Teacher Education
A short video clip on teaching educators and students to critically evaluate and refine AI-generated content, fostering better decision-making in the classroom
Hear two veteran teacher educators describe how to prepare teacher candidates with the skills they’ll need for an AI-driven teaching environment.
Jessica Hurdley:
Many new teachers will be teaching kids who grew up with AI and don’t know any differently. What do you think are some skills that new teachers should have to deal with this changing environment and changing kind of knowledge scope of the kids that are growing up with ai?
Kim Stoffers:
Well, I think we really need to teach our teachers to use AI as a first draft principle. Our information we’re putting into something and they’re giving us something back, but we don’t just copy and paste what they give back. We’ve got to read through it. We may have to do some research, we don’t know what it’s hallucination or not. So we really just need to really teach them, okay, it’s still your stuff, putting it in. You’re getting something back. What are you going to look through? What’s true, what’s not? How can you enhance it? What other questions could you ask to get it a little bit deeper than where you’re at right now? And the other thing we also need to teach our students is how to change the font when they put it all onto a document because I know what you copy and paste when it all looks different. So I mean, that’s not something we really should teach ’em, but come on guys. If it’s straight copy and paste, then you’re clearly not reading through it and making it look like one unified document, but that’s beside the point.
