Blog Post #4 Annotated Bibliography



    The topic of my research paper will be discussing how AI and digital technology is reshaping literacy and altering teacher’s pedagogy. It will focus on the challenges of integrating AI and the positive outcomes that can be had. This includes promoting thought-provoking ideas and topics, how to utilize AI and implementing it into our curriculum.
My thesis will be: AI and digital technology offer new ways to engage students through creative expression, critical thinking and problem solving. While positive outcomes can be numerous, they also challenge traditional methods of education.
By researching AI use, strategy of implementation, positive outcomes and negative drawbacks over various resources, I believe I will acquire the necessary skills to put it into my own discipline and content. The research that I have covered has shown AI use in all disciplinary areas but also my own, physical and health education. While some of the research and case studies do not provide direct information on how to use AI in physical education, it has sparked ideas on how I can. I think the two biggest takeaways from researching AI are: 1- It is not a bad thing to have. We need to better understand how we can safely and ethical utilize its functions and 2- Students engage more with technology they are comfortable with. 
Ultimately, I am looking forward to going further into depth on this topic and putting it forward in my own educational practices.

    Hi Sonny!

    I love the topic you chose for your research paper! I have been very interested in AI recently and have attended many professional developments hosted by my coworkers to get a better understanding of it. Many of my students are now starting to use it but in an inappropriate way. I think AI can be a very scary or negative topic when people aren't sure how to properly implement it or use it as part of their curriculum. It has assisted me so much this year with my goal work for my special ed students so I'm hoping this research can assist you with your future practices as well!

    Hi Sonny,

    I really like the topic you chose, it is super timely and intersting. Your thesis highlights how AI can engage students in new ways while challenging traditional teaching. I especially like your points that AI is not something to fear and that students are already comfortable with tech. Focusing on using AI ethically is such a smart approach. It is great how you are connecting this to physical and health education, even if the resources are not PE-specific. Your research articles cover a nice range, from libraries adapting to AI to its impact on student habits. I am excited to see how you develop these ideas further.

Blog #3 Creating a New Game

          Digital literacy goes further than simply using an application or source. In “More than Bits and Bytes” by Aguilera (2017) he states that we must evaluate what is on the screen, what’s behind the screen and what is beyond the screen. Simple engagement and the mechanics behind each piece of technology are only surface level literacies. Learning what is beyond the screen is how we take digital literacy to the next step. “By helping students deepen understandings of the world beyond the screen, we can empower students to participate in broader debates that might shape the future of digital technology in an open democracy” (Aguilera, 2017). The purpose of understanding what is beyond the screen avoids the tendency to have technology lead instruction.  In physical education, a perfect example of combining analog and digital literacies to reach a more complex goal is having students create a new game. The project has leadership roles, student-led...

Blog #2 Challenges Ahead

Challenges Ahead      Technology and the new literacy practices are great, if you know how to effectively use them to get your curriculum thru to students. Sticking a laptop in front of a student and expecting them to engage in learning is the same thing as throwing a book in front of them and telling them to read. The content is relevant but useless if the teaching strategy is outdated. Garcia (2018) states that “digital tools are secondary to the teacher’s literacy and learning goals”. As the technological world evolves, we must adapt with it. Our biggest challenge as educators is finding the balance between integrating new methods with our old. We almost have to become students with new literacies and media practices.  My attitudes and beliefs as a teacher have always been to prepare students for the next phase of life. “Classroom technology uses should more clearly mirror the kinds of work environments that we expect students to eventually encounter” (Garcia, 2...
