Customizable Shelving Order Game

#

This game is based on the game Order in the Library game (a Flash-based game) and the Shelve-It game by Mrs. Lodge’s Library.

The biggest modification to the play of the game is the ability to customize the books being put in order by providing your own list of tiles and call numbers. This means you can highlight titles in your own library collection, like the most popular titles, new titles, or practice with your specific shelf order.

This game is also an exploration of how to create with the newly-release Canva AI Coding tool.

Figurive vs Literal Language

#

This project serves 2 purposes: creating another interactive game that supports the emerging literacy skill of identifying literal versus figurative language.

It also served as an professional growth activity for AI Co-Lab activity. We are working together to test not only AI but investingating Canva’s deployment of code.

Quick-deploy websites using AI

#

This project was prompted by a conversation I was having with another member of my Ph.D. cohort. We discussed how AI can generate websites very quickly, and I chatted with her about how to write a quick prompt to generate a website appropraite for a Ph.D. portfolio. She uses Claude, and shared the results with me. I decided to follow the same prompt and then we compared results, noticing that we received very different websites. Hers was a one-page site, mine was multi-page. Hers used a much more limited palate than mine as well. The results can be seen below.

Next steps for this process will be to investigate how Gemini and ChatGPT generate these websites as well. This will be limited to more general tools versus site generation by tools that are more specifically used for design (such as Gamma, Canva, or Lucid).
