Teaching with AI
I built a chrome plugin called Revision History [1] that I released about 2.5 weeks ago, so I've been talking to a good number of educators about this recently.  I'd say the majority of teachers are terrified of AI, because it means that they have to completely change how they teach with only a few months' notice. It's not easy to change your lesson plans or assignment structures that quickly and it'll take time to see where this all lands.<p>Some teachers are looking for ways <i>not to adapt</i>, which is why there's a surge of interest in AI detection (which doesn't work well), but the sharpest educators I talk to are cognizant of the fact that there is no going back. So the plan is to incorporate AI into their curriculum and try to make assignments more "AI proof". This means more in-class work (e.g., the "flipped classroom" model [2]). Others are looking for ways to encourage students to use AI on assignments, but to revise and annotate what AI generates for them (this is what I am marketing my plugin for). Either way, it's going to be very rough over the next few years as educators scramble to keep us with a monstrous change that came about practically overnight.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.revisionhistory.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.revisionhistory.com</a>. The plugin helps teachers see the students' process for drafting papers, unlike many than other plugins that are trying to be "AI detectors".<p>[2] <a href="https://bokcenter.harvard.edu/flipped-classrooms#:~:text=A%20flipped%20classroom%20is%20structured,that%20involve%20higher%20order%20thinking" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://bokcenter.harvard.edu/flipped-classrooms#:~:text=A%2...</a>.
