AI in Classrooms: Educators Debate Responsible Use
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into classrooms, sparking debate among educators about its responsible use. Anna Bacon, an IB English teacher, and Ryan Davis, an IB music teacher, share their insights on AI's role in education.
Bacon believes AI should be taught as a tool, acknowledging its potential to provide non-factual information. She advocates for responsible use, echoing the International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme's lenient approach. Davis, however, sees AI as an aid for organizing thoughts but emphasizes that students should do the majority of the work. Several US schools, like those using MagicSchool and Google Classroom, have embraced AI for lesson planning and personalized learning. While AI can facilitate adaptive learning paths and individual feedback, it also raises concerns about academic integrity and potential bias. Students Lenora Sackey and Rowan Barrie express worries about AI stunting creativity and impeding learning. Additionally, AI's high water usage for prompt generation and the risk of false information further complicate its classroom use.
Educators agree that students need to be prepared for an AI-driven future, even if they disagree on its classroom use. Careful consideration of AI's benefits and drawbacks is necessary to maintain academic integrity and ensure responsible use.
