Arkansas State Univ. – Ideological Borders
Licensed for Use by Arkansas State University
Key Topics
local politics, school board politics, superintendent conflict, school improvement, and ELL support
Description
Navigating local politics, school board politics, pressure from the superintendent, and the general pressures of school improvement can be very challenging and emotionally draining. This film explores all of these aspects but also adds the sensitive element of community demographics that are in conflict with the political ideations of the local leaders. In this film, the principal finds herself stuck between a county commissioner focused on deporting illegal immigrants from the community, a superintendent in a contract year, and a community of Latino families who are looking to her for leadership to help their children in the ELL classroom.
Character Chatbots
The AI Character Chatbots provide an opportunity to dive deeper with a character from the film. You can use the bots to learn more about the characters, their reasoning, feelings, or to understand more about why they did what they did in the film. Approach the conversation as you would with a human being. If you are having trouble getting started, try beginning with this prompt: “I watched the film. Can you tell me more about how you were feeling when you did….”
Each of the character bots are listed below under their corresponding film name. The bots are powered by ChatGPT. You can access the bots with a free ChatGPT account but you may be limited to a set number of interactions with the free account. Click the link below to access the character chatbots.

MORAL Dilemma Coach Chatbot
The MORAL Dilemma Coach is an AI chatbot that is coded to walk you through each step of the MORAL Framework. The bot will prompt you each step of the way. At the end of the experience, the bot will provide a summary of your performance on the MORAL Framework and list areas of strength and areas for further consideration and refinement. The more you type and interact with the bot, the more useful your report will be at the conclusion of the interaction.
Click the link below to get started. When the bot launches, start the conversation with the prompt: I want to work through [FILM NAME]. For instance, if you watched Pedagogy and Prejudice, tell the bot, “I want to work through Pedagogy and Prejudice”.
