This week was a very fun and interesting one. I have personally always been nervous to use AI, and I have also been somewhat displeased with its impacts on the art world. However, this week I gained some insight into the benefits of AI, especially within the academic and learning setting.

Not only was I able to quickly create resources I was able to use with my current students, I was also able to play around and have quite a bit of fun with different AI resources. I especially enjoyed using ChatGPT and was able to create a number of math questions (and answer keys) for my students to practice certain skills that we have been working on in class.

When I plugged in the prompt for this weeks blog post into ChatGPT it was interesting to read the different ways I could get it to explain the SAMR and TPACK models. I was able to ask it to write it for me in an elaborate way, a concise way, and even for it to put the information for me into a flow chat. I found its responses to be accurate, and I found it interesting to read the answers after the AI was prompted in different ways. I found asking for the information to be placed into a flow chart to be the most simple way for ChatGPT to explain those two models, I think this is because this was the most concise response.

Overall I really enjoyed not only learning more about AI but also getting the opportunity to explore various uses for different formats of AI that currently exist. And as an educator I am really grateful for having been introduced more to this, as there are truly so many ways that this is beneficial. I am really excited to explore the use of AI in teaching, learning, and creating resources.
