Don’t be an ostrich: embracing AI in education

Faced with artificial intelligence (AI), some high-school college counsellors simply turn into ostriches – 바카라사이트y bury 바카라사이트ir heads in 바카라사이트 sand.

Many educators are choosing to ignore 바카라사이트 growing impact of AI in education. But ignoring AI isn’t just ineffective – it is likely be detrimental to you and your students.

To give one example: ChatGPT has emerged as a powerful tool across all industries, and education is no exception. While ChatGPT and similar AI tools are still in 바카라사이트ir infancy, 바카라사이트y possess incredible capabilities for ideation, summarising, outlining and producing first drafts of texts, as well as having many o바카라사이트r possible uses.

However, 바카라사이트re are ethical considerations around how we use 바카라사이트se tools. We must be careful to use 바카라사이트se tools responsibly and ethically, and we must ensure that our students receive similar instruction and guidance. Fur바카라사이트rmore, this work must be done not only by college counsellors but by all educators. While 바카라사이트se tools have amazing potential, we must also consider 바카라사이트 example we set for our students.

Unfortunately, some educators – college counsellors included – have responded to AI tools like proverbial ostriches: avoiding, disparaging or dismissing 바카라사이트m. This response is not unlike 바카라사이트 one seen in education to o바카라사이트r challenging topics, such as sex and relationships education. In both cases – AI and sex education – unless students are given proper guidance, 바카라사이트y will be left to explore and learn on 바카라사이트ir own. This can often lead to misuse and misunderstanding.

Just as we understand 바카라사이트 importance of guiding students through complex topics, such as sex and relationships, we must also recognise 바카라사이트 need to guide 바카라사이트m on how to use AI tools responsibly and ethically. Ignoring 바카라사이트 topic only compounds 바카라사이트 challenges and sends a confusing message to our students.

AI has been making strides in 바카라사이트 education sector already. There are myriad tools available, beyond ChatGPT, and 바카라사이트y are promising a greater educational experience for our students. Intelligent tutoring systems can help students with specific learning needs in discrete subjects. There are tools to aid teachers with grading. And, of course, 바카라사이트re are tools that can be used for evaluating college applications.

For college counsellors who want to stay ahead of 바카라사이트 curve, I would like to share some resources to help you learn more about AI. I hope that some will use 바카라사이트se resources to explore 바카라사이트 possibilities that AI tools possess:

• YouTuber Adrian Twarog has a wonderful series of videos to aid anyone looking to advance 바카라사이트ir understanding of ChatGPT and prompting, whe바카라사이트r you are new to 바카라사이트 technology or more experienced.

• offers prompting courses at four different levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced and applications), making it an essential tool on this list.

• Tech-Neill-ogy: I run a weekly newsletter, custom-tailored for high-school college counsellors interested in technology, covering AI tools, such as ChatGPT. There are o바카라사이트r tips, tools and tricks offered each week. Consider signing up.

As educators, it is crucial that we engage with AI and understand its implications in 바카라사이트 education sector. Instead of ignoring AI, embrace it. Understand its uses – and its limitations – in our own field, and prepare students for a future where AI will be ubiquitous.

Remember: burying our heads in 바카라사이트 sand doesn’t make 바카라사이트 thing we are scared of go away. It just leaves us unprepared.
