“Learning in your institution (K-12 or Higher Ed) is about to become either: (1) Absolutely incredible, or (2) Total bullshit.” - Michael Hanegan This stark prediction captures the polarized views many hold about AI in education. Predictions like these are really beginning to come to the forefront of discussions, causing fear and uncertainty among teachers. In my eyes, the future could be so much brighter if we focus on collaboration and embrace a welcoming, progressive mentality. For the past few months, I have been dedicated to bridging this divide. Through countless interviews with both students and teachers, I've sought to understand their perspectives and needs. The future of education isn't about choosing between revolution and irrelevance. Instead, it's about collaboration and enhancement. By partnering with teachers, we aim to build tools that empower them, not replace them. Our focus is on easing the adoption of AI in ways that amplify the unique value teachers provide. Teachers, when equipped with the right tools, can guide students to recognize and reach their full potential. This mentality of one or the other is incorrect and holds us back. We need to see education and technology as partners, learning and adapting together at a pace that is effective and realistic. By embracing AI thoughtfully and collaboratively, we can transition from fear and skepticism to a future where education is indeed "absolutely incredible." Let's move forward and make this transformation a reality. Together, we can enhance the classroom experience and unlock new possibilities for both teachers and students. #EducateEducation

"large language models only scratch the surface of how AI is interwoven in our lives. From industrial AI to augmented reality, virtual reality, and the internet of things, there is scarcely a domain of human experience to which AI is not being applied. We have a limited opportunity to figure out how to harness AI’s possibilities for the better and manage it effectively — instead of waiting for AI to manage us." #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #LargeLanguageModels #ChatGPT https://lnkd.in/e6Qug7Vy

As the Director of Instructional Technology, I along with my team, are constantly reviewing edtech tools and resources. In the age of AI, it's even more critical that we are selecting the right resources for our teachers and students. What should we consider when selecting effective AI resources in the education space? 1. What does it do? 2. Does it have a solid evidence base? 3. Does it really meet your needs? 4. Does it fit your school context? 5. How was the product developed? 6. Does it prioritize equity? Kerry Friedman shares more in this EdSurge article. Definitely worth a read! https://lnkd.in/eNXteiBi
