Discussion: How can Artificial Intelligence be used in a classroom?
Instructions
Each student should post once on this discussion in response to the prompt. To get full credit, make sure you answer all of the questions in the prompt. Do more than just the bare minimum– don’t just answer each question, but put some thought or explanation into the answers. Each student should also reply to two different students. Make sure your replies are at least three sentences long. They should not just say “Good post” or “I agree” but should include a reason why the post is good or reasons why you agree. Try to reply to other posts that haven’t gotten very many replies. Make sure your posts thoroughly address the posted prompt. Your initial post is due by Thursday at 11:59 PM and your two replies are due by Sunday at 11:59 PM. The actual due date for the assignment is Sunday at 11:59, but I want to encourage students to post their initial posts by Thursday. That way there will be some posts for students to reply to. You will not be penalized as long as you have your initial post and two replies on the discussion board by Sunday at 11:59 PM. Topic
As of the last semester or two, Artificial Intelligence Tools have been readily available to students and instructors. The use of such tools is controversial, to say the least. As instructors, we have noticed some limitations of the AI tools that are currently available. For example, in another instructor’s course, a student apparently asked AI to write her self concept essay. When the instructor was grading the essay, she found the following sentence in the paper, “In terms of inaccurate perceptions people may have of me, as an AI language model, I don’t possess personal characteristics or physical appearance, so the usual perceptual mistakes associated with human interactions don’t apply.” In other words, not only was it really silly to ask a computer to write a paper that was supposed to be about the student, apparently, that student didn’t even read through the paper before turning it in. Pro Tip: you should ALWAYS proofread the paper before you turn it in. This is your chance to open up and give the rest of us an idea how you really feel about Artificial Intelligence and why. Please feel free to be honest, but keep your language civil and classroom appropriate. I will not hold anything you say in this discussion against you when I grade your assignments, I promise. Please be sure to answer all questions in your post. Note: there are not just 4 questions here. There are 9. 1. Have you used ChatBot or another tool? In what way have you used it?
2. What problems have you encountered with using AI? Have you had an assignment rejected or points taken off when using an AI tool? 3. How do you feel about Artificial Intelligence tools? Do you think using these tools is a form of cheating? Should they be banned from college classrooms?
3. Is there an ethical way to use AI tools? Please share your ideas for how these tools can be used in a classroom in a way that is educational and helpful to both students and instructors.

As a human in the modern era one can be sure we’ve all seen a family that just allows their kids to just do whatever they want with their ipad or phone. Most of these families don’t even monitor the screens of these kids’ electronic devices or who is on those devices. They could be watching YouTube, Tik Tok, or Twitter where there are influencers taking over the pages. Seeing how most of these kids are stuck in their iPads or phones their minds are still somewhat fresh which allows them to be controlled by these influencers. A person called Andrew Tate or the “top G” on social media used to be a big name during 2021-2022 trying to convince little boys(8-12) that they are men. And parents barely paid any attention to this and just walked past like nothing was happening. This inturn made it so that these kids think that they are on top, that they are the best of all time. Which leads to them having fights with their parents about bedtimes, what and what they don’t eat, not wanting to go to school, and the list goes on.
There is a place that many come to have so of the most funny, serious, sad, anger inducing, random things one will ever see anywhere else. Guess what the best part of this place is, it is technically not a physical place. It is a digital place called the internet. A place that has no limit or age requirements and this could be a problem. This means that kids of all ages can just stumble upon the wrong website that is controlled by an influencer who wants to expose their opinion on younger audiences. According to Nihal Toros Ntapiapis (professor of Communication)she concluded “The distribution and access of information have become more comfortable with the development of the technological infrastructure, and people have connected them to research from more intensive or different perspectives according to their interests’ ‘ based on his research. An influencer would pull in these kids by using the interest of the kids to lure them to listen to their opinion whether it is right or wrong. Then by stating these opinions they can alter the mindset of these youth making them think like the influencer. Cecilie Schou who led a team on the article The Link Between Social Media and Narcissism in Young Adults “One of the emergent places for young people having a say, especially among peers, is the Internet, and in particular, social networking sites and youth oriented discussion forums”. This shows that the youth feel as if they deserve to have a say in what happens in the world.
Speaking of these influencers and them altering the kids of today minds to

After reviewing this week’s learning resources, respond to the following items in several well-written paragraphs, integrating some of your learning resources from this week. You may include other sources if you wish but remember to provide in-text citations and a reference list. If you need help with APA-7 format, please refer to the APA module in the LEO classroom. 
What are some of the functions of education in society?
In what way is public education democratizing (i.e., how does it level the playing field?) and in what way(s) does it fall short?
Summarize the main points you took away from the three videos in the Week 2 Learning Resources.
Given what you have learned this week about education and the transformative effect of technology on learning and development, propose an educational model for the future. In your response, consider the following questions: What are some qualities of an excellent educational system? What of the existing educational model do you think should stay the same and what should change? What role, if any, does technology play in helping to implement your model? 

So far in this course, you have been developing a breadth of knowledge in the field of I/O psychology. You have learned about the origins of this specialization and the fundamental tools of scientific research and observation in the field. You have considered how the performance of individuals and groups can impact an organization and how identifying individual performance differences can contribute to organizational performance improvement. You have examined job satisfaction and dissatisfaction, and types of organizational commitment.
This week, you will address some fundamentals of motivation. You will explore how employees are motivated to do their work and how their attitudes and emotions influence their job satisfaction. The concept of motivation is a major field of study and application in I/O psychology. What motivates people to work? Why do you work? Money, status, power, and personal meaning are often cited as responses; yet, each person has a unique response to this question. With greater diversity within the workforce, it presents a challenge to motivate workers with different values.
An organizational leader who hopes to be successful must understand the motivations of his or her employees. How can we understand why people do what they do: what drives them? How might we influence these motives in a manner productive for the individual as well as the organization? Consider the importance not only of knowing how to understand human motivation, but of knowing how to utilize what we learn effectively.
This week, you will also examine the practice of evidence-based coaching. Coaching has become one of the fastest growing occupations in the field of psychology. This week will introduce the best practices of the evidence-based approach to coaching, including coaching a diverse workforce and coaching in the virtual environment.

_____________
This discussion topic is designed to give you the opportunity to peruse the assignment instructions for all the research related writing assignments in WRTG 394. This task will allow you to begin thinking about and planning for your WRTG 394 research writing assignments, the Synthesis Literature Review, the Research Proposal Memo, and the Research-Based Report. NOTE: This is a discussion topic designed to help you begin thinking about the three research-related writing assignments in WRTG 394. Completing this discussion topic does not complete any of the assignments discussed in this topic. This simply helps you become familiar with your assignments so that you can plan for the rest of your WRTG 394 course.
In the Assignments area of the 394 classroom, open each of the following sets of writing assignment instructions that are located in your individual assignment folders for each assignment:
Assignment: research proposal memo
Assignment: synthesis literature review
Assignment: research-based report
Please use these assignment instructions to help you answer the following questions:
Examine the Research Proposal Memo (WA#1) instructions. What permission must you request? To whom should your memo be addressed? What information about your research must you provide? Examine the Synthesis Lit Review (WA#2) instructions. This assignment calls for the student writer to use scholarly (academic) and professional (trade) sources. Explain what you understand a scholarly source and a professional/trade source to be. You should consider offering an example of each type of source.
Tke a look at the Research Report (WA#3) instructions. What additional research demands are placed upon the writer for this assignment compared to WA #2? How can you as writer best present your report so that it is most readily accessible for your primary audience?
Writing on the same topic for WA#2 and WA#3 make the writing of the research report an easier task than it would have been if different topics had been chosen. Comment on how the writing on the same topic for both these assignments can help you as you write your research report.

For the final essay, you will be asked to read three questions carefully and then choose only ONE question to answer. You will then write a thesis-centered essay of at least 500 words in response to this one question using direct quotations from both “College Students: School is Not Your Job” by Jonathan Malesic and “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action” by Audre Lorde to support your writing.
Remember to:
Develop a thesis that takes a clear stance or position in response to one of the questions.
Organize your thoughts — an outline can help do this.
Use MLA in-text citation to support your claim with quotes and paraphrases from BOTH the Lorde and the Malesic readings.
(You must use at least one cited idea from each reading).
Discuss how the citations and ideas are relevant to your thesis through close reading and personal connections/observations.
While you can also use your own observations and experiences to develop your claims,
the Malesic and Lorde readings must be the primary source for development.
After rereading the directions (above), read the three questions below carefully and then choose only ONE to answer in a thesis-driven essay.

Interaction with other people and places beyond the classroom walls is powerful in education. Using technology in the classroom can give every student a level playing field within education. Using collaborative tools can help teachers and students communicate and interact with people they otherwise would not have been able to contact or learn from.
Create a short self-paced, virtual professional development informing teachers about different digital communication and collaboration tools and how they can be used to promote interconnectedness and social/global interactions in the classroom.
Choose a grade band (K-3, 4-8, or 9-12) to use as the audience of your virtual PD. Make sure to choose resources appropriate for the grade band teachers and students.
Research free online learning tools you can use to develop the virtual PD (e.g., EdPuzzle, GoFormative, or Loom).
Select a tool and develop the PD. You must create at least one interactive component, such as, a game or quiz.
Create a minimum of two take-home resources to support the content of the professional development. These can be printed materials or a website teachers can bookmark for future reference and support.
The self-paced, virtual professional development session should provide teachers the following information:
Explanation of the collaboration and communication skills needed for students to be productive, global digital citizens. Consider the skills for students and the teachers that support them.
Links to at least three age-appropriate student communication and collaboration tools that allow for appropriate student interactions.
Provide pros and cons for using these tools in the classroom. For each tool, describe how the approach to communication and collaboration promotes global awareness in students through appropriate interactions.
Provide examples of lessons or activities that are designed to encourage students’ collaboration and communication skills. Discuss how these follow research-based best practices for students.
Support your professional development with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
Submit a link to your virtual professional development and take-home resources as one document. Ensure your virtual PD is accessible by others and provide any needed directions to your instructor.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
