1. Like a lot of people feel and having been saying, AI technology is not going away, if anything it's absolutely on the rise and will continue to ascend for generations to come. I can only imagine where it will go from here, in various industries, in our schools, and in our everyday lives. For me personally, change and AI specifically can be a scary and intimidating thought. My thoughts are to take it one day and one school year at a time. Do my best to continue to learn, evolve with the times and technology, and to continue to grow in my personal knowledge of AI, etc. through Professional Development (Badges like this one), other training webinars offered, and finally through personal use and trial and error.
2. In regards to education's role and my role as an educator in this, to continue to evolve and adapt with the technology. Using AI, chatGPT, and teaching digital citizenship (also learned from a previous Badge) to our students. Teaching them to effectively use this type of technology for good and for their benefit, without "cheating" and not learning from it. Learning how to continue to alter and change my current units, lessons, methods, and strategies as an educator to better suit the overall goal of our school's mission statement, "every student, one community, ready for the future." Having our students be "ready for the future" is extremely significant and apparent, and it starts with us on the front lines and the role that we and technology will play in shaping our student's educational/social lives.
