How Will Schools Respond to the A.I. Revolution?

If you would like to use this video in a training, please check out www.visualizel... for licensing information.
Description:
The AI Revolution is already here. But how will schools respond? Traditionally, schools typically default to one of two extremes: embrace tech uncritically (techno-futurism) or block it entirely. But there's a third way. This sketch video explores the big ideas around how schools will respond to AI in the future.

This is exactly what I needed to explain AI to teachers in a PD. Thank you

[@chetgarber8824]

Great video, John. We'll look back on this as a "disruptive innovation" moment for schools and learning in general. It's a great opportunity for us to curate and cull some of our older, compliance-based, rote-learning and assessment practices in favor of more personal, authentic, project and passion based projects that still meet our learning standards or targets.

[@spencereducation]

I agree. It's a chance to rethink the education system.

Nah, because there's a typo. That's the evidence the robots didn't do it. :)

@@spencereducation Played with ChatGPT with my ELA pre-service teachers in class night in our quest to think about why we teach writing, and when prompted to regenerate responses "in a way a 12 year old would understand" it actually did insert a few errors! Of course, who knows if that was on purpose but my students found this to be the most 'creepy' part of the experience. :P

About thirty years ago, I had a consultant who worked for me who was around 60. He had a saying around the office, "Each generation gets dumber and dumber.". One of my subordinates who was younger said "Was I just insulted?". LOL. But now we have AI.

[@spencer5465]

Plot twist. This video script was written by A.I.

[@EdmilsonRodrigues1985]

Hi John. I am thinking about becoming a science communicator. What are the tools you use to create and animate those ilustrations? And the video itself? Thanks in advance.

[@JacobHayesTeacher]

Awesome take on this important conversation, great video! As a History teacher, I think it's crucial to teach those important skills. I think A.I might encourage teachers to think about what other authentic assessments might exist, rather than a worksheet or an essay (which granted still do have their place).

[@spencereducation]

Well said! I love that approach.

[@spencereducation]

@@krubinstein325 It's not an easy fix and would require a re-edit and a re-upload. In terms of sharing, that's up to you. I am an educator but I also make mistakes. I don't think things have to be perfect to share with others. I actually think owning our imperfections is perfectly acceptable. Think of it this way. If it's an in-person speech and I mispronounced a word, did my message fail? Or did the audience see me as human? So, I get it. Ultimately, it's up to you. However, I'm okay with sharing something imperfect.

I’ve been applying this hybrid approach since AI emerged in education, and I call it the 'touch the grass with your vision approach.' I happen to teach both science and humanities, and in my problem-based learning (PBL) sessions, students are presented with real or hypothetical problems from their surroundings. They then hypothesize solutions by exploring online resources and integrating them with AR games and AI assistants for added complexity. Afterward, I guide them to validate their hypotheses through hands-on experiments that fully engage their five senses. Once their experiments produce results (which I refer to as solutions to the original problem), we test them again in a simulated environment. If the solutions pass digital validation, students either present or market their products. By merging traditional and modern techniques, students not only maintain their connection to the real world and their senses, but also stay in sync with ever-changing information

As a teacher I believe we should see how they use it. We cannot say it will be completely bad until we see how they benefit.....or not.

[@spencereducation]

Hello Mr. John thank you for the wonderfully crisp presentation, Ai is a concerning topic to educators, as most of the educators are not yet trained in it, but the kids are moving faster with tech-based applications, and the curriculum is adding up every year with new innovations, appreciate your insight brining the various concepts and its impact to update our selves.

[@lionelsweeny3124]

I agree with the Vintage View as a way to integrate the best of the past with opportunities to reshape the future by enhancing the way humans do and create work. AI is a tool, as other innovations and opportunities have supported creativity as the ideas humans define; therefore as a teacher, it is our role to understand the tools to facilitate the understanding and align with the student's abilities to enhance and create better ways to enhance our living. The tool reviews, patterns, trends, and schema, but humans provide the humanistic elements that are not captured in machine learning. The outcomes of AI are dependent on human influence good or bad. We, humans, are the creates of collaboration and ethics to determine our outcomes.

So now thinking back on all the times I watched Star Trek and they spoke to the computer and it answered this is it we are getting that now. Wasn't that long ago as a child my parents showed me a newspaper that had a picture of Spock and it said we were going to have lasers and now in my old age I am here. I remember my teachers being afraid the new calculators were going to make us kids stupid now this is happening 😄. Cool so the caves of Lascaux paint there own pictographs on request and then instruct the warrior students on how to hunt by providing a power point presentation on spear manufacture and hunting and processing the kill. "You ain't never had a friend like me" indeed. Sounds good, lets get going. I would also like to point out this is how we all become ghosts in the machine so we are already merging because the child thing learns from us. Also this is the point technology starts to look like real magic so just call me Gandalf the Grey because I made some AI art using verbal components like I was a wizard in D&D😄

Artificial Intelligence can produce an original essay, but: a) Reading is important for a perfect piece of writing. b) Writing is still necessary to learn. c) Hand drawn notes help create connections. d) Hand drawn notes help memorisation process.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 01:10 ChatGPT can generate original content in various styles, but its adaptability and value for education are still evolving. 02:16 AI's impact is pervasive, from personalizing experiences to shaping industries, but it remains largely unnoticed. 04:28 While AI can automate tasks, low-tech strategies and hands-on activities still hold value for deeper learning experiences. 05:37 Blocking AI tools out of fear limits students' opportunities to learn how to use AI effectively and responsibly. 06:20 "Vintage Innovation" encourages blending timeless and new approaches to prepare students for the future while emphasizing human skills and critical thinking.

Love it! FYI "Wisely" is misspelled in the video. Totally not the point, I know, and amazing video! But the English teacher in me couldn't help it(:

[@Yeomen1986]

Can you tell me which camp I fall into in your idea? I can't teach 30 kids a concept with an individualized differentiated approach, but the AI can. This means I allow and trust the AI to teach the rote (basic skills) that AI teaches best. I provided added differentiation when the AI fails (I will always be superior to an AI in a 1 to 1 setting). After the rote skills are developed we do hands on projects to put the skill into practice and utilize collaboration. I feel like i'm somewhere between your ideal and techno-futurism? I'm using the AI for what it's best with.

[@marcthompson195]

This is all great and is very informative. The issues lie when students try to use it in a dishonest way. "Why should I be a critical thinker when I can just ask AI?" People can be lazy and that seems to be a negative trend in many people.

[@derek91362]

I like this because it recognizes the education system needs this kind of perspective before we through out either of these approaches. Look how long it took to admit calculators in the classroom or the mistake of throwing out memorization for 'critical thinking". So now at 72 a retired executive, I find myself doing arithmetic in my head and memorizing lyrics to songs to combat cognitive decline. Memorizing helps new neurons grow, as an example. Discernment at the higher level is a preferred way for education, knowing how to combine and merge the old with the new with judicious pruning of the old and prudent adoption of the new

[@andersonsystem2]

This is a very good video. I agree. AI is not going anywhere and so we should not fear but learn how to work with it.

[@aldrinjakeasis3859]

This video is great! As a college instructor teaching technology courses, I am deeply aware of these things. That's why using technology must come also with maturity as part of being digital native and good digital citizen. Using AI Detective tools can help schools or universities to track students using A.I and changing teaching and learning activities for more reliable and authentic assessment to easily assess and evaluate students learning.

Back a few years, Futurist Perttu Pölönen called it the Human Revolution which would call on humans to be creative, curious, problem-solvers. Basically zooming in on all that AI cannot do, but we can as humans. We utilise the AI to do things that AI are best at. We, humans, focus on things we are best at.
