It has only been about a year since ChatGPT was launched to the public (Nov 30 2022 to be exact haha) and there has already been so much buzz about how generative AI is going to change the world, including the way we teach and learn.
I've dabbled with ChatGPT over the past year, getting it to do things like crafting an acknowledgement letter for parents, come up with an MCQ quiz, adjust a news article to different reading levels, suggest books to read based on my interests, and even suggest an itinerary for my holiday. But all these tasks were 'ad-hoc' in nature, and I felt that I have not grasped how to use AI in a more systematic and intentional manner. I also did not feel like we are fully prepared to adjust the way T&L is done when more students start using ChatGPT to complete their assignments (e.g. how do we adjust our rubrics to ensure we are assessing them based on their thought processes rather than only focusing on the end product?). Hence the decision to pick up this book, to hopefully get some answers to my questions.
Penning my notes and reflections from reading this book in this post!
Bottomline: Students need to learn how to effectively work with AI rather than have AI do their work for them. Teachers must help every student learn how to use AI productively, develop AI literacy and access AI tools to help them learn and engage. (And to achieve this, we teachers must first learn how to engage meaningfully with AI ourselves!)
