AI and AIED. What are we really talking about? agnelloed.com/2023/06/13/ai-… A primer for #K12 #teachers on #AI in the classroom. #teachertwitter #edtech #edtechchat #education #aieducation #aied

Some key findings from an important meta review of AI in Higher Ed, published a few days ago: 1. Adaptive Systems and Personalization: We're seeing a broader rollout of personalized instruction and support that use AI to adapt to individual needs. 2. Chatbots/virtual assistants to enhance accessibility: Students are using these AI in the form of automatic speech recognition, text-to-speech, and sign-language interpretation. 3. Early Detection: Campuses are also using AI to help with early intervention, such as detecting anxiety and depressive symptoms (yes this raises ethical considerations, a major theme in the study). Globally, higher ed institutions are starting to use motion tracking to assess student behavior--including attention and emotions. Admins are also using profiling & prediction tools to manage retention, academic achievement, and student satisfaction. Some studies look at the use of AI to identify study readiness. 4. Assessment and Evaluation: This is the most common use of AI in higher ed. Faculty are using AI in student assessment, feedback, and evaluation of learning outcomes. Automatic AI-assessment is becoming more common. Automated feedback is increasing as well. 5. Evaluation of teaching: Some institutions are using AI to "identify low-quality feedback given by educators" and "flag repeat offenders." TOP 6 BENEFITS - personalized learning - insight into student understanding - impact on learning outcomes - reduced planning & admin time for teachers - greater equity - assessment & feedback TOP 5 CHALLENGES - lack of ethical considerations during implementation - curriculum dev - infrastructure - lack of teacher technical knowledge - shifting authority This is an important update, IMO.

Students’ voices are pretty absent from the AI in school conversation. Love how this article spotlights some. @educationweek

Increasingly finding that the one thing that most makes managers panic about AI is showing them, not the advanced features of GPT-4, but rather the fact that Copilot for Office can create an OK PowerPoint with speaker notes from a document in 47 seconds. This is all real time.

4: I love this, mom! It’s an old treasure, right?! 🏴‍☠️⚱️ 😩💀 #millenial #TechTrends

😭

Can anyone guess what my emergent speller is spelling? Hints: invented by a teacher, highly popular in the 90s, banned by lots of schools 🧐 #literacy #teachertwitter

For a quick moment, imagine you were born in 1900. When you are 14, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until you are 20. Fifty million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million. When you're 29, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, global GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet. When you're 41, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war and the Holocaust kills six million. At 52, the Korean War starts and five million perish. At 64 the Vietnam War begins, and it doesn’t end for many years. Four million people die in that conflict. Approaching your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could well have ended. Great leaders prevented that from happening. As you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? A child in 1985 didn’t think their 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. Yet those grandparents survived through everything listed above. Perspective is an amazing thing. With so much happening right now and as 2023 ends, let's try to keep things in perspective, knowing that we will get through all of this. In the history of the world, there has never been a storm that lasted forever. This too shall pass.

This GPT is awesome

the GPT store is live! openai.com/blog/introducing-… fun speculation last night about which GPTs will be doing the best by the end of today.

Heads up #ELAteachers . Just interviewed for a new marketing content writing gig and was asked how I’m using #GenAI tools in my writing process. These skills are in demand, so may be best to model/encourage productive use rather than police all use. #ChatGPT #aied @ncte

Help needed: a teacher has asked me for suggestions for short stories for 10th graders. Any suggestions?

I’ll be here for the rest of the winter. #booklover #book #bookworm #reading
