Artificial intelligence has become a bigger part of schools in recent years. While students are often the main focus when talking about AI in education, teachers are also finding different ways to use it in their classrooms. Some teachers use AI to help with planning and creating materials, while others use it to save time or come up with new ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Richards, the Librarian, currently uses AI for a variety of reasons. He first became interested in AI because it can assist with technology questions. One of the biggest benefits Mr. Richards have found is that it helps with time management. He believes students should understand that teachers and staff use AI to save time and nothing else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AI can be a useful tool in the classroom when it is used correctly. Teachers are using it for different reasons, but many see it as a way to make certain parts of their jobs easier and more efficient.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Mr. Krehbiel, the Business academy teacher, also uses AI in his classroom. He explained that he uses it as an assistant to bring his ideas to life such as having AI design his lesson PowerPoints. His interest for AI started because it helps with his time management, using the analogy (Concept vs. Creating pretty things) and one of the biggest benefits for him is that Chat GPT gives something to bounce ideas off of. This is beneficial for Mr. Krehbiel because he is a \u201csingleton\u201d which refers to someone who is the sole teacher of a subject. AI has helped him by building out his first semester lesson plans. But he also recognizes that there can be challenges. Mr. K wishes students understood that when using AI, teachers already have the knowledge to recognize what\u2019s accurate, while students may rely on AI as a crutch instead using it to support their learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another teacher, Dr. Itle-Clark, the AP Research teacher, shared that she generates images with AI and doesn\u2019t use Chat GPT on a daily basis. She currently uses AI to generate project rubrics for her classrooms and believes it can be helpful because AI provides quick results allowing her to save time. She also explained that when she does use it, the information is not always reliable, and fact checking the chatbots response can sometimes take more time than simply doing the work herself. She wants students to understand that she doesn\u2019t use AI often, and it\u2019s only used to save time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AI can be a useful tool in the classroom when it is used correctly. Teachers are using it for different reasons, but many see it as a way to make certain parts of their jobs easier and more efficient. At the same time, they understand that AI can cause problems if students rely on it too much or use it instead of doing their own work. As AI continues to become more common in schools, understanding how teachers use it can help students see that AI is not just a tool for completing assignments. It can also be a tool that teachers use to support their classrooms and their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Graphic by Aden Seelbinder<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By: Maya Kawada Artificial intelligence has become a bigger part of schools in recent years.
