font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Greetings my fellow education enthusiasts! Today, we're embarking to the shop to explore the mindsets that modern educator need for engaging and inspiring the modern students in our classrooms. We’ll touch on SEL, teacher vulnerability, student-teacher collaboration, identifying our own unspoken rules and biases, and failure (yaay, failure).</span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-4a9b2dde-7fff-b58c-75cc-5faa2915279a"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Imagine a world where students not only find success academically, but also navigate emotions like they’re staring in an episode of Ted Lasso. That's the power of Social Emotional Learning! As modern educators, we need to prioritize SEL in our classrooms. By creating environments that nurture multiple intelligences, we help students build empathy, self-awareness, and resilience. When young minds can understand and manage their emotions effectively, learning becomes not just a chore but an adventure full of meaningful connections.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Gone are the days of the omniscient teacher who knows everything. Embracing vulnerability in the classroom allows educators to be genuine, approachable, and relatable. When we share our own challenges and learning journeys, we break down barriers and foster an environment of trust. It's okay to say, "I don't know, let's find out together!" Teaching becomes a collaborative effort, with teachers and students learning side by side on this thrilling rollercoaster of knowledge.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Picture this: a classroom buzzing with energy as students and teachers collaborate to create a dynamic learning space. It's the magic of teacher-student collaboration! When students become co-creators of their education, they feel valued and empowered. Let's ditch the one-size-fits-all approach and instead, let students have a voice in shaping their learning journey. Who knows, they might just surprise us with innovative ideas and perspectives we never even thought of!</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Creating a safe and inclusive classroom environment is crucial for modern educators. When students feel physically and emotionally safe, their minds are free to explore and take risks. Let's make our classrooms fortresses of learning, where students can share their thoughts without fear of judgment. It's in these nurturing spaces that seeds of curiosity and creativity can flourish.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As modern educators, it's essential to reflect on our biases and assumptions. We're all human, after all! By acknowledging and addressing these blind spots, we open doors to diverse perspectives and inclusive learning experiences. Let's celebrate our differences and use them as strengths to enrich the tapestry of knowledge in our classrooms.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Failure is not the end; it's the launchpad for growth! Modern educators need to instill a growth mindset in their students, where setbacks are seen as stepping stones to success. Let's celebrate mistakes as valuable learning opportunities, encouraging resilience, perseverance, and a hunger for continuous improvement. Remember, every successful person has a story of overcoming failures to reach new heights!</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">And there you have it, our daring exploration of the mindsets modern educators need in classrooms today!</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">See ya, love ya, bye.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">(written in collaboration with ChatGPT)</span></div></span>Josiahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04140456019634479716noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9141771923726243966.post-84032233978320974412023-07-24T23:59:00.002-07:002023-07-24T23:59:19.441-07:00The Teacher’s Toolbox (part the third): Vid-ucation<p> <span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Hey there, fellow tool users!

Integrating technology into the classroom has become a critical aspect of modern education, but simply using technology for technology's sake may not yield the desired results. To harness the true potential of technology, we can turn to the SAMR Model—a framework that encourages educators to evaluate and reimagine teaching practices and take learning to new heights.</span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-50878545-7fff-2661-f9c8-b5037898f7c8"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The SAMR Model serves as a good roadmap for educators who are seeking to leverage technology effectively in the classroom. It is structured into four distinct levels and requires us to think about whether we are using our tech as a Substitution of a previous piece of tech, Augmentation of an existing piece of tech, then we take a massive step to see if the tech Modifies our learning experience, or if it has Redefined the way we teach or learn altogether. Let's focus on the pinnacle of this model—Redefinition—and explore the ways in which technology can positively redefine learning experiences.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">At the Redefinition level, technology empowers students to engage in authentic learning experiences that bridge the gap between the classroom and the rest of the world and even time. For example, instead of merely reading about historical events in textbooks, students can utilize virtual reality to step into the shoes of historical figures, witnessing history around them. This immersive approach fosters a deeper understanding and empathetic connection to the subject matter.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Technology enables students to connect with peers from diverse cultural backgrounds and geographical locations, breaking down physical barriers to learning. Through video conferencing, online collaboration tools, and digital platforms, students can collaborate on projects with their counterparts from across the globe. This enriching experience not only enhances their understanding of different cultures but also nurtures vital skills like communication, teamwork, and adaptability.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The Redefinition level encourages educators to make accomodations and modifications to learning experiences for individual students too - technology allows for adaptive and inclusive learning platforms that can assess students' progress and offer personalized content and feedback accordingly. This customized approach ensures that each student receives the support and challenges necessary to find success.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Technology opens up a world of possibilities for students to showcase their creativity and critical thinking. Through multimedia tools, students can create interactive presentations, videos, podcasts, and digital portfolios, presenting their ideas in innovative and engaging ways. This not only boosts their confidence but also prepares them for the dynamic, digital-driven workplaces of the future.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Redefining learning with technology instills in students the value of lifelong learning. By integrating technology into their learning journey, students become comfortable with using technology as a tool for continuous education and professional growth. This skill becomes indispensable in a rapidly changing job market, where adaptability and technological literacy are highly sought after.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt;

As a result, maintaining academic integrity becomes increasingly difficult. This is more and more of a problem when students find out they can put in a certain amount of errors in their finished product, or they can change a few lines and get right past the automated detections.</span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 1rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Combatting Plagiarism with Technology</span></h3><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 1rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">While AI has contributed to the plagiarism predicament, it can also serve as a potent tool to combat it.

Technology is a tool, and it should be used as so. There are a lot of people going around and using ChatGPT to make money off of something that they didn't even create, and there in and of itself lies a huge moral battle. Is it okay for someone to profit off of someone else's hard work? This is especially present in art. Generative AI can be used for inspiration, and it can also be used to complete tedious and mundane tasks such as writing a cover letter or a college application essay on repeat for everything one applies for, but it should not be used for much more than that. It is incomplete by itself.</span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 1rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Conclusion</span></h3><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 1rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The rise of ChatGPT has undoubtedly transformed the way we interact with language and AI technology. However, with this transformation comes the challenge of maintaining authenticity and combating plagiarism. As we continue to harness the power of AI, it is essential to address the ethical implications of its use. By fostering awareness, promoting critical thinking, and cultivating responsible AI use, we can strike a balance between the benefits of AI-generated content and the preservation of intellectual integrity. Together, we can build a future where technology and human creativity coexist harmoniously.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji";

and share information has undergone a revolutionary transformation.
Connectivism is a learning theory that seeks to understand how learning occurs
in a networked environment, where information is abundant and readily
accessible. Coined by George Siemens in 2005, connectivism emphasizes the role
of technology and social networks in shaping the learning process. In this post,
we’ll explore what connectivism is, how it applies to education and the
classroom, and its limitations.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://us.123rf.com/450wm/melitas/melitas1911/melitas191100017/134309667-communication-and-network-isolated-multi-ethnic-group-people-sharing-ideas-and-technology-for-the.jpg?ver=6" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="450" height="250" src="https://us.123rf.com/450wm/melitas/melitas1911/melitas191100017/134309667-communication-and-network-isolated-multi-ethnic-group-people-sharing-ideas-and-technology-for-the.jpg?ver=6" width="450" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">Connectivism is a learning theory that
asserts that knowledge is not solely confined to an individual's mind but is
distributed across networks of people, technologies, and information sources.
It highlights the importance of building and navigating connections to access
information, solve problems, and foster continuous learning. In the digital
era, learners are no longer limited to textbooks and classrooms; they can
access a vast amount of information through the internet and interact with a
global community of learners and experts.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif"><br /></span></p>

embrace technology as an integral part of the learning process. Integrating
digital tools and online resources allows students to access diverse
perspectives and real-world examples, making learning more engaging and
relevant.</span></li><li><b style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">Fostering Collaborative Learning</span></b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">: Connectivism emphasizes the
significance of collaboration and interaction in the learning process. In the classroom,
educators can facilitate group projects, discussions, and online forums to
encourage students to connect with their peers and exchange ideas.</span></li><li><b style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">Personalized Learning</span></b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">: Connectivism recognizes that learners
have unique interests and needs. By leveraging technology, educators can offer
personalized learning pathways, allowing students to explore subjects of
interest and engage with content tailored to their preferences.</span></li><li><b style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">Encouraging Lifelong Learning: </span></b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">In a rapidly changing world, continuous
learning is crucial. Connectivism promotes the idea that learning does not stop
when students leave the classroom. Educators can cultivate a culture of
lifelong learning by encouraging self-directed exploration and providing
resources for independent study.</span></li><li><b style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">Leveraging Social Media and Online
Communities:</span></b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;"> Social
media platforms and online communities play a significant role in connectivism.
They provide opportunities for learners to connect with experts, participate in
discussions, and access up-to-date information on various topics.</span></li></ol></div></div><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif"><br /></span></p>

discern credible sources from unreliable ones, leading to potential
misinformation and shallow understanding.</span></li><li><b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">Digital Divide:</span></b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> Connectivism heavily relies on
technology and internet access. However, not all students have equal access to

age, educators are constantly seeking innovative approaches to engage and
empower students in the learning process. One such transformative framework gaining momentum in the education sector is the SAMR model. SAMR is an acronym
for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. It is a
framework designed to integrate technology effectively into classrooms. While
the model was initially developed for general educational settings, its
principles can be uniquely applied to the mathematics classroom to
revolutionize teaching and learning. In this blog post, we will explore how the
SAMR model can be harnessed to elevate mathematics education, foster critical
thinking, and promote a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts among
students.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div><b style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 36.0pt;">S</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">ubstitution: Digitizing Traditional
Methods<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://clipground.com/images/calculation-clipart-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="230" height="138" src="https://clipground.com/images/calculation-clipart-12.jpg" width="88" /></a></div></span></b></div></b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">The first level of the SAMR model,
substitution, involves replacing traditional tools and techniques with
technology without significantly altering the learning experience. In the
mathematics classroom, this might mean employing calculators for basic
arithmetic or using interactive whiteboards to present mathematical problems.
While this step may seem modest, it lays the foundation for a more interactive
and engaging learning environment, piquing students' interest in the subject
matter.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><b style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 36.0pt;">A</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">ugmentation: Enhancing Learning

augmentation builds upon substitution by leveraging technology to improve and
amplify learning experiences through functional improvement. Mathematics educators
can utilize interactive simulations and graphing tools to illustrate complex
mathematical concepts visually. For instance, students can use graphing
software to plot and analyze functions in real time, gaining a deeper
understanding of their behavior and relationships. Augmentation not only
enhances comprehension but also encourages collaborative problem-solving and
communication among students.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><b style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 36.0pt;">M</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">odification: Fostering Critical

model encourages educators to significantly redesign traditional tasks using
technology. In the context of mathematics education, this could involve
leveraging programming languages like Python or MATLAB to solve complex
problems or model real-world scenarios. By empowering students to create their
own algorithms and solve mathematical challenges, modification nurtures
critical thinking skills, creativity, and a deeper connection to the subject
matter.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><b style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 36.0pt;">R</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">edefinition: Empowering Mathematical

level of the SAMR model is redefinition, wherein technology enables the
creation of entirely new learning experiences that were previously
inconceivable. In a mathematics classroom, redefinition could involve
collaborating with other classrooms worldwide to solve international
mathematical challenges, leveraging cloud-based platforms for real-time data
analysis, or exploring cutting-edge mathematical research through virtual
reality experiences. Redefinition elevates the study of mathematics from a mere
theoretical exercise to a practical, innovative, and creative pursuit.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> Integrating the SAMR model into
mathematics classrooms has the potential to revolutionize traditional teaching
methods, making them more interactive, engaging, and personalized. By
leveraging technology effectively, educators can empower students to explore
mathematics with curiosity and creativity, fostering a deeper appreciation for
the subject's practical applications and relevance. As the educational
landscape continues to evolve, the SAMR model stands as a beacon of
transformative pedagogy, ensuring that mathematics education remains an
exciting and empowering journey for students of all ages.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 48px;"><br /></div><span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/AxW4bip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="385" src="https://i.imgur.com/AxW4bip.jpg" width="385" /></a></div></span><b style="text-align: justify;"> </b></div></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">Written

students learn and become more successful. In this article, I explain
some benefits of incorporating instructional videos.<br /><p></p>
<h2 id="playpause-and-rewind">1. Play/Pause and Rewind</h2>
<p>This is the most straightforward way that videos can help students:
even if you record a lecture exactly as you would deliver in class, and
share the video with your students, this benefit still stands out. The
ability to play/pause videos and rewatch sections can help students so
much. Explanations can make more sense when watched a second time. Also,
the video format accommodates differences in students’
writing/note-taking speed and processing speed.</p>
<h2 id="access-to-subject-matter-experts">2. Access to Subject-Matter
Experts</h2>
<p>For example, if you are teaching students about gravity and orbits,
you could show your students an instructional video from an
astrophysicist or aerospace engineer who might be more knowledgeable
and/or excited about the specific topic than you. This can help students
become more engaged and learn a topic more deeply than if you had taught
it yourself.</p>
<h2 id="enhanced-delivery">3. Enhanced Delivery</h2>
<p>A recorded lesson can include more carefully planned explanations
& word choice. Many people who post educational videos on YouTube
spend a long time planning, scripting, and editing their videos,
producing a result that is carefully thought-through in its entirety.
One excellent example of this is Grant Sanderson, who makes the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/3blue1brown">3Blue1Brown YouTube
channel</a>. On his channel, every video is, down to the second,
carefully planned and scripted to carefully explain each math concept.
Every detail is chosen specifically for the benefit of the learner and
the learning process. The video format allows for much more careful
choice of details than a live delivery of a lesson.</p>
<p>It’s important to note that learners can benefit from seeing a
teacher’s thought process and ability to work through mistakes, so there
is a place for unedited (or lightly edited) lesson videos as well.
Videos with less editing and planning also take much less time to
produce, which makes them a lot easier for teachers to make. A great
example of this is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/misterwootube">Eddie Woo’s YouTube
channel</a>. Many of his videos are unedited recordings of his actual
secondary math classes.</p>
<h2 id="enhanced-graphics-illustrations">4. Enhanced Graphics &
Illustrations</h2>
<p>This is where the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/3blue1brown">3Blue1Brown channel</a>
really shines. Every video includes unique and mind-opening
visualizations and animations that illustrate and explain a complex
mathematical concept. These illustrations and animations are completely
unlike anyone could draw on a whiteboard, and as a result, the
perspectives and pedagogical approaches introduced in these videos are
often entirely different from the typical ways of covering the
content.</p>
<p>Even for normal people who don’t have Grant Sanderson’s amazing
computer animation abilities, a video recording can help improve
visualization abilities compared with a live lesson. Video recordings
allow teachers to more seamlessly integrate visualization technology
(like online graphing tools and other online resources) than live
lessons.</p>
<h2 id="saving-teachers-time">5. Saving Teacher’s Time</h2>
<p>Teachers can save time by finding a relevant and useful instructional
video that is able to explain a complex topic concisely. A great example
of this during my own education was my history and psychology teachers
during high school using <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@crashcourse">Crash Course</a> videos to
introduce new topics and to hit the main points. The teachers would then
go into more detail on each of the main points in their own lessons. The
videos provided a quick and engaging high-level overview of the topics
while the teachers covered the specific details in live lessons.</p>
<h2 id="rewatching-outside-of-class">6. Rewatching Outside of Class</h2>
<p>If students forget specific details of what was covered in an
instructional video, they can watch it outside of class to help them
review! This can help students get unstuck on homework, or study for
tests. Teachers could record their class sessions and share those with
their students to rewatch, or they could link to video resources created
externally, such as <a href="https://www.khanacademy.org">Khan
Academy</a>. Khan Academy provides excellent free online courses (with
videos, articles, and exercises) that are closely aligned with US
curriculum for most subjects, especially math and science.</p>
<h2 id="unique-formats-and-time-tricks">7. Unique Formats and Time
Tricks</h2>
<p>The video format & the ability to edit allows teachers to create
lessons in ways that are not possible with live lessons. For example,
teachers can include music and effects into instructional videos that
wouldn’t be feasible in a live lesson. They also can take advantage of
the ability to edit, such as by cutting out redundant words, cutting out or
speeding up the time it takes to write something on the board, or making
recordings from different times and places.</p>
<h2 id="accessibility">8. Accessibility</h2>
<p>Recorded videos can help learners who benefit from learning in a
format different from what a teacher might deliver in a live lesson. For
example, teachers might refer students to videos that teach material in
the student’s native language. This can help students learn a subject if
their first language is not the language used in class. Also, videos can
include closed captioning, which can help students who struggle to
understand what a teacher is saying, whether it be due to a hearing
impairment, dialectical differences, or another reason. Most
video-sharing websites allow creators to upload their own captions for
videos. YouTube can also provide computer-generated captions, with
limited accuracy, which may or may not be helpful depending on the
situation. YouTube also has the ability to automatically translate
captions between languages, so even if a video is not in a learner’s
preferred language, auto-translated captions can help it become
accessible to them.</p>

experiences tailored to individual students' needs and interests. It encourages
students to take ownership of their learning by exploring topics of personal
relevance and connecting with experts or resources beyond the classroom. This
approach fosters autonomy, intrinsic motivation, and a lifelong love for
learning. Many classes have moved away from making students write about specific topics and have moved toward allowing students to select prompts and topics that interest them. An example in my personal life comes from my sophomore year of college where I was allowed to write a blog post about anything I wanted, and I wrote a piece on the music building expansion on Whitworth's campus (the full blog can be found <a href="https://medium.com/@devinsavage_52957/how-expansion-changed-the-arts-c42d7a2d0eee">here</a>).

It can
write, to varying degrees of accuracy, about almost any subject. It can
adjust its tone and style effortlessly, and can easily pass as a capable
student’s work. The biggest impact of generative AI in schools has been
in writing-heavy subjects like English and history.</p>
<p>As a physics teacher-in-training, I was curious about the impact of
generative AI on my future physics classes. In this post, we’ll look
into how students might use generative AI to produce solutions that are
not their own, and we’ll investigate ways to mitigate this and how to
integrate generative AI more positively in physics classes.</p>
<h2 id="chatgpts-physics-abilities">ChatGPT’s Physics Abilities</h2>
<p>It’s well known that ChatGPT is not very good as a calculator—it
can’t perform simple calculations accurately. So, I’ll evaluate its
abilities based on its abilities to solve problems symbolically, meaning
in terms of variables instead of numbers.</p>
<p>I asked ChatGPT to solve several physics problems that I found in
textbooks (University Physics by Young & Freedman 13th edition, Conceptual Physics by Hewitt 11th edition). While there is some risk that those textbook problems were a
part of ChatGPT’s training data, it is relatively unlikely that it was
trained on the solutions as well.</p>
<p>In general, when solving physics problems symbolically, ChatGPT
performed very well on simple problems that involve direct application
of concepts. However, when solving problems that involve combining
multiple concepts or that require mentally visualizing the described
scenario, ChatGPT struggles.</p>
<p>An example of this in action is this problem:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You hang a thin hoop with radius
<math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>R</mi><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">R</annotation></semantics></math>
over a nail at the rim of the hoop. You displace it to the side (within
the plane of the hoop) through an angle
<math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>β</mi><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\beta</annotation></semantics></math>
from its equilibrium position and let it go. What is its angular speed
when it returns to its equilibrium position?</p>

<p>Here is its response:</p>

within the plane of the hoop and then released, it will undergo simple
harmonic motion (SHM) around the equilibrium position (vertical position
hanging over the nail). The equilibrium position is stable for small
displacements.</p>
<p>To find the angular speed (angular velocity) of the hoop when it
returns to its equilibrium position, we can use the principles of
conservation of energy.</p>
<p>When the hoop is at its equilibrium position, its total mechanical
energy is at a minimum, and it is entirely potential energy. As it is
displaced and then released, it will convert this potential energy into
kinetic energy and back to potential energy as it oscillates. At the
equilibrium position, all the potential energy will be converted back to
potential energy.</p>

<p>Thus, the angular speed of the hoop when it returns to its

<p>Note: The negative sign in the intermediate steps indicates that the
potential energy decreases as the displacement increases, which is
expected as the hoop moves towards its equilibrium position. However, we
take the positive square root at the end since angular speed is always
positive.</p>

It was very close, it just assumed that the hoop was rotating about an
axis perpendicular to its plane and through its center, whereas the
rotation axis is actually along the rim of the hoop.</p>
<p>Here’s another problem that demonstrates how ChatGPT struggles with
problems that require visualization:</p>

<p>ChatGPT’s response:</p>

<p>To calculate Tarzan’s speed just before he reaches Jane, we can use
the principle of conservation of mechanical energy. At the start of his
swing, Tarzan has potential energy due to his height above the ground,
and as he reaches Jane, this potential energy is converted into kinetic
energy.</p>
<p>Let’s assume the height of Tarzan’s tree above the ground is
<math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>h</mi><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">h</annotation></semantics></math>
meters, and the height of Jane’s tree above the ground is also
<math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>h</mi><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">h</annotation></semantics></math>
meters. Since Tarzan and Jane are at the same height, we can set up an
equation based on conservation of mechanical energy:</p>

Given that he swings towards Jane, this should be a tender embrace
rather than knocking her off her limb.</p>

<p>ChatGPT’s response did not account for the

angle that the vine makes at the end of the swing, however, most of the
rest of the work was pretty close to on track. Its decimal approximation
of its exact answer is completely wrong, but that is to be expected with
its poor calculation abilities. Also, its interpretation of its
(incorrect) answer of
<math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mn>14.0</mn><mspace width="0.222em"></mspace><mtext mathvariant="normal">m/s</mtext></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">14.0\ \text{m/s}</annotation></semantics></math>
is also questionable- it is certainly optimistic (to say the least) that
Tarzan can capture Jane in a tender embrace if he reaches her while
swinging at
<math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mn>31</mn><mspace width="0.222em"></mspace><mtext mathvariant="normal">mph</mtext></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">31\ \text{mph}</annotation></semantics></math>.</p>
<p>What I found through many examples was that ChatGPT can identify the
correct concepts and equations for most problems. For simpler problems,
it is able to consistently plug in the right numbers, and although it
generally won’t produce the right numerical final answer, it would
produce the right answer if you plugged it into an actual
calculator.</p>
<p>For conceptual problems, it can consistently nail the answers. Here
were the conceptual questions that I tried:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Is gravitational force acting on a person who falls off a cliff? On
an astronaut inside an orbiting space shuttle?</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>If the specific heat capacity of water were less, would a nice hot
bath be a longer or a shorter experience?</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Why is work done by the force of gravity on a satellite when it moves
from one part of an elliptical orbit to another, but not when it moves
from one part of a circular orbit to another?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It was able to answer them all essentially perfectly, with a huge
amount of detail, and without any incorrect statements.</p>
<h2 id="the-impact-on-homework">The Impact on Homework</h2>
<p>As a physics teacher, the main two skills I’ll be teaching my
students are:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>How to see the world through the lens of physics</li>
<li>How to figure out how to solve kinds of problems that they have
never seen before</li>
</ol>
<p>ChatGPT forces me to rethink how I will teach the second skill. Each
kind of problem might require a unique connection of ideas that my
students never have combined before. The skill that my students need to
learn, through practice, is how to figure out which physics concepts are
applicable to a particular problem, and how to use the corresponding
equations together in a way that results in the solution. The
development of these skills requires practicing with many kinds of
problems. If students rely on ChatGPT to tell them the set of concepts
and equations that they’ll need to solve the problem, then they won’t
have practiced that skill themselves. They won’t be prepared for
assessments where they cannot depend on AI.</p>
<h2 id="potential-solutions">Potential Solutions</h2>
<p>First, I’ll have students practice more in class. A common experience
for physics students is to be following along as a teacher works through
a practice problem, but then struggling when they have to solve a
problem themselves. By having students start independent work in class,
they’ll be able to use their teacher and peers to help them get hints in
the right direction if they need it.</p>
<p>Next, I’ll provide scaffolding for most practice problems that I
assign as homework. With a loose set of steps to follow provided with
the homework, that removes the unfairness that would be experienced if
some students used generative AI and others didn’t. While this means
that students won’t get any practice with unaided problem-solving during
their homework, that practice will be moved to class time.</p>
<h2 id="constructive-uses-of-generative-ai-in-physics-classes">Constructive
Uses of Generative AI in Physics Classes</h2>
<p>I brainstormed potential ways to integrate generative AI into physics
classes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Have students use AI to solve specific problems, and use it as an
opportunity for students to practice identifying conceptual errors or
calculation errors. By practicing this skill on the work of generative
AI, they can become better at catching errors in their own work.</li>
<li>Assign much more difficult challenge problems, and have students
work in groups and use generative AI to help them figure out how to
solve them.</li>
<li>Encourage students to use generative AI to create a variety of
different explanations or metaphors to introduce physics concepts, and
have them choose an explanation or metaphor that works best for
them.</li>
<li>Have students come up with physics problems based on certain
concepts using generative AI, using topics or real-life situations that
are interesting to them. Then they can solve the problems, or trade them
with other students to solve.</li>
</ul>

How a struggling student was then reading at grade level with the help of ChatGPT. I think there are many other advantages but that one stuck out the most to me. I do however worry that maybe students could be using ChatGPT without knowing what they are producing and turning in/researching like it had mentioned. I think it is helpful if they knew how to use it as a scaffolding tool but like it said as a disadvantage itself, there is a limited understanding to what students are observing for information. They may then too heavily rely on it like it also admitted itself. I do think that it is a wonderful tool for teachers to use for lesson planning and prepping other materials for reading but I think that when students are using it, it should be used more for scaffolding and monitored by the teacher.</span></span><p></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-top: 0in; padding: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0.25in; margin-top: 0in; padding: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">I also wanted to note that it knows it can provide answers and responses but it doesn't have the emotional intelligence that a human teacher gives to students.

Optimization:</b></span></span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> Lesson
planning is a time-consuming task for educators, often requiring hours of
research, content creation, and organization. AI-powered tools can
significantly streamline this process, freeing up valuable time for teachers.
With AI, educators can access vast repositories of educational resources,
curricula, and materials, allowing them to quickly find relevant content and
tailor it to their lessons. AI can also automate routine tasks such as content
curation, formatting, and scheduling, simplifying the workflow for teachers. This
time efficiency empowers educators to focus more on pedagogical strategies,
personalized instruction, and student engagement.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif">Personalized Learning Experiences:</span></b><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> Each student has unique learning
needs and preferences. AI can help educators deliver personalized learning
experiences by analyzing student data and generating insights. By harnessing
AI, teachers can gain a deeper understanding of students' strengths,
weaknesses, and learning styles. AI algorithms can process data on student
performance, progress, and preferences, enabling teachers to tailor lessons and
assignments to individual needs. Adaptive learning platforms powered by AI can
dynamically adjust content and difficulty levels, providing targeted support or
challenging tasks based on each student's abilities. This personalized approach
fosters engagement, improves comprehension, and boosts student achievement.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif">Data-Driven Instructional Strategies:</span></b><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> AI empowers educators to make

By instilling the importance of privacy, critical thinking, responsible behavior, and digital citizenship, we empower our kids to navigate the digital world safely and make informed decisions online. As adults, it is our responsibility to equip them with the necessary skills to protect themselves, promote positive online interactions, and foster a healthy and secure digital environment.

Modification: Modify learning activities to
leverage the unique capabilities of technology. For example, instead of simply
reading a book, have students create digital storybooks using platforms like
<a href="https://bookcreator.com/">Book Creator</a> or <a href="https://storybird.com/">Storybird</a>. This modification allows students to explore
multimedia elements, such as adding images, audio, or video, to enhance their
storytelling. <br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 45.8pt 91.6pt 137.4pt 183.2pt 229.0pt 274.8pt 320.6pt 366.4pt 412.2pt 458.0pt 503.8pt 549.6pt 595.4pt 641.2pt 687.0pt 732.8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span><span> </span><span> </span> </span><img alt="Multimedia Courses- Animate Your Dream Career in 2022 | Leverage Edu" aria-hidden="false" class="r48jcc pT0Scc iPVvYb" src="https://leverageedu.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Multimedia.jpg" style="height: 277px; margin: 0px; max-width: 880px; width: 443px;" /> <br /></span></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;">

Redefinition: Aim to redefine the learning
experience by using technology to create new and transformative tasks. For
instance, have students collaborate with their peers from other schools through
video conferencing or use digital tools like <a href="https://padlet.com/dashboard/recents?mobile_page=Collection">Padlet</a> or <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/">Google Docs</a> for
real-time collaborative projects. This redefinition allows students to connect,
share ideas, and work together beyond the physical boundaries of the classroom.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;">

technology for the sake of it, but rather leveraging technology to transform
learning and provide meaningful experiences. Ensure that technology integration
aligns with your curriculum goals and promotes active engagement, critical
thinking, and collaboration among your students. Additionally,
provide guidance and support to ensure appropriate and responsible use of
technology. <br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 45.8pt 91.6pt 137.4pt 183.2pt 229.0pt 274.8pt 320.6pt 366.4pt 412.2pt 458.0pt 503.8pt 549.6pt 595.4pt 641.2pt 687.0pt
