Kate's Take

 Several of the articles I have found surround personal device use in AI, such as Google Home or Amazon Alexa.  Today, I'm going to dig further into this to see if I want to shift to this area of thinking and focus, or learn more toward generative AI such as ChatGPT which was formerly my plan.  Chen, Y., Jensen, S., Albert, L.

 Today is an exercise in search optimization.  I've been trying different search ideas and re-ordering the words to get at the essence of what I'm trying to find.  "Definition of Artificial Intelligence" and "Artificial Intelligence Definition" are two COMPLETELY different search result.   Now, I'm searching "artificial intelligence in k-12 education" as I'm finishing up my committee question for quals and finding just a few more references to support the claims in my paper.   I spent a good part of the afternoon looking into JSTOR, ERIC, Google Scholar, etc and determining how to evaluate a journal tier beyond whether it is peer reviewed and it's a fine line.  It looks like SJR is a good resource for determined Q1 or Q2 journals so I'm trying to focus on Tier one and two.  1.      Humble, N., Mozelius, P.

 My strategy has been to mark articles as Source worth Reviewing, Useful info (with notes that are searchable, primarily advantages,    Useful info (with notes that are searchable - primarily disadvantages), examples I may want to references , and knowledge claims - as that is what we used in a previous course to determine the main points of an article and though it isn't required for my mini-bibliography, it works for me.  This was pretty helpful when referencing these articles during quals practice and I wish I would have developed this system (and a good EndNote habit) when I first entered the program.  Listen up, future IST program friends.  Figure this out early, keep notes for everything.   It will save you tons of time later (and provide a great portfolio of what you've read and where you've come.  I spend a lot of time looking for an article I've read (Dr. Bonk's massive syllabus is usually the source as I got to choose what I read t...
