Almost all school superintendents (97 percent) say that schools have an obligation to teach students how to use AI effectively and responsibly. Still, only 37 percent have a plan for incorporating AI instruction in the classroom, according to the 2024 Voice of the Superintendent Survey released by education company EAB at the School Superintendent Association (AASA) National Conference on Education.

Eighty-four percent say teachers in their districts are concerned about students using generative AI to cheat and take shortcuts.

“EAB’s report confirms that teacher shortages, behavioral disruptions, worsening student mental health, and other familiar challenges are so pervasive that exploring how new technologies such as AI can help doesn’t even make the ‘to-do’ list,” said EAB Senior Director of K-12 Research Ben Court.

Superintendents indicated that staffing issues remain their most pressing problem. Roughly half (52 percent) say the number of teacher vacancies has increased over the past 12 months, and two-thirds (66 percent) say the number of vacancies for noninstructional staff has increased.

A rise in work absences among teachers further compounds the staffing shortage. Nearly half (48 percent) of districts report an increase in missed workdays among instructional staff over the past year, while 55 percent of districts report an increase in missed workdays among noninstructional staff.

The survey also showed there has been little relief from rising rates of disruptive behavior and student absenteeism that soared during the pandemic. Sixty-four percent cite no improvement while 42 percent say rates of absenteeism have increased over the past year. Similarly, 76 percent of superintendents report no improvement in disruptive behaviors while 57 percent say disruptive incidents have increased.

“EAB continues to work with district leaders to share data and best practices on how to overcome these perennial problems so they can focus on teaching students the skills they need to succeed,” Court continued.

Many educators are cautiously optimistic about AI, indicating that they’d like more guidance to effectively integrate it into their instructional strategies. But while generative AI tools like ChatGPT have dominated conversations for the past year, there are many classroom tools that have quietly used AI to deliver personalized and targeted learning to students.

Let’s take a look at some classroom tools that are already leveraging AI for efficiency and learning outcomes:

Tutor.com‘s Multi-Tiered System of Supports focuses on moment-of-need in its first tier and provides immediate and comprehensive support when students need it most. This includes on-demand tutoring along with AI tools that offer feedback on written work. These AI tools help students fine-tune their essays before they connect with a live tutor or before they submit their assignments to teachers. AI Writing Review enables students to submit their drafts for lightning-fast feedback. This tool was trained in instructional methodology honed over the course of 26+ million tutoring sessions that Tutor.com has delivered. It doesn’t rewrite a student’s work, but rather provides insightful guidance about how (and where) the student can make revisions to improve an essay’s style, structure, and composition. Students get summary feedback–with advice addressing areas such as flow and transitions, showing vs. telling, conciseness and redundancy, use of imagery, grammar and syntax, and more–along with line-by-line feedback, in which certain excerpts are highlighted with suggestions for revision displayed in mouseover text.

Carnegie Learning’s MATHia gives educators real-time feedback and assessments to help them understand where students are and where they’re headed. MATHia is an intelligent math software supported by sophisticated AI technology and is designed to provide individual student support and insightful data. MATHia adjusts to every action students take in the software to meet them where they are and help them progress.

If you’ve ever used AudioPen to dictate feedback on student work, you’ve been using AI. AudioPen is an AI-powered tool that converts voice notes into text that’s easy to read and ready to share with students and fellow teachers.

Students in a classroom learn and consume information differently. Educators who use the Chrome extension Brisk are using AI to ensure information is accessible to all learners. Clicking on the Brisk extension lets teachers see the reading level of any text on the internet. Brisk uses the length of sentences and the vocabulary used in the text to determine what age level the text is appropriate for. Brisk shows up on any news article teachers land on and is accessible on most sites, which makes changing the text’s reading level as easy as clicking a button. When educators convert an article, Brisk will automatically populate it in a new Google Doc for them to then share with their students. Teachers also can have Brisk use the article to generate additional materials, like a reading comprehension quiz.

Duolingo, a popular language-learning app, has literally been using AI for years. AI is behind the app’s ability to personalize learning for its users, leveraging data around their strengths and weaknesses to create more engaging and productive learning experiences. AI helps Duolingo analyze user responses to identify common grammar mistakes and make corrections and suggestions, and analyze the sounds and patterns of users’ speech for targeted feedback on their pronunciation. It’s also behind the auto-suggest in Stories freeform writing exercises, which helps learners learn to write in the language they’re learning. Using AI, Duolingo is able to provide access to high-quality education in places where students don’t have access to good schools and teachers, and enables students to certify their English proficiency in places where accessing test centers is either challenging, or impossible. The company is fully committed to using AI for good.

To date, only six states have formulated a comprehensive AI policy absent federal guidance for districts to look to, according to findings from The 2024 Administrator AI Report: Perceptions, Practices, and Potential in Education, a new report from digital curriculum solution provider Imagine Learning. The report aims to identify administrators’ perceptions on the benefits and advantages of generative AI and benchmark its current rate of adoption.

Although several organizations, such as the CoSN, ISTE, and the Council of the Great City Schools have released generative AI guidelines and best-use practices for K-12 educators and districts, according to the report, 47 percent of administrators are planning to implement comprehensive policies on their own and 54 percent have indicated they would also like help from education solutions providers to reduce risks and concerns associated with generative AI.

One-third of administrators also expressed a desire for education companies to publish and use a code of ethics when developing generative AI, while 36 percent plan to implement guiding frameworks for adoption and use within their schools. 

These findings suggest the need for a strong call-to-action to increase technology use and services, as well as training and official guidance for safe AI implementation in schools, with education solution providers at the forefront of this push alongside schools.

Other notable findings from Imagine Learning’s report indicate the following sentiments and intentions from administrators: 

• AI’s Net Positive Outlook in Education: 64 percent of administrators believe generative AI will positively impact education, with only a minimal number (5 percent) planning to ban it.
• Positive Student Engagement with Generative AI: The majority of students using generative AI use it ethically to improve knowledge, with research (70 percent), writing refinement (65 percent), and creating study aids (55 percent) as top uses.
• Easing the Burden on Teachers with Personalized Learning and Efficiency: Over one-third of administrators recognize generative AI’s role in creating personalized learning materials and saving time, a significant priority in K-12 education. 
• Supporting Teachers and Curriculum Development: 50 percent see generative AI aiding in lesson planning, with notable contributions to idea generation and individualizing lesson materials that aid teachers in completing repetitive tasks, easing teacher burnout. 

“Districts are willing to integrate AI into their classrooms, but currently lack the proper resources, governance, and training needed to do so successfully,” said Sari Factor, Chief Strategy Officer at Imagine Learning. “Our survey reveals a critical opportunity for shaping AI’s role in education. It’s a collective call to action, urging us to work alongside policymakers and education organizations to craft guidelines that ensure AI’s integration is as responsible as it is transformative.”

The results are encouraging when it comes to analyzing how AI might improve teachers’ day-to-day experiences.

“While protecting students’ data privacy is a top concern and priority in the digital age, we’re very excited that teachers and administrators see the benefits of AI use in the classroom,” Factor added. “Teachers are under so much pressure today, and the question must be, ‘How can we support teachers and lighten their loads using AI to drive personalized learning and lesson plan creation to improve student engagement and achievement?’” 

“This survey isn’t just about understanding AI’s role in education—it’s a roadmap for responsible implementation,” said Kinsey Rawe, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Courseware & Instructional Services. “By understanding firsthand how AI tools enhance teaching and learning, we’re poised to guide the development of policies that are both innovative and attuned to the real needs of educators and students in a digital-first learning environment.” 

Consistent with recent findings from Imagine Learning’s 2023 Educator AI Report, both teachers and administrators recognize the potential for generative AI to alleviate much of the burden currently impacting teachers.

As we step into 2024, the educational landscape is just beginning to feel the transformative shift brought on by generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI). This year marks a significant milestone in integrating advanced AI technologies into educational practices, heralding a new era of teaching and learning. Gen AI is set to revolutionize the way we approach education.

The rise of generative AI in education

Gen AI is a type of AI that can create new content, from text to images, audio, video, code, 3D models, and more. It is a game changer for all industries due to its ability to produce original outputs.

Gen AI is revolutionizing education by offering a range of capabilities that cater to diverse learning needs and styles. Here’s a non-comprehensive overview:

• Text generation: From drafting lesson plans to creating formative assessments, Gen AI can produce a wide range of written content and aid educators in curriculum development.
• Visual content creation: Gen AI can design images, graphics, and diagrams, useful for visual learning aids. Canva has a host of AI features in their Magic Studio that assist with graphics creation.
• Audio production: Beyond text, Gen AI can create spoken audio content, music, and sound effects, enhancing auditory learning experiences. SpeechKi turns any text into audio with realistic AI voices.
• Video production: AI can produce videos, making multiple means of representation possible for a teacher to provide learners. I have had great luck with Pictory for creating quick and easy visual representations of content.
• Personalized learning materials: Gen AI makes it easy to tailor educational content to individual student needs; it can adapt materials based on difficulty levels, interests, and learning styles. Try asking a Gen AI chatbot such as ChatGPT to customize text to a specific reading level.
• Language translation: Gen AI can translate educational materials for diverse language needs, making learning more accessible and inclusive.

In essence, the rise of Gen AI in education signifies the potential to shift towards more dynamic, inclusive, and personalized learning experiences. However, due to the original outputs, it also presents a challenge to traditional educational methods with focus on memorizing content. Students often demonstrate their learning through written explanations in the forms of short answer questions and essays. Gen AI is flipping this on its head. 

Demonstrating learning in the AI era

The advent of Gen AI in education is reshaping the way we assess and demonstrate learning. The traditional methods of testing and evaluation must evolve to accommodate the capabilities of AI. Demonstrating learning needs to move from testing memorization to showcasing transferable skills. This shift has the potential to make assessments more engaging and more reflective of real-world skills and knowledge application.

In this new era, educators are exploring innovative assessment methods that emphasize critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. AI-assisted tools can provide real-time feedback, enabling personalized learning experiences that adapt to each student’s progress. Project-based assessments, peer reviews, and interactive simulations offer students opportunities to demonstrate their understanding in diverse and meaningful ways.

Moving away from traditional memorization-based methods, educators are exploring how to evaluate students’ ability to apply knowledge in practical, real-world scenarios:

• Project-based learning: Students can work on real-world problems, using AI as a tool to analyze data, predict outcomes, and propose solutions. This hands-on approach fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Reflective learning: AI can prompt students to reflect on their learning journey, guiding them to articulate their thoughts and feelings about the material learned. This reflective practice helps students internalize their learning and develop metacognitive skills.
• Real-time feedback: One of the significant advantages of AI in education is the ability to provide immediate feedback. This instant response helps students quickly understand their mistakes and learn from them, promoting a growth mindset.
• Ethical and critical engagement with AI: As students interact with AI tools, they also learn to critically evaluate the information and outputs provided by these systems. This critical engagement is essential in an era where digital literacy and ethical considerations around AI are becoming increasingly important.

These evolving assessment methods, empowered by AI, not only cater to the diverse needs of learners but also align with the skills required in a technologically advanced society.

Preparing educators and students for a world of AI

The integration of Gen AI into education necessitates a shift in how educators and students interact with technology. Educators need to be equipped with the skills and knowledge to effectively incorporate AI tools into their teaching methodologies. This includes understanding how to use AI for content creation, personalization of learning experiences, and assessment, as well as being aware of the ethical considerations and limitations of AI.

Students need to be prepared to navigate an AI-enhanced world. This involves not only leveraging AI tools for learning but also developing critical thinking skills to discern the quality and reliability of AI-generated content.

The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) plays a crucial role in this transition. As a leading voice in advancing innovative teaching and learning, CoSN provides valuable resources and support for educators to navigate the new AI-enhanced educational paradigm. Educators can explore a wealth of information on effectively navigating this new normal at CoSN’s AI in Education resource page.

What lies ahead

2024 stands as a watershed year for the integration of Gen AI in education. This technology’s transformative potential extends beyond just enhancing teaching methodologies; it reshapes the very way we demonstrate and assess learning. As we embrace the opportunities presented by AI, it’s imperative to prepare both educators and students for this new era. The journey ahead is filled with possibilities to improve educational outcomes and foster a more engaging, inclusive, and adaptive learning environment.

Misconception: AI will encourage students to cheat.
Truth: Educators need to reconsider how they assess student work.

By Carl Hooker

One of the biggest misconceptions about AI in education is that it will encourage students to cheat and cause academic integrity concerns. Did students cheat before AI was around? Yes. Could students use generative AI tools like ChatGPT to cheat and cut corners on an assignment? ABSOLUTELY. However, there are a couple of major problems with this line of thinking.

The first is an equity concern. Educators find it socially acceptable for a student to hire a tutor to help them write their college admission essay. We also accept the fact that, many times, a parent helps build their 4th-grader’s science fair project. In both of these instances, we don’t consider it cheating. However, if a student uses generative AI to help them edit their college admission paper or brainstorm a science fair idea, there’s a belief that it is dishonest. By considering human-assisted help fair but computer-assisted help not fair, we create an equity gap.

The second reason why cheating with AI is being mishandled is the belief that it will encourage students to cheat. This is akin to saying that a vape will encourage students to smoke. If you take the vape away, you still don’t address the behavior. The same is true with AI.

Rather than focus on students using technology to cheat, educators should reflect on what they are assessing. Are they truly measuring student learning or is it a compliance-based assignment or worksheet? Is the “process” being evaluated with the same or greater care than the final “product?” By focusing evaluations on the process of learning instead of the product, educators can not only prevent AI-assisted cheating, but they can also better evaluate a student’s understanding of a particular topic.

Misconception: AI will eliminate jobs.
Truth: It will create more jobs, with different requirements.

By David McCool

The simple misconception is that AI will eliminate jobs, but really it will create more jobs, with different requirements, than it will eliminate. These new jobs will disproportionately require durable skills like critical thinking and collaboration, making it more important than ever for people to learn these skills and, if they can, display them for employers by earning microcredentials.

As we continue into an AI-driven world, students, employees, and jobseekers need to stay agile and competitive in the marketplace, so upskilling is essential. Microcredentaling your durable skills will demonstrate your abilities for future jobs like Sentiment Analysis, Content Creators, and AI roles that require durable skills and cannot be automated. In many industries, AI will simply change the nature of available jobs. For the most part, those transformed jobs will be more engaging than the menial tasks they’re replacing. Manufacturing workers, for example, may be freed from the production line where they used to watch for defective products all day to instead spend their time improving processes using insights gained from AI systems.

AI’s role in education has changed, and not everyone understands what it can do. A discovery we made during the pilot of our durable skills course SkillBuild by Muzzy Lane is that learners were unaware that AI was guiding them to improve based on their input. They were appreciative when they found out that, in our microcredential courses, AI helps learners by providing the extra assets and feedback they need to perfect their durable skills—pushing them to the top of today’s changing job market.

Misconception: AI is a static tool.
Truth: AI is constantly evolving.

By Wilson Tsu

What I see people getting wrong the most about AI is thinking that what it is now is what it will be in the future. Take Open AI, for example. Going from ChatGPT, which was released in November 2022, to GPT4 in March 2023 was a huge leap in capability. When ChatGPT came out and educators really started digging into it, they may have thought, “It’s not going to pass my class like a human would, so I don’t have to worry about this.” And then only a few months later, they saw that GPT4 could pass their class. And now Open AI has announced that people will be able to create their own GPTs. We don’t know the extent to which that’s going to change things, but it’s a huge step.

My point is that you can’t think in static terms when it comes to AI. It’s changing so fast, and there’s so much investment in AI right now, so many resources, so many smart people working on it, that as soon as you think you know what’s going on, it’s going to drastically change. And it’s changing so fast that no one can even really know what’s going on, except for a small handful of people who work deeply in it. To me, the biggest truth about AI right now is that as soon as we think we have a grasp on it, it’s going to be different.

Technology plays a crucial, and expanding, role in today’s schools. The availability of tech tools, including those with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, continues to grow – as do their potential applications in the classroom. 

Schools can also use tech and AI tools to enhance the success of teacher teams and professional learning communities (PLCs). When teacher teams set collective goals, their intended results – such as improved student outcomes – often occur in the classroom. But working toward their goals relies on effective peer-to-peer collaboration, which requires different skills and structures than classroom instruction. Technology is here to help bridge the gap.

Below are five AI and tech tools to enhance teacher team success.

1. Miro: A tool for visual brainstorming

Teacher teams need to brainstorm, exchange ideas, and work toward solutions together. An online whiteboard is a great solution for collaborative work because it provides a centralized canvas where members communicate with one another visually.

Miro users populate their whiteboards by uploading documents and images, embedding videos, or linking to websites. They can use sticky notes, shapes, drawing tools, emojis, and the like to share and respond to content. The whiteboards expand to hold any amount of content. Plus, users can view and make changes to their Miro board synchronously or asynchronously.

Additionally, Miro offers an AI tool called Miro Assist to help teams capture advanced insights from the content on their boards. For instance, Miro Assist can condense thousands of sticky notes into a single sticky note and automatically generate presentations, mind maps, and diagrams to help teams quickly transform their content into different visual forms.

2. Paymo: A tool for project management

Among the common PLC pitfalls that diminish effectiveness are a lack of structure, directional clarity,  and leadership. The project management software Paymo, which is free for schools, can alleviate each of these challenges. 

Paymo provides a centralized workspace where teacher teams clarify roles within their group, assign tasks to individuals, and track progress over time. These features allow educators to move from brainstorming and open-ended conversation to defining concrete, actionable goals so they can make real progress.

Teams can organize uploaded assets according to project or task so members know just where to find the information they need. And Paymo includes a comprehensive dashboard where leaders can get insights about how the PLC is progressing. 

3. Tricider: A Tool for decision-making

Making decisions as a group can be challenging. Tricider is a free online tool that simplifies the decision-making process and makes it more equitable by allowing users to leave plenty of feedback. It’s a great choice for teacher teams or PLCs who want to brainstorm ideas and work toward a consensus in areas like grading and assessment or professional development.

Here’s how it works: a user enters a question they want the group to consider. They then send the question directly to group members or get the ideas started by listing a few options for the group to consider. Recipients can add their own ideas to the list of options, leave pros and cons for other members to consider, and vote for their favorite ideas. The feedback is listed in three easy-to-read columns, which helps make even complex discussions easy to digest.

Giving team members the chance to weigh in on decisions helps create buy-in and a sense of shared accountability, which is one way to accelerate the success of your teacher teams.

4. Conceptboard’s Plus Delta Template: A tool for reflection

Conceptboard is another online whiteboard that teams can use for visual collaboration. Their Plus Delta template is perfect for teachers who want to self-reflect on their practice.

Plus Delta is a formative evaluation model that prompts individuals to assess what went well with an event or experience and what could be improved. Conceptboard’s template is just as straightforward as the evaluation model. In the “plus” column, teachers record practices they want to replicate, while in the “delta” column, they list opportunities for growth and enhancement. 

These insights promote a continuous improvement mindset that can help teachers strengthen their team’s collective efficacy, or belief in their joint ability to positively affect students. Research has shown that mindset matters: collective teacher efficacy has a strong and positive correlation to student achievement.

5. TeachFX: A tool for tracking engagement

TeachFX is an AI-powered app that provides instructional feedback for K-12 educators. Teachers use their phones to capture an audio recording of their lesson. Then, TeachFX generates personalized reports on academic vocabulary, talk ratio, and student engagement. 

The feedback that TeachFX provides is private, objective, and non-evaluative. Rather than telling teachers how to change their practice, TeachFX empowers them with data they can use to guide their own growth and decision-making. 

The data teachers receive may be surprising. One middle school teacher overestimated the amount of time her students spent talking during a lesson by 10 times (she guessed five minutes; it was actually 30 seconds). Gaining this level of self-awareness makes the tool so valuable for teacher teams who are looking to challenge their current thinking and practice. 

Of course, strategies to increase engagement in the classroom go beyond boosting the time students spend talking. But students’ willingness to participate in discussion is one indicator of their comfort level and motivation – and it’s something that TeachFX can help improve over time using research-based methods. 

A valuable opportunity to boost teacher team effectiveness 

It’s no secret that the expanding world of tech and AI provides educators with a variety of tools designed to increase their professional effectiveness. In a recent survey, 83 percent of teachers reported that their ability to use ed tech tools improved during pandemic building closures. Since reopening, districts and schools have leveraged the increased technological fluency of staff and students to address persisting challenges such as learning loss, delayed social-emotional development, and teacher burnout. There is no cure-all for everything that ails our educational communities. However, the potential to give teacher teams the tools they need to tackle these issues with the assistance of tech and AI is immense.

2023 was a breakout year for artificial intelligence, with explosive growth of generative AI tools.

Since researchers at Carnegie Mellon University helped invent AI in the 1950s, AI has been transforming how we learn, work, and play–and that change is now happening at breakneck speed.

Over the last 30 years, I have witnessed the evolving landscape of AI in education. Many early AI efforts were focused on using computers to model human thinking as a way of confirming our understanding of how the human mind works. For example, Herb Simon and others studied how chess masters played the game in order to understand problem solving. They discovered that much of their skill involved developing perceptual abilities that allowed them to look at a chess board and immediately see potential moves, rather than searching all possible moves.

Over time, AI diverged into two tracks: replicating human intelligence, and expertly accomplishing tasks thought to be unique to humans. AI chess programs, like much of AI, focused more on playing the game well and less on playing it the way humans do.

In education, AI retains its focus on cognitive modeling. Unlike chess, where playing the game well is the point, education systems need to track students’ reasoning in order to help students build expertise. It’s not about speed or efficiency in arriving at the correct answer; it’s about nurturing a student’s comprehension and conceptual understanding.

The experience of creating AI that models human thinking is, perhaps, more relevant in education than in other fields. So, how do we ensure that AI supports the fundamental goal of fostering a student’s understanding, rather than simply focusing on speed, efficiency, or correctness?

Here are a few questions to consider when researching and evaluating AI programs for the classroom.

Does the AI think like a student?

Education is all about making connections with students. Because each student has different backgrounds, experiences, and interests, good teachers adjust their instruction to match each student’s needs. Good educational AI needs to do the same thing.

This is where empathy and data intersect. An effective AI program should grasp the student’s perspective, identifying where they stumble and why.

Take math, for example. Many students form common denominators to multiply fractions, even though they do not need to do so. A good teacher will recognize this error as indicating a lack of conceptual understanding about what multiplying fractions means and how it differs from adding them. AI should do this, too. An advanced AI program will have a cognitive model that helps it understand why students might confuse the two operations so it can intervene with hints, recognize common errors, and guide students toward a deeper understanding.

In this way, AI can also assist teachers by acting as a one-to-one coach for students. AI can adjust to every action students take to meet them where they are and help them progress at a very detailed, skill-by-skill level.

Does it provide teachers with critical data to help them guide students in real-time?

There are some things that technology excels at, like collecting data, and other things that teachers excel at, like teaching and motivating students. AI that is built with a live facilitation tool can provide teachers with in-the-moment data, such as when students are working or idle. Real-time alerts can indicate when students need extra support or when they’ve reached milestones.

When teachers have actionable insights into how their students are working and performing on specific skills or standards–as well as predictions of how far they are expected to progress by the end of the year–they can manage, guide, coach, and intervene more effectively.

Does it allow students to track their own progress?

In addition to providing teachers with data, AI should enable students to see their own progress. As students see their proficiency improving in each skill, their confidence grows and they become motivated by their results. They begin to develop a sense of ownership in their learning and a sense of responsibility for their success.

Is the AI unbiased?

Despite its benefits, AI can also bring ethical challenges to education. For example, some AI tools have been shown to exhibit bias. Even if that bias is unintentional, it can amplify stereotypes about race and gender.

There are many ways to guard against bias in data sets. To start, organizations that develop and instruct AI models for education–or any field–should have diverse teams. They should also rigorously test their programs to identify potential bias and then continually monitor them.

Is the technology safe, secure, and effective?

As with any technology, AI programs should protect student security and privacy, and abide by all applicable laws.

Further, engagement with the program should result in improved outcomes and better support for students, including those who have been historically underserved. Like other education and edtech programs, AI-powered software should be built on evidence-based research, as well as research on how the brain learns, to give students the best learning experience possible. It should also be proven by research to measurably improve students’ learning, growth, and achievement.

Looking ahead

AI has immense potential to transform teaching and learning. It’s time that the realm of AI in education evolves beyond mere efficiency and correctness. The true revolution lies in using AI to empower and elevate the minds of our students.

It seems as if we hear about AI in education every day, if not every hour. AI’s rise in popularity has brought with it questions about ethics, skills students will need for workplace success, and how to balance negatives with positives when it comes to teaching with this new generative tool.

Here are five insights around AI in education:

What is the best AI tool for teachers?

When it comes to AI tools for education, there are a number to choose from. ChatGPT is likely the first to come to mind, but AI is woven into so many tools and helps automate tedious tasks, connects student progress with personalized recommendations, and improved PD feedback. Tools include Canva Magic Write for creative writing, Eduaide.ai for instructional materials, and Google Bard and Microsoft’s Bing Chat.

How is AI beneficial in education?

AI is here to stay, and will be an important workforce skill–and many educators want to teach students to work with it, not against it. This makes the future of AI in education intriguing, to say the least. Just as the internet revolutionized learning, AI will be the next game-changer. While the fears of using AI to cheat aren’t unfounded, how many educators have actually tried writing an essay using just AI? Using AI still requires work, and in fact, it often leads to a deeper understanding of the subject matter because you are the one who has to teach AI what to do and say. Just like the internet, AI isn’t going anywhere–so let’s teach our kids to work with AI, not against it. Here are 5 positive ways students can use AI.

What are the negative effects of AI in education?

When it comes to the disadvantages of AI in education, educators are increasingly concerned about the influence AI writing tools could have on education and students. The discussion around the influence of AI writing on instruction has never been so active – all thanks to the launch of ChatGPT last year. The tool is so advanced compared to other writing tools of its kind that a lot of people instantly started using it for all kinds of ethically ambiguous purposes. Educators are concerned about the influence AI will have and how its negative effects could be detrimental to learning. Here’s how to counteract the disruptive influence of AI writing on learning.

What is the role of AI in education?

There’s a lurking concern that AI is just going to help students find mindless shortcuts for cheating their way to good grades. But that’s only a risk if schools and teachers hold a low bar for what they expect of their students. If schools and teachers want to elevate expectations for their students, the role of AI in education can be powerful for rapid feedback and iterative prototyping. Here’s how AI can make for a sink-or-swim moment in classrooms.
