We are going to pace through the first section in "teacher-paced" mode. Then, I will switch the Formative to "student-paced" so that you can continue working through the Formative.

While reverting back to paper can be viewed as a necessary stopgap as we get our bearings with AI, there are many benefits to using technology that students will lose if pen and paper become the new norm. Which of these issues concern you the most? - Miller, Matt. AI for Educators: Learning Strategies, Teacher Efficiencies, and a Vision for an Artificial Intelligence Future (p. 34).

Consider the graphic above. "If cheating is nothing new," how might AI call for us to revise our definition of cheating and plagiarism?

Question 12
12.

How might the AI revolution help us find ways to help our students develop their voice? What roadblocks might stand in our way?

ChatGPT automates the process of gathering information and ideas which is what one would consider "surface-level" learning. If we are to focus on deep learning and the transfer of skills, it's what we ask our students to do with AI-generations that will take front and center. Discussion and collaboration may help support deeper learning, but providing students the opportunity for authentic content creation, may not only support the transfer of knowledge acquisition, but it can also foster career-readiness.

Instead of being consumers of learning, students can be content creators and contributors, making learning more engaging, relevant and authentic. I asked ChatGPT about the impact of content creation on the transfer of learning. Annotate the text to show your reactions, ideas, and questions.

Personalized feedback
Paper and pencil can create more barriers to demonstrating understanding than it removes. Technology provides students with lots of accessibility tools, like voice typing, screen readers, magnification, and translation services. It supports students with a variety of learning disabilities. Removing access to these supports can exacerbate problems for these students, who are likely already marginalized.
Resourceful students can still find ways to access the tools you’re trying to avoid. They’ll access the internet and AI tools on their phones under their desks (or in a restroom stall). They’ll text their friends. As long as teachers have discouraged students from things they deem “cheating,” students have been finding ways to use them.
Paper and pencil slow down the feedback loop. Digital work lets students work and submit from anywhere. It gives teachers instant access—even while the student is still working—to provide immediate feedback. Paper work means students have to turn it in in-person and wait to receive it back in-person to get feedback.
It’s not very authentic to their future. This is an activity seen through today glasses. Blocking out the internet and these growing AI tools isn’t the kind of work they’ll do when they reach the workforce. It’s not the kind of work we do as adults, either.

Question 17

Here are some ideas recently generated and shared from teachers across the globe. Which ones sound interesting to you?

"Conversation is a timeless skill. We’re still going to need to be able to talk to other humans and interact extemporaneously. We’ll still create and support opinions. We’ll still come up with questions. Even though we’ll ask machines for answers sometimes, we will always want to ask humans those questions, too."

How can we utilize discussion strategies in the face of AI?
Students can discuss the AI content itself—what makes sense and what doesn’t.
Students can discuss how AI content transfers to other content areas
Students can compare and contrast the AI-content as it regenerates.
Teachers can generate socratic discussion questions with AI
Students can develop debate points
Students can utilize AI-generated content to discuss solutions
AI can be a part of the think-pair-share routine
Check off all of the tools that students could potentially use for content creation to support learning transfer. If you have additional ideas, note them in the "show your work" section.

Educator Jen Giffen shared: "Give a writing prompt to an AI assistant. It could be a different writing prompt than you’ll give your students. Then, read the essay the bot creates for you. Next, give the students the rubric you use to grade their writing, and ask them to grade the response from the AI assistant. This helps students to be reflective about the grading process—and about their own writing process. When students get grades on their own work, it’s easy to take it personally—or to dismiss it because it makes them feel like they’ve messed up. But when they critique the work of a bot that doesn’t have feelings, it eliminates a lot of those emotions."
Sarah Dillard founder of Kaleidoscope Education wrote: “Augmenting the think-pair-share with ChatGPT could be one of the biggest tech-enabled leaps in pedagogy: Think. Pair. ChatGPT. Pair. Share.” Students think about a prompt, encouraging them to retrieve what they know from memory and consider it. Then they discuss it with a classmate. Then they do any searches they want with an AI assistant. They pair back up to discuss what they’ve found. Then they share with the class. The AI assistant adds an additional perspective and more information.
Educator Alona Fyshe explained it this way: “I used it to get a better definition of intentionality. I asked it to explain it to me like I was 5 and it was slightly better than how I had been trying to explain it.” PROMPT TIP: You can give an AI assistant a definition from a textbook or a definition you commonly use yourself. Then, ask it to improve it, to make it easier to understand, or to provide an analogy.
Educator Brittany Ferguson did this to help differentiate reading materials for her students. Here’s how she explained it: “I used it today to create leveled text sets: fiction, nonfiction, and poetry with our science and social studies unit using the essential knowledge. Literally saved hours and hours of resource curation.”
