Part 2 Fireside Chat with Sal Khan and Hadi Partov

• Explain how educators might combat “cheating” so AI in the classroom can be beneficial.
• What tech tools have you already used that have AI built into them??  Describe your experience thus far.

Educators might combat "cheating" so AI can be more beneficial in the classrooms by rethinking the type of homework or classwork given. Educators need to realize that all the programs like Google, Google Docs, Microsoft, and others are using AI.  AI needs to be harnessed to enhance and perhaps personalize the students' learning experience. One idea is to use programs like Khanmingo, which allows educators to track or limit students' use of AI while performing a learning task. Specifically, Khanmingo has educational tools that monitor how AI is being used by a student. The teacher decides when students work on their own or can use AI depending on the purpose of learning tasks.

I have used several tech tools that have AI built into them. The basic tools are Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Microsoft. More recently, I earned a certificate for Canva Essentials. Canva has amazing AI tools. The editing tools Magic Eraser, Magic Grab, Grab Text, Background Remove, and Background Expand are AI-powered tools for editing photos.  Perhaps the most experimental AI on Canva is the image generator. This Elements tool allows you to ask AI to create a graphic by providing the generator with a 5 or more work description. It is crazy and fun!
