Explain how educators might combat “cheating” so AI in the classroom can be beneficial.
- We can combat cheating by creating assignments that make using AI to cheat difficult. Project based learning, critical thinking assignments, and/or assignments that require creativity and originality. I would think that this would be most difficult in ELA and Social Studies classes, where writing assignments are prevalent. Another way to combat cheating would be to use interactive and visual elements in assignments and create more open-ended questions.
- Teachers can actually (apparently) use AI to differentiate/scaffold lessons, tailoring lessons/assignments to individual students' needs and learning styles.
We can combine these two concepts by teaching students how to use AI responsibly and creatively. AI can be used to help simplify complex concepts and widgets can be created/used to help students understand new concepts.
What tech tools have you already used that have AI built into them?? Describe your experience thus far.
I attempted to use ChatGPT to translate Living Environment review materials for some of my ELL students but it didn't work out well. I fully admit that it most likely was because I hadn't much knowledge of how to best use it. I was also looking to translate pages of text and images, and it seems ChatGPT is not equipped to do that well. It is great for translating short paragraphs.
