As computers did a generation before, advancements in technology are changing how students learn and how teachers teach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rise of artificial intelligence presents a mixed bag of opportunities to learn and get around learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A.I. is not going away, and some institutions and districts are embracing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s a free teacher’s aide for educators who choose to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Artificial intelligence tools can write up a syllabus or create lesson plans in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“A.I. will transform, not just education, but business and society,” said Dr. Dr. Dobin Yim, from Loyola University Maryland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Yim researches A.I. and integrates it into his curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“So, this won’t replace teachers?” WJZ Paul Gessler asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I don’t think so, although, I think if you decide to embrace it, it will democratize learning,” Dr. Yim said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Democratizing learning, Dr. Yim says, because A.I. is well-versed across many subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Whether you have a learning disability or want to accelerate your learning journey, A.I., to me, is a personal tutor,” Dr. Yim said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A.I. is a personal tutor which is why Dr. Yim urges teachers to get acquainted with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I think everyone should at least try it out to see if this is the right tool for you or not,” Dr. Yim said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I think the balance always is how is technology aiding education,” added Cheryl Bost, Maryland State Teacher’s Union President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bost says teachers need guidance and training for evolving challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We’re just scratching the surface of what it can do, what it can provide benefits, and what challenges it presents,” Bost said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the challenges include plagiarism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of writing a history paper, you can ask ChatGPT, and within seconds, an essay appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, Dr. Yim said there are patterns teachers can detect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If a teacher is well-versed in it, this seems like it was generated by ChatGPT, they can ask the student, ‘Did you do this on your own?'”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, there’s A.I. out of the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some school districts are leaning on it to enhance safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baltimore City Public Schools are joining dozens of other districts across the country, using a weapons detection system meant to distinguish whether a student has a gun on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The goal of the Evolv system is to let kids come to focus on learning and teachers focus on teaching,” said Anil Chitkara, the company’s co-founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some universities are creating A.I. courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We don’t know where it will go and I think we are all learning together,” said Alyssa Moon, from Western Michigan University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Yim says A.I. can be misused by anyone who uses it, students or teachers, which is why school leaders should get out in front of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Should you use it? I think that really relies on the comfort level of the instructor and also the institution,” Dr. Yim said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
