When ChatGPT came on the scene, instantly, educators started considering its implications on the classroom. Would students use it to do their homework for them? (That's an easy one. Yes.)
What will the future of education look like with artificial intelligence in the equation? And how do we proceed right now as we learn more about it and what it can do? Those are harder questions.
That's why we assembled this panel of educators to talk about it. As of the recording of this video, ChatGPT had been available to the public in a research preview for less than two weeks.
Our panel includes:
Victoria Thompson, Microsoft education executive and former classroom teacher
Donnie Piercey, fifth grade teacher and 2021 Kentucky State Teacher of the Year
Holly Clark, education consultant and National Board Certified Teacher (formerly in the classroom)
Dee Lanier, author, speaker, and former classroom teacher
It's moderated by Matt Miller, author and creator of Ditch That Textbook (http://ditchthattextbook.com) and former classroom teacher.
This video is part of a bigger project by Ditch That Textbook to think about impacts, considerations, and classroom ideas surrounding artificial intelligence and the classroom. You can find that content at: http://ditch.link/ai
