Summary
It seems like every tech tool we use has now integrated generative artificial intelligence. Open a Google Doc, you're prompted to use Gemini to help you write. Read a post on Facebook, Meta prompts you to "ask anything" via their AI. It's powering our phones and our email, and the customer support chatbots on nearly every website when shopping online and even with utility companies.
AI is everywhere, and it's designed to help save everyone time. So, why not let it help you in your role as a teacher, too?
I talked at length in episode 304 about the pros, cons, and drawbacks of AI, so if you're worried about AI, please make sure you listen to that episode for the context.
In this episode, though, I want to show you possibilities. That's my job. Your job is to decide what's right for you and your classroom.
So let's talk about possibilities.
Listen in for 5 easy ways I see currently for AI as a tool to automate teachers' workloads:
- Differentiation
- Assessment
- Writing
- Tedious tasks
- Creative expression
