I typed “AI in your phone” on YouTube and choose “10 INSANE AI Apps You NEED to TRY!” by Sam Beckman since it is highly related to my topic. In this video, Sam provided 10 apps we can download on our phone that contains AI, and those apps are incredibly useful in our daily life or at work. For example, he introduced an app called Starryai, which can generate artwork based on the prompt we type in.
The interaction required from the students would be to ask them to download 1 to 2 apps listed in the video and try to make some work using those apps. They would likely follow the instructions in the video, and produce their work. I would suggest they create similar work as shown in the video, to let them get familiar with AI apps, but no need to force them to learn deeply about each app, because my learning objective is to help students to recognize how AI is used in our phones.
This activity is manageable and worthwhile because the only thing they need to complete the activity is their phone. Also, learning by doing is a great strategy for students to learn and feel the usefulness and coverage of AI. This activity could be scaled for larger numbers of students, because it is not a group project, and it is an asynchronous activity.
After they tried those apps, I would like them to submit their AI generated work to BrightSpace, and also conclude some similarities about those apps. For example After they tried those apps, I would like them to submit their AI-generated work to BrightSpace and also conclude some similarities between those apps. For example, they both take some kind of input and then generate corresponding outputs. Their submission can be seen by other students in this course if they are comfortable doing so, and there will be a discussion page for them to do peer review and be given feedback from me.

Indeed, by downloading and using these applications, we can more intuitively feel the skills of artificial intelligence and how to bring convenience to humans on mobile phones.
Likewise, uploading artwork to Brightspace from prompts students enter on the app is a good way to test student engagement.
I like your learning activities very much. Students can download 1 or 2 apps and try to do some work with the programs. This will familiarize them with artificial intelligence and also increase the fun. This form of interaction between AI and students can enhance students’ understanding of AI. I agree with you on this issue of feedback and activity. These activities may increase workload. But feedback is important for students and teachers. This allows students and teachers to collaborate and better improve learning plans. Activities add fun to learning, which can help students gain a deeper understanding of knowledge.
Hi Summer! Thank you for sharing that fantastic video and learning activity! It looks like such a fun way to create artwork, especially using the AI app on your phone. I’m so excited to give it a try myself! At the same time, while AI can certainly be helpful for many things, there are some drawbacks when it comes to creativity. For example, relying too heavily on AI-generated ideas or artwork can limit our own creative thinking and originality. It’s important to use AI as a tool to enhance our own abilities rather than replace them entirely. What do you think?
Your activity and mine goes in the same direction in terms of teaching. I think it is a good idea, especially taking our objective and targeted audience into thinking, to let users of the resource get warm with AI. I believe AI to be a double edge blade, it can make or break a persons creativity and “delligency.” I think when this activity is assigned, some questions should be asked to the student to make them ponder would be: “After completing this assignment: do you think that AI can become a replacement that completes all assigned work to you? And do you think AI can replace humans? If so, why? If not, why?
