Great info! Thanks!
Great overview! Loved Hi and Di discussion.
I have been hearing a lot about AI and this session was very enlightening- thank you!
85 million jobs will be lost due to AI, but 97 million jobs will be generated.
I appreciated the use of AI in the classroom where it can be used in a controlled, supervised environment. I also noticed that this process means partnering with parents to help our students navigate AI. Partnering with parents is so important when it comes to students using AI because as teachers, we can not moderate all of their activity. AI has a place in the classroom, and it’s our job to teach students how to use it properly.
Thank you for breaking it down this way. AI is a tool and teaching our kids it’s only a tool can beat challenge but it is necessary. I like “DI” Divine Intelligence definition!
AI is a tool that can be used for good. It’s a part of our culture now. It should be checked. Students should show their work, instead of just getting the answer in math. We need to make it clear that it’s not a person and does not have feelings. It’s just a tool to help us learn.
So helpful! Valuable advice to embrace AI but not allow students to build relationships with AI. It’s a tool.
I’m signing up for her podcast so I can learn more about ai. I thought it was funny that ai isn’t good in math.
Great presentation.
I enjoyed hearing her perspective!
Thank you for this important information and the emphasis on using AI as a tool to be used Biblically and to avoid humanizing it.
Thank you for helping me see the benefits of AI and how it can be used in the classroom. I love the reminder that it is a tool and the danger of humanizing it.
I learned much about Chat GPT that I did not understand before listening to Ms. Davis’s presentation. It was assuring to know that there are resources to guide us in training students to use AI wisely.
Insights I will be incorporating into my ELA classroom AI discussions:
AI needs to be filtered through HI, which needs to be filtered through DI. Students need to learn the process, not just spit out the right answers.
AI isn’t sentient, let alone human! Beware of treating it as such.
We must remember it is artificial intelligence. There are robots that look like they have emotion, but remember also they do not have a soul.
My biggest takeaway is to watch out for humanizing AI.
I would love to share the advice for parents portion of this with my parents. My students love to ask Google or Alexa to answer their math questions.
AI is a tool that can help with time and organization. Teaching kids to critically analyze the AI output can help our students learn deeper.
AI is something that I have been very nervous about utilizing with my students. This session gave me some things to think about and challenged some of my views and assumptions!
I love so many of the important reminders/takeaways in here-
Not living in fear (of AI)
Being sure your biblical worldview is accurate to judge AI output
Being sure to use AI with students while under our supervision and modeling
I almost didn’t want to watch this because of my own opinions and inhibitions about AI. Thank you for sharing a positive look and incorporating a Biblical mindset. Good comparison to Noah and using tools for good or bad.
This was helpful. I actually didn’t know what the G P or T stood for in chatgtp. It is good to be reminded that AI is a tool and needs to be used wisely. We must not humanize it. As a teacher I find chatgtp to be helpful in designing projects and helping to write report card comments.
This was my first PD on AI as well. I enjoyed hearing about the positive aspects of it, and some of the ways I already use it without even knowing it.
I hate to say this…. But this was my first PD on AI and what a great foundation to build upon. Thank you for having such a positive outlook and sharing such great words such as “this is a tool” that we can share with others. Keep sharing! @worthitwithluker
As a computer science teacher, I’ve taught AI at a public school. This gives me a lot to think about. I like the idea of AI/HI/DI.
Great, practical session putting a positive spin in AI. Thank you! I appreciated the emphasis on the responsibility we have to make things better! Fabulous free resources as well. Much thanks.
Use AI for good and get busy
I will follow up on Vicki Davis to get myself more familar with AI and see it could be levered to benefit my classes
Thanks for taking the time to share. Boy am I thinking now. I love how you took a positive approach. We hear so much on the negative we forget to think of how we can use AI to help. Being a grandmother, I wish both my daughter in laws could watch. They are beginning their families and they need to be thinking about this in raising their kids.
Very interesting. Thanks. Love the final quote by Tolkien too 🙂
I loved this! Thanks for helping me articulate to the old school staff why we must familiarize ourselves with this technology. Also thanks for the rules. I had to explain to three students today that ChatGPT is a tool, not a source, so although it must be cited, it does not count as one of the required sources.
I just discovered using AI in Canva, and I appreciated how this session approached the prevalence of AI from the perspective of furthering the gospel. Loved this session!
Thanks for sharing examples of how I use A.I. in my life without even realizing it.
Focus in making sure students master the process, not just get the right answer.
I really enjoyed this session. I agree that the use of ai is not going away, but that we need to learn about it, and supervise it’s use by our students.
I appreciate the distractions made between DI, HI and AI. We need to continuously remind ourselves and those around us that AI is a tool that can be used for many different situations.
Yes! I agree. I love the reminder of the “it’s just a tool.” Sometimes it’s so easy to forget that. A pencil, a computer, a knife, etc—all have the power for good or evil depending on how they are used.
And my other takeaway—to make sure we are using our tools for good? Stay focused on using tools withing the biblical worldview framework.
