Today we talked about AI and its different applications for teachers. It was crazy to me that Microsoft Bing creates rubrics that can be copied into an Excel spreadsheet!

I only really have experience using Chat GPT, but Microsoft Bing seems to have some advantages over this. For our in-class activity I made rubric on Chat GPT but it didn’t display the rubric in a nice table format. Which AI tool do you prefer using?

Many sources debate the ethics of AI. IBM has a whole section on their website about AI ethics that is a useful resource. I added a video from their website below.

My stance on AI is firmly undecided. I think it needs to be adopted and used by both students and educators but how is the question. Hopefully ethical discussions can help sort this out.

As we all become teachers, we need to carefully consider how we assess and evaluate students. In the future, maybe essays won’t be useful but bigger, multimedia projects will. In my opinion, it’s a good thing that tests are being used less often in education. With that being said, maybe tests or answering questions without access to AI can better represent student learning. Alternatively, maybe we should just be assessing how well students can use and integrate AI and stop trying to work around it.

P.s. No AI was consulted in the writing of this post.
