LearnLM and its impact on education. Do you foresee student to teacher ratios increasing as a result? I think it’s inevitable, as teachers increasingly become more efficient (and likely effective) at their jobs. One highlighted feature of what LearnLM is be able to accomplish: “On YouTube, a conversational AI tool makes it possible to figuratively “raise your hand” while watching academic videos to ask clarifying questions, get helpful explanations or take a quiz on what you’ve been learning. This even works with longer educational videos like lectures or seminars thanks to the Gemini model’s long-context capabilities. These features are already rolling out to select Android users in the U.S.”

I narrowed down my “Top 5” list of ways AI can help increase student #creativity in the classroom, which of course amplifies all sorts of other outcomes (depth of understanding, self-expression and well-being, and career skills) in a new article in Education Week. If we stay grounded with pedagogical principles, learning science, and student outcomes, I really do see how generative AI is (already) making learning personal and empowering students to bring bold ideas to life, setting them up for future success. https://lnkd.in/gtjTxcz4
