Teachers Told Us They\u2019ve Used AI in the Classroom. Here\u2019s Why<\/strong><\/a> — from edweek.org by Lauraine Langreo<\/p>\n

One-third of K-12 teachers say they have used\u00a0artificial intelligence-driven tools in their classroom, according to an EdWeek Research Center survey of educators conducted between Nov. 30 and Dec. 6, 2023.<\/p>\n

Of those who said they\u2019ve used AI tools, 21 percent said they\u2019ve used them a little, 10 percent said they\u2019ve used them some, and 2 percent said they\u2019ve used them a lot, according to the survey, which included 498 teachers.<\/p>\n

…
\nHere\u2019s how and why some educators say they\u2019ve been using AI tools in the classroom:<\/p>\n

What will the world look like when AI can do in minutes what we can do in 3 weeks (or longer)? That time is here.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0— from stefanbauschard.substack.com by Stefan Bauschard
\nAre we preparing students for a world where most existing knowledge work will be done by machines?<\/em><\/p>\n

I see education heading down one of two paths.<\/p>\n

Path 1<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 We keep telling the teachers AI cannot do their jobs because it can\u2019t do everything humans can do, and we keep telling kids that learning with AI is cheating and that they will amount to nothing if they use AIs to help do their work.\u00a0This path is a path toward the irrelevance of educational institutions<\/strong>. AIs can and will be able to do most of what we do. AIs may not be able to do everything as well as us, but at least a lot of the things we do, they will be able to do better.<\/p>\n

Path 2<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 We help students and teachers understand the world that is emerging around them.\u00a0Level with them<\/strong><\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0Explain that\u00a0the future of<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0every single job is uncertain<\/strong><\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0Explain that in past technological revolutions<\/em>\u00a0that occurred over a much longer period of time than this,\u00a0many\u00a0people lost their jobs<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0Explain that society is about to be substantially disrupted, probably in greater ways than it ever has been before<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0and certainly faster than ever before<\/strong>. Inform them that every \u201cfuture of employment\u201d report identifies soft\/ durable skills and AI technology skills as the known job skills of the future.\u00a0Let them know that the future economic value of all knowledge work is uncertain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThough this next item is not about AI in our learning ecosystems, it caught my eye because having educators use their networks to help sponsor their students seems like a great way to help marginalized students get employed and ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

The job market is changing. Here\u2019s how educators can help students keep up.<\/strong> <\/a>— from kqed.org by Nimah Gobir<\/p>\n

Ana Homayoun, an early career development expert and author of\u00a0Erasing the Finish Line: The New Blueprint for Success Beyond Grades and College Admission<\/i><\/a>, said that educators can\u00a0support students<\/a>\u00a0from marginalized identities by proactively providing resources and support. \u201cOur role as sponsors is really important,\u201d said Homayoun. \u201cThat\u2019s a term that I use to describe this idea of creating opportunities for economic growth.\u201d She added that sponsorship includes identifying students that might be facing barriers and leveraging one\u2019s network to give them a leg up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
