• Abstract: While mathematical creative writing can potentially engage students in expressing mathematical ideas in an imaginative way, some elementary school-age students struggle in this process. Generative AI (GenAI) offers possibilities for supporting creative writing activities, such as providing story generation. However, the design of GenAI-powered learning technologies requires careful consideration of the technology reception in the actual classrooms. This study explores students' and teachers' perceptions of creative mathematical writing with the developed GenAI-powered technology. The study adopted a qualitative thematic analysis of the interviews, triangulated with open-ended survey responses and classroom observation of 79 elementary school students, resulting in six themes and 19 subthemes. This study contributes by investigating the lived experience of GenAI-supported learning and the design considerations for GenAI-powered learning technologies and instructions.

  AI-based storytelling and reading technologies are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in preschoolers' lives. This paper investigates how they function in practical storytelling and reading scenarios and, how parents, the most critical stakeholders, experience and perceive them. Our findings suggest that even though AI-based storytelling and reading technologies provide more immersive and engaging interaction, they still cannot meet parents' expectations due to a series of interactive and algorithmic challenges.

  Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) holds promise for humans to be more creative by offering new ideas, or less creative by anchoring on GenAI ideas. Access to GenAI ideas causes an increase in the writer's creativity with stories being evaluated as better written and more enjoyable. However, GenAI-enabled stories are more similar to each other than stories by humans alone.
