Before watching this, I really did just think that AI was a cheating tool for students, especially since I teach English, and even a writing based college-level course. I have caught students turning in full assignments using AI like chatGPT, so that has been my experience with this. However, most of this video was showing this positive side of AI- it explained that it can be seen more as a tutor to help guide students, and we just have to reframe our homework assignments/assessments. I liked the comparison between an older sibling who can help students, and the point that not every student has a parent/sibling helping them, and not every family can afford a tutor. In this, AI can create a more equitable experience for students who lack these resources.
Some tools I use are grammarly extensions on my computer that will fix/suggest edits to my writing. I also use AI when contacting companies to help problem solve- sometimes entering a "chat" with them is easier however, when the issue is more serious, a human is needed to understand and help solve it and in this, it can be frustrating at times.
I do need to start using AI more to lesson plan/create ideas to make my job easier because I have not used it for anything like that yet.
