks teaching on critical pedagogy and empowering students. They would be a force as a duo, and I'd be very interested to hear their thoughts AI.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.VG8H79Pw
Accessibility features- They support and allow learners to be more independent and still receive the support they need to be successful.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.VW14bnNc
R622, Learning Environments Design- I really enjoyed learning from weekly guests who are working in the field! The class provides you with lot of choice and collaboration.

I have been using Poe a lot. It allows me to go between many different AI bots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Poe. Recently, I have been using MagicSchool AI which is created specifically with educators in mind.

My go-to answer is virtual reality, especially for the sciences that are expensive, dangerous, or microscopic to teach in class– oceanography, dissection, and space. I am researching virtual reality for Japanese learners studying English.

I am going to echo my classmates with the accessibility features, allowing for largest (preferably all) students to be able to access the material with equity. I also feel that the power of using AI for good in education could truly transform the way students and educators look at education.

While all of my classes have held practical value, I would recommend Dr. Bonk and Dr. Karlin as EDUC-R instructors. The choice, feedback, and student-centered focus are phenomenal. I would also highly recommend Dr. Wild for anything research oriented, for the same reasons.

In a day, I can log 7 hours in the bleachers, but still get over 10k steps in and 19 floors. Yes, I track my activity... I did this Saturday. I also find it relaxes me to walk and work (read, grade, or create content for my students) while on the treadmill. Que kinesthetic learning...

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.buz9c1iQ
To provide context, prior to last semester, I was anti-AI. Thus, I have only dabbled in the tools and functions of AI. I think it AI is extremely useful as a jumpstart/idea when you feel lack of direction of where to start. I also used it to help check my interpretations with stats.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.eZ76xzlY
As my discipline interests lie in human development, I would love to see what Piaget would think about the current technology and how he might not only teach it, but also integrate it into his theories.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.VG8H79Pw
Robotics. Maybe this is still AI, I apologize if I'm just not well versed, but my students have really taken to coding and programming on iPads or their chromebooks to help robots move or characters on their screens move. We did html when I was in school, but this is a whole new level that they pick up very quickly and seem to enjoy.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.VW14bnNc
I feel like a few professors get switched around as far as courses/course numbers go so I'll just say a course by Marcus Croom or Erin Morrow.

I really enjoy arranging florals. I do it for fun for gifts or special occasions but I just recently started doing weddings and proms. There's just a special kind of joy I get from it!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.buz9c1iQ
My students really enjoy this game quickdraw.withgoogle/com (if I post the link it takes out my picture) as a brain break in the classroom. I don't know that it's necessarily the most useful but it's the most frequently used.

I honestly did not have a lot of exposure to AIs before i came to IU but i have enjoyed a few that i have come my way. Tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Elicit.org (not sure if this is an AI) and the like. ChatGPT to get skeletons of ideas and Elicit to help with connecting these ideas.

Maybe ubiquitous mass media.  In my opinion everybody looks at mass media as a" bad influence" of our kids and students, but I believe that we should look at it as an opportunity not as a threat to education. Maybe in future the students learn more from mass media in comparison to todays.

if you consider the " autotype" of the Word as an AI, I guess it was the first AI that I came across it! Form the beginning of last semester I got familiar with CHAT GPT, I usually use Chat GPT, I ask it to explain new topics in simple words and with some examples.

In the field of education, I also believe Extended Reality, including Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality, is revolutionizing the learning experience. It allows students to engage in "hands-on" real-world experiences both within the physical and online classrooms. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.VW14bnNc
Many of my IU courses have been valuable, both professionally and personally. However, two stand out as the most beneficial: Instructional Development and Production, where I loved the hands-on projects and design work, and Evaluation and Change in the Instructional Development Process, which provided valuable insights for my current role. But the most fun was Instructional Graphics Design, where I created a children's book with a printed physical version!

I have been using ChatGPT and Google's new version, Bard. I think both offer  advantages. When I was only using ChatGPT, I relied on it for proofing text, summarizing long articles, and asking simple questions. However, ChatGPT's lack of up-to-date information and inability to search the web are its biggest disadvantages. However, Bard can search the web, generate graphs and images, and access relevant information. I now find myself using Bard more than Google.

The first thought that comes to mind is Vincent van Gogh. A few years ago, my husband and I experienced a Van Gogh immersive exhibit.

I also think it would be fascinating to learn his perspective on AI-generated art and how technology can benefit artists.

I really enjoyed EDUC-Z501 Arts Methods for Non-Art Specialist Educators with Roy Reynolds. It was really easy going and introduced a lot of methods for integrating arts into curriculum. I found this extremely helpful as I noticed that arts is not integrated or prioritized as much in my district unfortunately. In combination with this course and other courses in the IST program, I think we can kick this up a notch! Integrating arts with or by using technology!

Augmented reality has the most potential to transform education due to its immersive components. Virtual field trips, engaging in global perspectives from the classroom, and other visual aids can be life-changing, especially for schools in low-income neighborhoods.

I would highly recommend Global Education Policy and Reform. In this course we dove into both limitations and opportunities for globalizing education. I received great insights on how politicized education has become and developed my considerations of economic, cultural, social, and region-based factors on both local and national scales of education.

The non-profit organization I work at currently uses AI to fund writing ideas for our newsletters. The audience for our newsletters are typically parents, who seek our services for parenting advice and guidance. Based on surveys and informal assessments, we identify a topic that is highly requested by many parents. For instance, if the topic is “How to deal with children who hide grades from parents,” we ask AI to culminate general answers. From there, our therapists and therapeutic tutors collaborate on extending those responses by integrating our coined approach.
