AI images using Ideogram
My experience:
I submitted ideas about curriculum development using AI. These were passed onto the “𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐀𝐈 E𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭” 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 “𝐀𝐈 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤”. Once my ideas and assistants went to the "Safe AI Experts" they were buried forever. None of the ideas were reviewed, none of the apps were opened. As compliance is via self-assessment. Here's my self Assessment.
For most districts Departments & countries this self-assessment is another roadblock in the use of AI in schools. Just another time-consuming hurdle to jump over. However, there is a wide range of AI options that are low to no risk & these should be listed & used, 𝐈𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐘, the roadblocks should be removed.
AI is coming, and if we don’t get prepared, the cost will be far greater than we can imagine.

Check out the research. This is now the worst it will be, already better at generating novel ideas, it will only improve from here. Researchers have found that AI ideas are judged as more novel, though slightly less feasible, than those from human experts in a study comparing AI-generated research ideas in natural language processing (NLP).
THE ANSWER is a resounding YES
But It needs a human to make it feasible! That's You & ME

The opinions expressed here are purely those of the editor, Cathy Brown. All other small print clauses apply. Such as: Use at your own risk. Nothing in life is guaranteed. If it doesn't work for you me send an email and I'll try to figure it out. |
Before we go I have a question for you: Would you be interested in learning more about AI and how to integrate into your teaching? Would you like more information about inservice and training. No need to decide just yet, just email me if you'd like to start the ball rolling. |
