Teaching with Technology – Your Experiences?

Hi everyone,

I’m curious about how you’ve been using technology in your teaching. In this module, I’ve learned a lot about integrating social media, interactive tools, and multimedia to make lessons more engaging for students.

I’m wondering: what strategies or tools have you found most effective in your classroom? Have you noticed any impact on student participation, understanding, or motivation when using these technologies?

Looking forward to hearing your experiences and ideas!

flash cards

Quiz question on flash cards: 

Course content didn't cover flash cards. 

Google search suggested flash cards may not be in LMS - and is not native to the original software, but an add on; more detailed search into Flash cards in Moodle or Canvas suggest the module may not exist or may not be configured properly. 

What Do Students Think About AI?

What do your students think or believe about AI? What are their concerns? We hear a lot about faculty concerns regarding the introduction of AI in the classroom, and I am curious to know what students think about incorporating AI.

teaching with tech

I have learned that feedback is very important and to have regular meeting to discuss

Teach with tech

I plan on help them group up by people who are intrested in the same ides, give them space, tame them with 25 work and 5 min rest, and check on then often

Learning Statistics with AI

Artificial intelligence can greatly enhance the study of statistics by making complex concepts more intuitive, interactive, and data-driven. AI tools can quickly analyze large data sets, generate simulations, and provide real-time visualizations that help students see how statistical models behave under different conditions. Intelligent tutoring systems can offer personalized explanations and practice problems, adapting in difficulty as learners progress. Natural-language processing can simplify data interpretation by turning raw numbers into clear, narrative insights, while AI-powered predictive analytics illustrate practical applications of regression, classification, and hypothesis testing. Together, these capabilities help learners move beyond rote calculation toward deeper conceptual understanding and stronger critical-thinking skills.

Critical Thinking

I believe AI will be used in two ways, to aid critical thinking or to think completely for the user.

Should AI in education be seen as a helpful tool for teachers, a possible replacement, or something else entirely?

AI is the biggest game-changer in human history. In schools and universities, it could help students learn in a way that fits them best, take over some of the grading work, and even act like a virtual teaching assistant. But it also makes us wonder—are we relying on it too much? Could it affect academic honesty? And what happens to the role of teachers when AI steps in? Do you see AI as a helpful tool for teachers, a possible replacement, or maybe something else entirely?

Teaching with Technology

Accessibility could also mean affordability for different students.  How would the funds be contributed based on the needs?  

TEACHING STUDENTS

I think knowledge sharing benefits you as an instructor and students because it enhances your knowledge. 

Limitations of ChatGPT

In the course ED148: Introduction to ChatGPT, one of the stated limitations is that ChatGPT "does not have access to real-time information or the ability to browse the internet for the latest updates." However, I believe this is no longer accurate for the current version. I asked ChatGPT to browse the internet and display the headline of today's New York Post—and it did so successfully. This shows that, beyond its training data, ChatGPT can now access and retrieve real-time information from the web. I'd love to hear your thoughts—do you agree, or have you experienced something different?

GOOGLE SPACE 119R

Google space offers so much opportunities for students to collaborate and share information especially when students are working on projects.  The team of students can keep track of what their peers are doing, team members can also provide comments or suggestions  on group members contribution.  Teachers can also monitor students work and can guide students in terms of whether they are on the right track or topic. Students can also ask questions for clarification. Moreover, teachers can also use it to share assignments and provide submission dates.  I am definitely going to try Zoho Notebook and Slide Share as they provide myriads of opportunities for students to collaborate information. 

In terms of assignments or quizzes, I was wondering whether students can copy each other's work unknowingly to the teacher or does the instructor has comprehenisve monitoring, so he/she is able to detect suspicious activity when it comes to quizzes.
