Proposal Title
Ten Easy Ways to Use Technology to Explore Intersections and Promote Collaboration
Abstract
This will be a fast-paced session, part workshop, part paper, with many resources to explore afterwards. Using easy-to-master techniques, and a variety of free or low-cost technologies, you will learn about ways to connect and collaborate. You can experience a variety of cultures by taking realistic, virtual reality field trips to distant and remote locations: past and present, real and imaginary. You will see how “social” robots can address both physical and emotional challenges, enabling connections otherwise not possible. You’ll hear about how augmented reality is being used for learning about important historical turning points, generating discussion about socio-economics, stereotypes, and other kinds of controversial issues. Learn about how artificial intelligence, including smart speakers such as Amazon’s Alexa and Google’s Home Mini, and AI mobile apps, can be used as neutral, non-judgmental, methods of information gathering, individually paced learning, and motivational coaching. Those unfamiliar with these technologies and encouraged to attend. Just bring your curiosity, and an open mind, and prepare to have fun. (There will be raffle prizes.)
