The advent of GPT (generative pre-trained transformer) technologies, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Microsoft's New Bing, and Google's Bard, has recently sparked lively discussions in various industries. However, it is still unclear what impact the advent of GPT will have on the academic sectors. In light of this, we have undertaken a summary and…

This paper introduces generative AI for the graphic design of student presentation aids in a university public-speaking classroom. Students learn to use generative AI as an efficient enhancement to the creative process while preserving the integrity of the content. Students' slide presentations show improvement resulting from the activity, and…

The paper proposes a framework for thinking about digital technologies, including AI, in education. The framework combines Don Ihde's postphenomenology and Seymour Papert's constructionism. The former is rooted in the philosophy of technology, the latter -- in education and technology. The intersections between the two theories have been mentioned…

The following is offered as only one Indigenous person's perspective--a Yuchi Muscogee tribal member's perspective. Several questions about AI emerge when we consider it through an (not the) Indigenous lens. Where is AI's heart and where is its spirit? Does this complex, fast source of intelligence have feelings or emotions? Does machine-generated…

Technology has had a profound impact on how we listen to, create, and perform music. Among the Library of Congress' collections are wax cylinders, photographs, manuscripts, recordings, and more that document the evolution of sound technologies. Students can use these sources to assist them as they respond to and analyze music in all its historical…

According to a statistical report conducted in January 2022, TikTok is available in over 150 countries and 75 languages, and is the fastest growing social media application worldwide. As expected, such a phenomenon has given rise…

Computational technologies that process information, learn, design, and problem solve are poised to transform many aspects of life, including how we discover, educate, remember, make decisions, and even express ourselves. In the 1950s, scientists such as Marvin Minsky and Alan Turing began publishing papers that described intelligent machines.…

After years of development in the background, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has burst onto the global stage thanks to open tools for generating textual, visual, auditory, and audiovisual content. In this emerging context, AI is not only emerging as a technological phenomenon but also as a catalyst for innovation in the artistic and educational…

The history of educational technology is replete with stories of mostly White men who have conducted some of the leading innovations in the field. The stories of educational technologists from minority backgrounds have largely gone untold, perhaps giving the false impression that such individuals were not involved in this field. This article…
