I felt that I received such a wealth of practical information from module 3 that was so relevant to teaching and learning and would definitely enhance my teaching and save time gathering resources. What I really like is how specific all these tools can be tailored to suit the needs of each individual pupil. Diffit was fantastic from the point of view of differentiation and supporting the needs of EAL pupils. Youtube translation was such a simple idea of putting on the subtitles for EAL pupils. Magic AI was superb as not only can you specifically tailor it for each pupil but it captures their interests and allow the pupils the opportunity to create a story that they feel part of, therefore will motivate them more. I thought the pupil IEP tool was excellent as it gives you a guide that you are on the right track and I loved the idea of creating social stories which supports the social and emotional skills which can often to be difficult to find resources that aid this area. Module 3 was a wealth of knowledge and something I feel would be very worthwhile sharing with other staff members. It really promotes the practical and positive side of AI.
I have to agree with you James regarding how AI is being used in China. It is imperative that teachers receive CPD as teachers may certainly feel overwhelmed with all the tools available for AI. I am glad to hear that you found Khan Academy useful and this is something I intend to use in September.
AI can most certainly transform the teaching and learning experience in the classroom in a positive way. I use google forms quite often for surveys as part of SSE which is extremely efficient and beneficial. It is a wonderful way of getting feedback from all members of the community in an efficient manner saving you time. Module 2 introduced me to the Immersive Reader which I think is an extremely beneficial tool for pupils experiencing difficulty with reading. I love the fact that you can change the background colour, break the words into syllables and the audio reader. Minecraft Education allows pupils the opportunity to problem solving and I have no doubt that it would motivate the pupils. AI can be used for administrative work and preparation for teaching and learning therefore allowing teachers the opportunity to spend more time teachi9ng and supporting pupils. I did find the use of AI in China quite unsettling and feel it is extremely important for teachers to receive CPD regarding AI and for the use of AI to be monitored.
I totally agree with Roisín’s point that we should embrace AI as a positive classroom tool. I really enjoyed module 1 as it has shown me the many different avenues where AI can be useful in the classroom. It will definitely make teaching, learning and assessment more engaging, therefore children will enjoy learning more. Generating worksheets that are specific to your class needs is a fantastic resource.
This year I used AI for paperwork and found it extremely helpful. Having completed this module it has made me reflect on the many positives AI has for potential classroom use and how it can impact future learning positively by compiling detailed resources and differentiating for all levels within the classroom. Khan academy is a wonderful resource which I will definitely be using in September. The fact that it allows you to tailor make your own assessments in many different forms makes it really personal to you and your class and allows you to produce meaningful resources while also saving time.
I also like the fact that AI can generate resources that are specific to your class needs and interests. You no longer have to waste time searching the web, books etc. for resources. Instead through the use of AI you have detailed comprehensions, asssessments, work samples, whatever you need which are all specific to your class level and it allow you to tailor for each pupils individual needs at the touch of a button. Overall AI has many positives to the assisting you with teaching, learning and assessment.
