Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI)'s emergence is viewed as a disruptive technological advancement that has been beneficial for most educational purposes but also coupled with emerging challenges and potentially destabilizing effects. Given the unprecedented onset and surge in interests, education stakeholders are often pressured to adopt…

This paper proposes a conceptual framework for integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the curriculum. It builds on previous conceptual papers, which provided initial suggestions on integrating AI into teaching. The approach to developing the conceptual framework includes drawing on existing frameworks, AI literature, and case studies from…

Technology integration, particularly its growing popularity in PK-12 classrooms in the United States, is an ongoing issue. Studies have shown that professional development around integrating technology in the classroom can only go so far with increasing teacher workloads. Integrating technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and…

Pre-pandemic, technology integration into music lessons was helpful but not a necessity for effectively teaching elementary music. Those who believed technology integration was important for student engagement, as well as those comfortable with their technological skills, were experimenting with tools on an interactive board or through a website…

This article explores the potential uses, benefits, and challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) tools for teacher educators and their teacher candidates. It begins with a brief introduction to the topic, followed by a discussion of existing literature concerning the impact of AI on K-12 education; the importance of preparing AI-literate…

To enable all who participate in educational settings to leverage AI tools for powerful learning, this paper describes a framework and strategies for educational leaders to design and implement a clear approach to AI literacy for their specific audiences (e.g. learners, teachers, or others) that are safe and effective. The first part of the paper…

The digital transformation challenges teachers to constantly keep up to date with new technologies, often leading to a lack of time for further training and uncertainty in using these technologies. To address these challenges, this conceptual paper introduces the Teacher Copilot, a training and assistant system based on Large Language Models (LLM)…

Effective integration of technology is critical for online, blended, hybrid, and face-to-face learning. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the SETI (Socio-Ecological Technology Integration) framework and explain what it adds to the scholarly research regarding effective technology integration. The SETI framework goes beyond previous…

A predominant narrative about adult education during the COVID-19 pandemic has been about how teachers, under unprecedented hardship, endeavored to work in new ways, drawing on technology tools and digital resources to sustain instruction when they could not meet learners in person. In order to succeed, teachers had to embrace working in entirely…

Educational technology has changed the teaching and learning process in many ways. As teachers needed new strategies to adapt to emerging technology tools and to interact with students, immediate feedback and digital instructional resources had become the norm. Teaching and learning expectations are growing because of technological improvements.…

The 21st century is an exciting time for integrating technology in schools. Technology can help educators close digital use, digital design, and accessibility gaps by allowing us to tailor educational experiences to meet every learner's needs. However, technology can feel intimidating and overwhelming to many educators. Like other kinds of…

Over the years, a variety of frameworks, models and literacies have been developed to guide teacher educators in their efforts to build digital capabilities in their students, that will support them to use new and emerging technologies in their future classrooms. Generally, these focus on advancing students' skills in using 'educational'…

We have entered the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which has brought widespread digital transformation with advanced and broadened technologies including artificial intelligence (AI). To help students prosper in a world full of AI applications, it is important for us to offer students sufficient AI-integrated learning opportunities across different…

The blending of ICT in our teaching-learning process is a journey that can bring exponential growth in the progress of our nation. Due to the effect of the novel COVID-19, the teaching-learning process has shifted from face-to-face to online mode. ICT integration into the curriculum can definitely help in restructuring and reorienting the whole…

Convincing teacher educators of the need to integrate information and communication technologies (ICTs) in their classrooms has become a less arduous task in the post-pandemic era since educational institutions were forced to shift to emergency remote delivery in early 2020. As a result, it has become very significant that pre-service teachers are…
