Quotes from the session
Quotes from the session
“I've been feeding in the instructions and rubrics from my assignments into Chat GPT, and then inputting what I've written so that it would actually grade me based off of that rubric and instructions for the assignment." - Herris, a student panelist from Mount Vernon School
"Our position has always been to go slow to go fast." - Paul Turnbull on Mid Pacific Institute's approach to AI implementation.
"I think Chat GPT has that opportunity to kind of be like a mentor." - Audrey, a student panelist from Mount Vernon School
“This is the chart that really stuck with me, I can't get it out of my head, it keeps churning out new questions for me. And it's this idea that when experts use AI, it increases their productivity two to five times. However, when novices are using AI, it actually decreases their productivity and decreases their output.
The question then becomes: what work is worth my cognitive load?”
- Cindy Blackburn, Toddle
