Mirǒurnauts: exploring reflective and creative digital practice to navigate pedagogy, academic identity and professional change in the era of artificial intelligence and spatial computing.

During the pandemic I considered we were engaged in an accidental form of the therapeutic practice of self-mirroring; observing ourselves and our teaching through live synchronous video platforms, which is now ubiquitous. (mirǒur: a mirror, a lens, to examine oneself) The potential impacts of this self-observation on our future teaching practice and academic identity are broad but profoundly personal journeys. (naut: a traveler, an explorer) As we confront new pedagogic and professional fears, I’m exploring how to use artificial intelligence and spatial computing to create an experiential process of reflection and journaling, drawing on meditational and therapeutic methods, to help us
understand our changing roles as contemporary educators.
