I worked as an elementary school teacher for over 10 years. As I have met students in my classroom, I realized that technology can benefit students as well as teachers. Because I had a master's degree in elementary mathematics education, I started developing educational Apps for learning and teaching mathematics and broadening my territories.
Here are my projects.

Hologram Maker (2016)
Hologram Maker (2016)
What is light? It is hard to expect to listen to elementary students the right answers. From a view of STEM education, however, light is a very interesting subject that should be covered in that it can introduce a variety of concepts in physics. For elementary school students, making them play with "light" is the first step to learn about it. Here is where the hologram comes into play.
Using the pyramid that can be made by OHP film, this android app allows students to experience the hologram in a maneuverable manner. Students can make 3D text, 3D cube with their own pictures, 3D planets in our solar system as if they are real.

Abstract: Generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, have ignited global discussions and debates about potential educational impacts. By examining initial reactions to ChatGPT shared in online spaces, this study aims to deepen understanding of opportunities and concerns related to integrating such tools into education. With the keyword “chatgpt,” we searched 25 education-related subreddits on Reddit and conducted a content analysis of 7,009 posts and comments, identifying 4,397 containing reactions to the tool. Findings showed that initial ChatGPT discussions predominantly focused on perceived threats and educational applications, much less on strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities—although the discussions were multifaceted, nuanced, and contextualized.
Regarding the utilization of generative AI tools:
- I have created a customized version of ChatGPT (powered by ChatGPT-4) that allows us to give some specific instructions or "personas" into ChatGPT to produce more personalized responses (link: https://nahunhee.github.io/ChatGPT_Persona/).
- This customized ChatGPT will be deployed in my recent project titled "Utilizing Generative AI Tools to Support Early Career Teachers Facing Various Challenges in Their Teaching Practices." Within this project, I will investigate how these teachers engage with the modified ChatGPT and assess its impact on their professional development.
