7 Ways Teachers Can Harness the Power of AI for Learning

Welp. It’s here.

When the industrial revolution ushered in massive changes to the way we worked, maybe folks didn’t see it coming.

With the AI revolution, we’ve seen it all along. We discussed how to handle these changes and what we would do “if” this happened.

And while artificial intelligence has been permeating many parts of our lives for a few decades now, it has ramped up at warp speeds over the last few months.

ChatGPT is an AI platform that we ALL can use so easily and quickly to learn and create. It has brought the future to the present and many outdated practices that we’ve been doing in education and work (because that’s how we’ve always done it) are going to fade away fast.

As George Couros has said, “We can use change as an opportunity to make learning better”.

That’s what this video/podcast is all about.

Sure, we can be worried about the future, our jobs, and everything else that artificial intelligence may threaten.

But, right now is the perfect time to adopt, embrace, and use this technology to its fullest learning potential.

Our students (and all of us) have not only a wealth of information at our fingertips but also the creative output and potential that the world has never seen.

It doesn't mean we shouldn't be careful. Of course, we should, now more than ever. A recent study came out saying 96% (yes, you read that right) of school tech exposes student data...

So, when folks say this is something we have to look into with ChatGPT, I agree. I also would say look at what you are currently using just as much as any new technology that comes out.

However, we know that since this tool can be used at home, on personal devices, and on phones -- that it will be used. I loved this perspective from Garnet Valley Superintendent Dr. Marc Bertrando in an email/letter to the community.

If it is going to be used, then let's use it for learning purposes as much as we can. Check out the video as I go into detail on some specific ways to do that right now:
