Innovation involves the creative and intentional application of these tools, whether new or existing, to improve processes, particularly in facilitating engagement and active learning. Together, technology and innovation aim to make learning more flexible, accessible, and engaging by aligning with educational objectives and advancing pedagogical approaches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the Presentation Formats?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Presentations at the Summit are generally brief and informal. You may submit a proposal for a session of 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes. Sessions are organized into one-hour blocks with multiple presenters. These session lengths do not include Q&amp;A time, which will be shared with other presenters at the end of the hour-long block.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All sessions are presented in a \u201cmock live\u201d fashion. A mock-live presentation is when the presenter\u202fpre-records\u202fa presentation that plays at a set time during the Summit. This helps to replicate that live feeling while allowing you to pre-record your presentation in a comfortable environment. As your presentation plays, you can engage in the Summit\u2019s live Zoom Chat. After your presentation, you will also participate in a live Q&amp;A.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>REMINDER:<\/strong> Presenters must be available to attend their mock live session and engage with Summit attendees in the Zoom chat and Q&amp;A. If you require live audience engagement for your proposed session, please indicate that on the form, and we will discuss possibilities with you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Examples of Previous Summit Presentations<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Highlighted here are two presentations from the 2025 Summit to help get your creative, critical, and intellectual juices flowing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zachary Dwyer, \u201cBrought to You By AI: Using ChatGPT to Discuss Academic Honesty\u201d<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zachary Dwyer&#8217;s presentation on using AI to teach a lesson on academic integrity in his English 104 class offered a candid look at the student-teacher relationship in the age of ChatGPT.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dwyer used ChatGPT to generate his lesson plan, including a class introduction, goals, and a writing activity. While students were comfortable using AI for tasks like summarizing readings, making citations, or answering confusing questions, they were angry that their teacher had &#8220;cheated&#8221; by not creating the lesson himself. Dwyer leveraged this dissonance for a critical teaching moment, establishing a middle ground where AI is acceptable for clarifying confusing texts or checking grammar, but unacceptable for core intellectual tasks like generating new ideas or writing essays.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ballstate.sharepoint.com\/:v:\/r\/sites\/TeachingInnovation\/Shared%20Documents\/Instructional%20Consultation\/Programming\/2025%20Teaching%20%26%20Technology%20Summit\/Recordings%20+%20Supplemental%20Resources\/Block%203%20-%20Zachary%20Dwyer\/008_Dwyer_Brought%20to%20you%20by%20AI.mp4?csf=1&amp;web=1&amp;e=P4L9Qh&amp;nav=eyJyZWZlcnJhbEluZm8iOnsicmVmZXJyYWxBcHAiOiJTdHJlYW1XZWJBcHAiLCJyZWZlcnJhbFZpZXciOiJTaGFyZURpYWxvZy1MaW5rIiwicmVmZXJyYWxBcHBQbGF0Zm9ybSI6IldlYiIsInJlZmVycmFsTW9kZSI6InZpZXcifX0%3D\">Watch Dr. Dwyers&#8217; presentation!<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dorna Eshrati and Rebekah Fortman, \u201cIntegrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Beginning Environmental Design Studios: The Impacts and Guidelines\u201d<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rebecca Fortman presented her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsu.edu\/about\/administrativeoffices\/undergraduate-research-and-creative-endeavors\/teacher-scholar-program\">Teacher-Scholar research<\/a>, exploring how AI impacts creativity, ideation speed, and critical thinking in early design education compared to traditional sketching.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forman\u2019s study challenged 16 students to design a conceptual &#8220;bird\u2019s nest&#8221; using both freehand sketching and AI tools such as DALL-E and Adobe Firefly, yielding mixed results. Students found that AI enhanced ideation speed, provided creative inspiration by encouraging unexpected forms, and improved visualization and rendering. However, students were frustrated by a lack of creative control. They struggled with prompt engineering, often finding that the AI-generated designs didn&#8217;t fully align with their original sketch or intent. Fortman concluded that AI must be embraced as a powerful discovery tool that complements traditional skills, not replace them.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ballstate.sharepoint.com\/:v:\/r\/sites\/TeachingInnovation\/Shared%20Documents\/Instructional%20Consultation\/Programming\/2025%20Teaching%20%26%20Technology%20Summit\/Recordings%20+%20Supplemental%20Resources\/Block%202%20-%20Dorna%20Eshrati%20and%20Rebekah%20Fortman\/004_TSP_SummitPresentationREDO_RFortman.mp4?csf=1&amp;web=1&amp;e=4XwaHU&amp;nav=eyJyZWZlcnJhbEluZm8iOnsicmVmZXJyYWxBcHAiOiJTdHJlYW1XZWJBcHAiLCJyZWZlcnJhbFZpZXciOiJTaGFyZURpYWxvZy1MaW5rIiwicmVmZXJyYWxBcHBQbGF0Zm9ybSI6IldlYiIsInJlZmVycmFsTW9kZSI6InZpZXcifX0%3D\">Watch Dr. Eshrati and Rebekah Fortman&#8217;s presentation!<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Educators have always relied on technology, in one form or another, to support and enhance their pedagogy. In the current educational landscape, however, the complexity of our technology far exceeds that of the past, making collaboration and learning from one another more important than ever. No single educator can know everything about teaching and technology, but if we work together, no one has to.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>What ideas are you thinking about when it comes to the intersection of teaching and technology?

With a background in composition and creative writing pedagogy, he has a particular enthusiasm for the role of communication in pedagogical processes, whether that be oral communication via class discussions, written communication via course documents, or visual\/electronic communication via document design and instructional technologies. His graduate work focused on poetry, the environment, and sustainable agriculture, and, because of that, he has a keen interest in and awareness of the value of interdisciplinary work. When he isn\u2019t thinking or talking about pedagogy, he can be found at the edge of a cornfield, writing about this strange, in-between region that is the Midwest.","url":"https:\/\/blogs.bsu.edu\/teaching-innovation\/author\/johncarter\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2025\/12\/08104754\/OpenForSubmissions1.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":914,"url":"https:\/\/blogs.bsu.edu\/teaching-innovation\/2025\/01\/22\/teaching-and-technology-summit-2025\/","url_meta":{"origin":1203,"position":0},"title":"Teaching and Technology Summit 2025\u00a0","author":"John Carter","date":"January 22, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"This blog is the first in our Summit series.
