There’s no shortage of excitement around AI in education. Generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, have made their way into classrooms and seem to offer endless possibilities for helping students (and teachers) with everything from research to problem-solving. But we need to be careful, AI can either support or hinder learning,…
AI integration in education isn’t easy. There’s no getting away from Artificial Intelligence (AI). It’s on our TVs and news cycles, it’s sending us phishing emails, targeting ads, it’s even driving some cars, let alone helping us choose our Netflix viewing.
