You probably feel despair because you do deeply care about helping your kids learn @Lisa Erdahl . But a small shift in perspective can make you the best teacher theyve ever had. What would it look like to open up a conversation WITH your students about what AI could look like in the classroom? About the pros and cons of AI? About using AI to work smarter instead of using it to avoid learning? How can we rethink the role of homework in the world of AI ##teachers##teachertok#greenscreenvideo

What's the point of me even being here if kids are just going to use AI to cheat and generate their answers? I mean this with kindness. The problem is not AI. The problem is that your teaching methods are now outdated. I really want to kindly encourage teachers that feel tempted to this moral despair around AI to change their perspective on what the problem is. I saw this brilliant video and I wish I could remember who it was. It was this college professor talking about how she's adapted to AI. And what she does now is that she instructs her kids to use AI to write an essay about something. And then she has them print it out and bring the essay into class. And then in class, either individually or in groups, they go through the essay and they annotate it. And they edit it. And they mark up how they could make that essay better. They identify places where AI is pulling from incorrect sources, where AI has made mistakes, where AI isn't being as clear. And they work to write a better product than what AI has done. And in that, she is still teaching her students the same critical thinking skills, the same acquisition of knowledge. But now she's teaching it in a way to equip them to actually live in the world they live where AI is at your fingertips, where every Google search puts an AI answer at the top. The moral despair that you feel about AI is not any different than the moral despair teachers felt at the birth of the Internet or at the creation of Cliff Notes. It's no different than the despair all of the teachers felt at our private school when we all realized that we could write the answers on our upper thighs under our school skirts because teachers couldn't ask us to pull up our school skirts. So I really hope that teachers stop trying to resist AI and lock it down and keep it out of the classroom. And instead realize the problem is not that technology is advancing. The problem is that your teaching methods aren't and they just don't match the real world for the kids anymore.
