Using AI to Enhance Accessibility – A Presentation with Roundtable Discussion
No full textAI is already used in many educational and multimedia tools. Accessibility needs to be addressed in the materials used and activities designed for courses. Accessibility concerns not only helping students with prescribed needs but also benefits all student learning preferences. Discussed will be digital tools used at GSU that have AI features for aiding accessibility, and guidelines for accessibility and inclusion, including Universal Design for Learning (UDL). The session will conclude with a roundtable discussion
Nursing Education and the Emerging Artificial Intelligence
Get PDFThe emerging artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming patient care across all domains of nursing practice, including administration, clinical care, education, policy, and research. Nursing researchers are exploring the potential influences of AI health technologies (AIHTs) on nursing in general and on nursing education more specifically. ChatGPT, a trending Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool developed by Open AI. The impact of ChatGPT on the nursing education is profound. The technological evolution in healthcare is advancing. The complexity of curricular revision can create challenges in the face of rapid practice change.
This PowerPoint presentation explains the meaning of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the history and milestones of AI, types of AI, specifically the Generative AI and ChatGPT. The ethical effects of AI in nursing education, research, and practice. Nurse educators must include the use of electronic health records (EHRs), wearable technologies, big data, and data analytics, and increased patient engagement as key areas for curriculum development in nursing academia. As AI continue to grow, it is vital for nursing educators and nursing leaders to engage in critically reflective dialogues and philosophical analyses of the implications, ethics, and potential drawbacks associated with the use AI in nursing contexts. By questioning, the AI-driven innovations, the evolving role of AI in nursing aligns with the values, principles, and goals traditionally shaping the profession, promoting holistic, person-centered, ethical healthcare outcomes. By not incorporating AI into nursing curriculum, we risk eroding the foundations that make nursing a unique and essential discipline
Activism: Reflecting on Human Impact
No full textTeaching and learning through Hollywood, or commercial, film and television productions is anything but a new approach and has been something of a mainstay in the classroom for nearly a century. However, purposeful and effective instruction through film is not problem-free and there are many challenges that accompany classroom applications of Hollywood motion pictures. In response to the problems and possibilities associated with teaching through film, we are developing a collection of practical, classroom-ready lesson ideas that might bridge gaps between theory and practice and assist teachers endeavoring to make effective use of film in their classrooms. We believe that film can serve as a powerful tool in the social studies classroom and, where appropriately utilized, foster critical thinking and civic mindedness. The NCSS College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) framework, represents a renewed and formalized emphasis on the perennial social studies goals of deep thinking, reading and writing. We believe that as teachers endeavor to digest and implement the platform in schools and classrooms across the country, the desire for access to structured strategies that lead to more active and rigorous investigation in the social studies classroom will grow increasingly acute. Our hope is that this edited book might play a small role in the larger project of supporting practitioners, specifically K-6 teachers of social studies content, by offering a collection of classroom-ready tools based on the Hollywood or History? strategy and designed to foster inquiry through the careful use of selected motion pictures and television productions.https://opus.govst.edu/fac/1258/thumbnail.jp
Preparing Inclusive Early Childhood Educators (PIECE): A Conceptualization of Multilingualism, English Learning, and Inclusivity
No full textThe purpose of this article is to share the examination of inclusivity as a paradigm for fostering authenticity and agency (Moore, 2017) among teacher candidates. This framing challenges the notion of inclusion as a tool of meritocracy used to manage learners through expectations that uphold monolingualism, decenter racial histories, and rely on rigid behavior plans. In this work, the authors interrogate the impact inclusion as assimilation has on English learners\u27 authentic ways of knowing and being. Thus, they present a conceptualization of spaces of difference (Agbenyaga & Klibthong, 2012) within the context of an Inclusive Early Childhood Teacher Education (IECTE) program and the objectives of the Preparing Inclusive Early Childhood Educators (PIECE) project. With its rigorous coursework, clinical experiences, multi-tiered mentorship, and practice-based professional development, the PIECE project aims to develop inclusive early childhood educators at the preservice and in-service levels. Infused throughout the PIECE project is an emphasis on cultivating the knowledge and skills needed to provide high-quality instruction that improves educational outcomes for English learners (ELs). Frameworks of transformative theory and intersectionality perspectives provided the authors with a grounding for the work within the PIECE project community of learners (i.e., teacher candidates, teacher educators, and school district partners). This article summarizes critical concepts of inclusivity centered in the PIECE project work. These concepts include (1) understanding oneself to look beyond; (2) disrupting notions of normalcy and naturalized language; and (3) reconceptualizing inclusivity as a social justice act.https://opus.govst.edu/fac/1238/thumbnail.jp
