Standard 1

What Is: This presentation on artificial intelligence (AI) in education and other industry sectors was created as part of an exploratory project by our group's collaborative efforts.

Process: As part of a group, I was deeply involved in the creative process of designing these slides in Canva. I chose the template design and shared it with the other group members. After exploring the topic of AI as one of the current trends in instructional technology, we presented our findings to the rest of our class via this creative project.

Connect: This presentation was a result of a collaborative effort where each member of the group contributed to the overarching project and the development of this artifact. I had a chance to learn from my colleagues and share my own knowledge while working on all parts of our group project, including this presentation. This collaborative and creative process allowed me to improve my own professional practice and to learn many tools and features available in Canva.

What Is: This artifact represents the first part of my reading journal that I was using to reflect on many readings and multimedia resources studied during the first three modules of the course.

Process: After reading and watching videos on various topics that addressed the diffusion of innovations, I presented my analysis as short synopses of key takeaways from the articles, book chapters, and interviews with the experts on the topic. I analyzed the information and explained it in my own words, the way I understood the main points. This journal was kept and updated throughout the entire course.

Connect: Working on this journal as part of the class equipped me with the theoretical and practical knowledge that I will be able to apply to my professional practice. I learned about proven and promising practices by reading, analyzing, and reflecting on many sources that provided different perspectives on the process of successful technology integration. Learning from the experts in the field will further improve my ability to leverage technology to improve my students' learning.
