"What's the future, what are the uses, and what are the concerns about AI?"
Matt Doering is the Director of Curriculum and Instruction at Lakeside Lutheran High School. He recognized a big need at his school: to not only understand the concerns around AI in education, but to use AI effectively to empower teachers in the classroom.
The BIG Problem with AI
For many educators today, AI is a scary unknown. How are teachers and administrators supposed to handle it? Should we police it, prohibit it, ignore it and hope it goes away?
ChatGPT is here to stay, and every day it gains both popularity and power in the modern world. As educators, we need to lead the way, not run away!
