Since the release of ChatGPT, as educators we’ve faced lots of challenges, but this time is also full of possibilities. Since more educational artificial intelligence (AI) platforms and tools have been introduced, I’ve assessed a few AI tools with my colleagues and reflected on how they would impact our teaching, and I would like to share the experience of using MagicSchool and other AI tools in preparation for an elementary social studies class.
Although ChatGPT became readily accessible to the public back in November of 2022, we are still in the early days of exploring an

Many of us in Canada have seen the Heritage Minutes film about the invention of basketball by Canadian James Naismith in 1891, back when the game was played using a peach basket.
Today, inventing a sport is a little more high tech. A design firm in Portland, Oregon, recently introduced Speedgate, the world's first sport invented with the help of artificial intelligence.

It’s easy to get dismissive about educational theory. I’ve heard teachers say “Don’t bother with the theory. Just focus on practical strategies.” But when done well, theory can provide a roadmap and framework we can use. It can be a nuanced dialogue that cuts to the core of why we do what we do. The problem is that teachers are busy and the research is often dense. However, with generative AI, it is easier than ever to access theory and research in a way that is practical and relevant.
Date & Time: Thursday, May 16th at 4 pm ET The landscape of educational technology has transformed dramatically in the last year, exploding with the rise of AI tools for teachers. From streamlining student feedback to creating interactive content tools, AI-powered platforms have become essential for educators. As classrooms increasingly integrate digital tools, understanding these AI tools is crucial for teachers.

Education systems must adapt to prepare young people for tomorrow’s technology-driven economies and to help students learn alongside these emerging technologies. The World Economic Forum refers to the teaching and learning of abilities, skills, attitudes and values that are fit for the future as “Education 4.0”. Developed by a global coalition of education experts, practitioners, policy-makers and business leaders, Education 4.0 is a comprehensive framework that outlines key transformations needed in childhood education to address the needs of the future and promote better education outcomes. It consists of four sets of skills that will be needed in the future – global citizenship, innovation and creativity, technology, and interpersonal skills – as well as four sets of learning experiences – personalized and self-paced, accessible, problem-based and collaborative, and lifelong and student-driven learning. Teaching and learning that incorporates technology, particularly AI, can not only help students achieve better outcomes on technology skills but can also facilitate and enable success in other areas within the
framework.

What images come to your mind when you think of Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Popular illustrations include human-like robots, or a brain intertwined with chips and wires. However, these images
and metaphors do not accurately reflect what AI is. The field of AI encompasses a wide range of techniques and methods that perform functions we may not typically associate with it, such as
facial recognition, personalized news feeds on social media, customized suggestions and advertisements, route planning (e.g., Google Maps), and search engines (e.g., Google Search,
which uses AI to improve accuracy and relevance of search results). Generative AI is an umbrella term for any AI system that can generate content--such as images, texts, audio and codes-based on the data on which the GPT-based Large Language Model (LLM) is trained (Bender et al., 2021; Chiang, 2023). Much of the Worldwide Web on the Internet is the core dataset of current LLMs, which are then fed additional selective data to tune their responses for particular purposes.

Recent advances in generative AI have not led to a massive rise in student cheating. But fixating on cheating may cause its own problems.

"In this course, you’ll learn about generative AI, which is a type of AI that creates new content, such as text, images, or other media. You’ll explore how to use generative AI tools to assist your teaching practice by saving time on everyday tasks, personalizing instruction to meet student needs, and enhancing lessons and activities in creative ways. Gemini and ChatGPT are examples of generative AI tools that are used with conversational prompts; in other words, you ask the AI tool for something, and it responds to your request. Throughout this course, you’ll discover proven strategies for working with AI tools and practice using these tools to plan and update lessons, prepare instructional materials, manage behind-the-scenes administrative tasks, and lots more!"
In November of 2022, a Silicon Valley company launched an invention that could complete students’ homework for them. Available only to subscribers at first, by the spring of 2023 OpenAI’s ChatGPT-3.5 was available to millions of students. As of January 2023, anyone with . . .

EdTech has been a hot button topic for some time now, and the focus on generative AI in 2023 has only amplified interest in EdTech. Proponents see a plethora of ways that AI can improve education outcomes. AI’s potential for transforming education is real, but so are the dangers—so we must move forward with care and intentionality. It is with an eye toward care and intentionality that members of W2050’s Senior Fellows committee on education and work met to discuss how AI could—and how it should—impact education in 2024 and beyond.
