This is fantastic. I’ve been underusing the potential of AI in the classroom and we are only getting started. This gives me some of my life back to focus on more student interaction and engagement.
Banning AI writing tools in English class is like when the previous generation banned calculators in math. Sure the students do need a basic feel for what will be right, but after the basics are learned, a speed up tool helps to limit the boredom, increasing student engagement.
Thanks for your presentation. You mention that the prompts you use are available. Is it possible that I could get a copy of the prompts you spoke about? I do technology support at the University of Tennessee, I'm preparing workshops to help faculty better understand what a powerful tool AI can be for their classrooms. Anything you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
This is so interesting! I'm writing a paper about AI and the Workforce rn and the articles of this man are truly enlightening! People still seem to see AI as an apparatus in which you give a task in and get a solution out that is sometimes right, but AI is so much different than that! It's a tool, and according to how it is wielded, it gives different results.
Before you proceed to education, make sure you know your territory appropriately in the space of precautions against the insufficiencies of the knowledge and the deficiencies of human perceptions. Education is the most sensitive and misunderstood notion that I know of ! Too many interest are fighting over it to gain a political advantage ! Start with health, not education. A good clinician AI won't be swayed by emotions. Doctors are so pressured from all directions and so afraid they are often unable to properly express diagnostic and prognostics, no offense to them, I'd be scared too. That's because they are not respected by the medical establishment which is too political involved and forget health issues. As long as administration solutions are admonition on medical personnel, THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE !
Thanks Ethan - it's refreshing to see someone who doesn't work in schools discuss what teachers and students need to be doing! Thanks for taking up that mantle - now I'm off to watch a video from a mechanic talking about dentistry.
If an instructor can not identify the nonsense written by a robot his students are in troubles thinking that a robot is working out the homework correctly
Interesting comment about homework when the number 1 country in the world for education has banned homework. Why is it still being given? Give kids some free time to learn about life.
