The Padlet was an extremely useful digital tool for this project. It allowed me to compile a collection of appropriate resources that aligned with the research goals. I was able to pre-select the materials and organize them in a way that made it easy for students to access and use them effectively.
Artifical Intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence (AI) played a key role in enhancing this digital age project by streamlining the creation of student research resources and supporting lesson planning. Specifically, I leveraged AI to generate targeted informational passages for student research.

This ensured the generated text was both accessible and directly relevant for student research and note-taking.
Beyond student resources, I also utilized AI to draft the project summary itself and to brainstorm various strategies for differentiating my daily lessons to meet diverse student needs. I found that the more specific and detailed the information I provided in my prompts to the AI, the more tailored and useful the resulting output was
