Acknowledgements

I would like to extend my gratitude to Boise State University for supporting the book-writing project during my sabbatical, without which this book would not have been possible. I am deeply thankful to Dr. Yu-Hui Ching for her insightful feedback, editing guidance, and encouragement throughout the writing process. Her wisdom has significantly enhanced the depth of this work, allowing it to better support fellow educators as they navigate the evolving landscape of generative AI.

I am also appreciative of the technologies and tools that both inspired and supported this project. In particular, I used GenAI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini (Bard), Copilot (Bing Chat), and Perplexity to brainstorm ideas, refine the book’s structure, and get suggestions for polishing drafts. Moreover, I relied on traditional tools such as library databases and search engines for further research and validation. In addition, the graphics on the front and back covers were generated using ChatGPT and DALL·E. These tools played an invaluable role in shaping this open-access ebook, and I hope it serves as a meaningful resource for educators in this new era of AI-driven innovation.
