AI Goes Rural ​
​Funded by Department of Defense
This project is focused on co-designing AI Curriculum with K-12 teachers focusing on how AI is involved in students' lives and the ethics surrounding AI for middle schoolers in rural communities. Our goal is to give students and teachers a basic understanding of AI for use in their Digital Citizenship or Computer Science classes. We are interested in designing meaningful and appealing curricula for middle schoolers in rural communities.

Intelligent Augmented Cognition for Teaching (I-ACT)
​Funded by NSF
I-ACT project seeks to consider how artificial intelligence technologies can support teachers in their work to help students engage in deep, collaborative, authentic, and meaningful science learning. Our goal is to better understand how AI might come to play a role in the future K-12 STEM classroom in ways that support teachers in engaging students in rich, deep, and collaborative inquiry learning.

Net.Create
Funded by NSF
Net.Create is real-time network visualization tools that can offer a promising collaboration platform to encourage co-construction of the connections within texts. The aim of this project was to provide a deeper understanding of how a network analysis tool  might function to mediate students’ collaboration at both the small group and whole class (i.e., large group) level as they explore the details of a text through network creation and analysis.

PBL-Tech 
​Funded by U S. Department of Education
PBL-Tech has explored how technology can support the implementation of PBL strategies for both teachers and K-12 students. There are several recommendations we make for the types of tools that could assist teacher education faculty with implementing and modeling PBL with their students.
