We saw how the future skill being developed with AI address the UDL and can assist the instruction as a copilot and help the instructor assess the learning as the students are allowed to continue to revise their learnning.

We noticed that in some instances, we wanted to connect certain terms to items that were spread out. Starting with UDL was a good base for us as it is extremely universal however once we began connecting with AI, we noticed quite a bit connected to both.

UDL was the top with all the rest of AI activities flowing down.

When creating our Hexagonal map we discussed how UDL could have been the center to our map as it is a main component to planning and using AI. Workflow was another concept that connected to many concepts, such as lesson planning and using AI as a co-pilot.

This activity was harder than the first one we did earlier in the week. We had 2 new people, which requireed us to explain a little bit (no problem). There seemes to be more cross over with this cards as well. Lots of interpretations that can be applied. The whole process is to incourgement colaboration and communictaion

A word I struggled to use was "student privacy." I think it connects to the idea of student data being input into AI systems and how their privacy is protected. For example, if you're working on a lesson plan and include student accommodations to meet their needs. Is their data protected, and to what extent is it safeguarded? We also discussed whether AI-powered tutoring systems and co-pilot systems are related, and if so, how are they connected? Can they be considered the same?

We started with UDL, since it was the "universal" hexagon. We found that most of the hexagons could go in multiple spots, as they are similarly connected. For example, "equity and access" is connected to future skills, UDL, special education, and AI. One that stood out to me was "student data privacy" as it leads to many teachers concerns about students using AI in the classroom. As a special education teacher, I could argue that the "special education" hexagon could also go on the AI side, as it is a great tool for diverse learners to keep up with their general education peers.

This time around was different from the last. I felt like we were constantly shuffling the hexagons to make connections.

We discussed how centralized UDL is. Lesson planning takes many of these terms into consideration. We had trouble finding a perfect spot for Student Data Privacy. Revisions, fact, fact checking and verification are important when utilizing AI tools and chatbots.

We noticed that UDL does tie in with many of the AI topics. For example, AI can provide students with tutoring spaces such as School AI. We also noticed that teaching our students about AI is a skill they will need in the future. UDL and AI really do go hand in hand.

The main part of our hexagonal thinking map was AI Powered tutoring systems. A major connection from that is to personalized learning feedback as tutoring systems can provide that. From there we can also go to adaptive learning platforms where students can receive personalized learning feedback. Back to the center with AI Powered tutoring systems,, from there we made a connection to AI enhanced feedback. Finally we found that special education can also benefit from personalized learning feedback.

AI and UDL can work together in multiple ways. AI is a skill for the future that allows for creativity and a more productive workflow. It also allows for easier access to content and more immediate and direct feedback in a timely manner to help both students and educators. Humans must work together with the AI in order to allow for thoughtful lesson planning and productivity within the classroom setting.

We started off by connecting Human and AI Hybrid teams with workflow - as a group we discussed how by utilizing AI as a tool in the workspace you can create a balance (like we were talking about yesterday with the 80/20 work division). One of the hexagons that stood out to me and was the Future Skills one. I think that both UDL and AI are vehicles for delivering these future skills to our students. AI probably isn't going anywhere and it would be to the students' advantage to learn how to use it correctly and to their benefit.

When looking at the connections for the hexagons, I was thinking about how AI, lesson planning, and UDL work together. The considerations we have to make as teachers are important when deciding when and how to use AI in our lesson planning.

Creating our hexagonal, we started with future skills. What I noticed is that with each piece we added there was an argument for putting that piece in another location. I think the object here is for us to realize that Al can help with UDL in many ways if used properly.

UDL prepares students for future skills beyond the classroom.

AI is the co-pilot and the student is the final decision maker.

It can be used as an assessment.

UDL should be considered for lesson planning.

UDL/AI is accessible & equitable.

We started with UDI. We were able to fit in AI pretty easily into Hexagonal Thinking diagram. I can see how AI would work with UDI.

I appreciate this table's hexagon links because there are things that could not be related or connected. Its great to hear other people's perspective of what relates to each thing. In another group, the UDL extended to special education which then linked into AI helping to facilitate which is crucial for differentiation.
