Many of the concerns that educators have about student AI use involve students misrepresenting their learning and mastery by having these tools do work for them.
In the Solution Tree Master Class: Educator AI, Paul Cancellieri, a National Board-Certified eighth-grade science teacher, explores ways that teachers can build classroom structures and culture that promote the ethical use of AI.
As with any other critical skill, teachers need to become AI literate themselves and then guide students through the ways that generative AI tools can help them learn better, instead of taking them out of the learning process.
Participants will:
- See the value in providing explicit instruction to middle- and high-school students in the use of Artificial Intelligence tools.
- Explore strategies for introducing generative AI tools to their students and measuring their mastery of them.
- Develop techniques for embedding a culture of ethical AI use in their classroom experiences, so that students see the benefit of using AI as a learning tool rather than a replacement for learning.
