Teachers are typically emotionally and mentally drained at the end of the school year. It is really i portant to have sole time to recharge, but once the “teaching” tank is full, it is go time!
I an teaching summer school right now online, which is fine, but I miss the human interaction, the inappropriate jokes, mentoring, and relationship building of the school year.
I have been starting to think about changes I want to make for this school year. In that vein, I bought an audiobook called, Teaching With A.I. by Jose Antonio Bowen. It is a little heavy for an audiobook, but really interesting. I might get the paperback copy as well so I can annotate it.
The rate at which A.I. is changing the nature of work is truly astounding. Humans working with machine learning are going to accomplish incredible things in the next twenty years. My question is: How Can Educators Catch Up?
The pace of technological change is so fast now, that even students are having trouble keeping up with it. So I think I will spend some time diving deeper into this topic before school starts.
I have a bunch of new tools that our district is piloting to try out including Brisk and Magic Schoolbus. These platforms can do a myriad of things: create a presentation on a topic or series of topics, create a quiz for a YouTube Video without the teacher having to watch it, and even write your emails for you!
We had some trainings on this stuff towards the end of last year, but I didn’t have the bandwidth to really dive into it.
Thanks for visiting The Lifelong Education Blog! Don’t forget to start stocking up on school supplies! Have a blessed day!
