As the fall weather settles in we hope you and your students have found a comfortable rhythm. We know that the world has been quite unsettled, and our thoughts go out to all the families caught up in the violence.
This issue of our newsletter covers another topic that has been on many of our minds: the advances in Artificial Intelligence. Here we offer our perspective on how we might incorporate the tool into our practice in a thoughtful way. We welcome your thoughts on how you are using AI in your schools and classrooms.
This year we plan to send our newsletter every other month, but we will continue to keep you updated on course opportunities as they arise, as well as to keep you informed on our latest thoughts on social media. So, if you haven't already, be sure to follow us on any of the platforms below.
Artificial Intelligence In The Classroom:
How to Use it Rather than Run From It
AI is here to stay, and thoughtfully used, it will be a boon to teaching and learning. Social media is abuzz with ideas for using AI in the classroom and tapping into its potential for assisting with lesson planning, suggesting topically-related activities, or producing writing prompts.
Although we may be embarking on a new era of AI-generated classroom assistance, these tools can neither reproduce nor replace the qualities of a highly skilled teacher. The heart of teaching lies in the creative, interactive, and responsive decisions and interactions that occur daily between teachers and their students.
