Post and discuss your response to the reflection question - What’s one way that you can use AI to support learning for all students in your classroom?
AI can help me modify lessons for all learners. I think it might be helpful in making some “take it further” type tasks for my students who already have mastered the core lesson topics for the day.
One way I can use AI to support learning for all students in the classroom is by creating differentiated activities for students on the same standard. These activities could vary in complexity, but could also vary in the type of product that is created to show their mastery of learning. AI could further assist me by creating scoring rubrics to grade the various activities that are generated. These rubrics can be shared with students for clarity in how they will be assessed as they complete the different tasks.

I like the idea of using AI as part of the writing process. For example, my multimedia students struggle with AP-style, and there are better things for them to spend their time memorizing. AI such as Murrow allows them to enter their writing and ask it to be edited for AP-style. It doesn’t write anything for them, but it does help them format their work. This lets them spend more time improving the content. Also, because Murrow is designed by journalism instructors just for journalism students, it will not give them more help than appropriate. With a standard English essay, AI can help with MLA formatting, grammar, and word choice. Helping with diction can be especially helpful for ELL students, giving them a safe place to share their writing, as the bot won’t judge, and helping them increase their English vocabulary. If students draft first by hand and then run their writing through AI and then peer review, they are getting balanced feedback and differentiated levels of help.

I want to use AI to help differentiate learning paths for students. It would be so valuable to be able to do this in my classroom where I currently don’t have the time to do it on my own. If I can use AI to assist, it would save me time and benefit my students. I also want to use AI to provide student exemplars moving forward. I don’t always have the ability to provide exemplars, so being able to use AI for this is a valuable tool, for sure. Finally, I want to use AI to assist with writing emails so that I can make sure I’m writing appropriately–especially to parents.
I was literally able to ask Chat GPT for a lesson plan on the history of Greek Theatre, then ask for it to incorporate UDL and CRT elements. It added all sorts of suggestions to help students at all levels understand the content, including methods of delivery, clarifying questions, and even ideas how students can collaborate. I can use this to find out ways to implement UDL and CRT into any lesson I’ve entered into chat gpt, and have a bunch of different methods to aid students in class at all different levels.
I have autism classes that I teach as well as my gen ed classes. I struggle adapting my lessons for my students with autism because they have such varying levels and many are nonverbal as well. I could use AI to help me modify/adapt my lessons to better meet their needs.

I can use AI to support learning for all students in my classrooms by having it created UDL and CRT lessons that students find relatable. I can recreate current lesson plans to include these two elements to help my students feel like they are included and understand that I see them and want them to feel included.
I used ChatGPT to emphasize my starting point for UDL and CRT on robotics task cards. ChatGPT gave me ideas for creating differentiated self-monitoring checklists, role cards for sharing robots and duties in teams, and culturally inclusive spooky characters from home cultures that students can select for the task. I normally make my task cards sequential from easiest to hardest, but this activity will allow for more creativity and cultural inclusion. I got some great ideas from the generative AI to make the task cards align to UDL principles too!
