In Freshman Seminar, they have 'Fun Fridays' and the games have gotten a lot of use already! They love playing Taboo because it is very similar to a popular game on TikTok called, Imposter. A large group will play this game while another group will play a different game. They have laughed very hard while playing What Do You Meme?. \r\n\r\nThe stickers have been great rewards for all of my students. I give them out when playing review games, if a student wins the round.

The cell phone holder is probably one of the most used items in my classroom. It provides a safe and easy place for students to put their phone, so they are not tempted by them during class.

They utilized the generative AI model of their choice, namely ChatGPT, to identify credible sources for the project.
