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). Ditch That Textbook. Kindle Edition.

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.

"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 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.

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

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.
