Teaching With and Teaching About Artificial Intelligence

Curated List of AI Resources for Teachers

No one knows where we will end up when we use AI in education. On one hand, it seems as if  everything about teaching will change. On the other hand, I’m encouraged by Isaac Asimov’s quote, “Any teacher that can be replaced by a computer should be replaced by a computer.”

Staying up-to-date in education as always been important ~ now our responsibility for being in the avant guard of our science/art is being tested by advances in artificial intelligence. We are being asked to teach with and teach about artificial intelligence, which means we have to stay current with a field that changes by the minute.

Learning about AI

In order to use AI or teach about it effectively, we must first understand what it is, how it can be used, its benefits and drawbacks. Teachers don’t have to be AI experts, but we do need to know the big ideas, the vocabulary, and central issues facing AI in the future.

  Whatever we imagine teaching with the support of AI to be, my guess is it will be different.  Isabelle

Teaching About AI

Artificial intelligence is new to us, however, it’s likely that our students will rely on AI for entertainment, education, careers, and communication. Where else will they find instructions for making pancakes in antigravity kitchens? Students in school today must learn about AI and how to interact with AI tools in order to be effective adults.
