Teaching children about manners and being considerate towards others can be challenging, especially for young children where their view of the world is gradually expanding from self to others. Modeling of adults is the most efficient, but I thought by adding a fun way of learning about being considerate to others through storytelling in a rhythmic way. I created a poetic story through PowerPoint about manners and the “rules of living with each other”, adapted from “Disney’s Elegant Book of Manners”. This artifact shows my ability to use media form of communication to tell stories. It shows my knowledge and skills in PowerPoint as well as scanning pictures and editing them so they can fit into the slides nicely. As technology is constantly changing, and children that we are teaching are born in the digital generation, it becomes increasingly important to use technology effectively to communicate important skills and messages to children.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
