Education ~ Teachers ~ English ~ Learning ~ Motivation ~ AI
You’re already using AI!
Here are some examples:
-Your phone’s camera is much better than the old point.
-Speak to your phone and had it write a text.
Education with AI can be exciting!
Some of our tools are already using it for personalized learning. AI won’t solve every problem in education. But, it can help support learning and ensure our students are prepared for this digital age
“Doing nothing isn’t an option. Just like access to the internet or ensuring all students have a computer, who gets to use AI is the next digital divide. Some students will be taught to use AI responsibly and ethically as part of their learning. They will have access to digital tutors and AI tools that speed up their work while also enhancing their learning through personalized experiences. Others will be restricted, when the work world has already shifted to the AI reality.
“The present risk feels like, “How do we stop kids from cheating?” but the opportunity is “how can we use AI tools to improve education?” We worry about the future, “Will AI replace teachers?” but the opportunity is, “how can we rethink education in an age of AI?” ALL of these questions are true and real. We need to address cheating, while also harnessing this opportunity to improve educational outcomes. We will not replace teachers with AI, but we may augment their instruction to empower them to focus on their unique and valuable human insights and student relationships that are so vital to engaged learning.”
“With guidance, an education system may realize the potential benefits of AI to improve learning outcomes, support teacher instruction and quality of life, and enhance educational equity. Without guidance, teachers and students can be exposed to privacy violations, inconsistent disciplinary consequences, and counterproductive AI adoption practices.”
Stage 1: Create policy to address the immediate risks so that AI does not undermine learning during the coming year.
Stage 2: Facilitate organizational learning by making a small but strategic investment in harnessing the individual learning of the many educators already excited about AI.
Stage 3: Identify areas for improvements and effective transformations with potential to scale to support the education system.
“Adapt assignments, assessments, and grading, which could include features like a scaffolded set of tasks; connections to personal and/or recent content for longer out-of-class assignments; in-class presentations to demonstrate content learned, regardless of if or how AI supported that learning; appropriate citations of AI (like any other source) showing what was used and how; and some skill assessments designed to remove the possibility of AI support.” —TeachAI Toolkit Principle #3
