Facing Common Fears of AI in the classroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many negative discussions surrounding AI in the classroom currently. For reference, I have linked a few below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-wp-embed is-provider-the-hill wp-block-embed-the-hill\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/education\/4162766-ai-cheating-has-hopelessly-irreparably-corrupted-us-higher-education\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Educators worry about students using artificial intelligence to cheat<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/show\/educators-worry-about-students-using-artificial-intelligence-to-cheat\">https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/show\/educators-worry-about-students-using-artificial-intelligence-to-cheat<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being a teacher means <strong>adapting to the current needs of a classroom<\/strong>, which change every year. I had to adjust my core beliefs and accept that these students grew up with Google. When they want to know something they search it up, read it, and then they know it. I demonstrated comprehension of materials by writing essays where I synthesized multiple events or ideas, but this wasn\u2019t what I was asking my students to do. <strong>I had to accept that I was just asking them to rephrase the information that was already given to them. <\/strong>This is relevant when we discuss AI because assignments that could easily be completed by just putting the question into Google are also easily completed with putting the question into AI. It is our job to end the copy and paste epidemic that is taking over our schools, and that starts with adjusting our assignments. We need to \u201cremind ourselves why we are assigning it &#8211; and reinforce the benefit it brings to our students\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/ditchthattextbook.com\/ai-tools\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/ditchthattextbook.com\/ai-tools\/\">Ditchthattextbook<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many educators and researchers response to this, while some may view it an controversial, is to reevaluate the assignments that are being given to students. &nbsp;I remember last year I had students completing an assignment that required short answer summary responses. The students were furious with me. I originally thought they were upset because of the amount of work, however when I talked with them I learned that they felt the assignment was pointless. They told me that they felt like they were just restating what they had already read; one student specifically stated that they felt like they were just a human google, spitting out a rewrite of information that was already published.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, here are a few more articles that align with adjusting our assignments and tasks to meet the needs of modern learners. These focus on understanding that traditional education models are obsolete and offer solutions for how educators can change their expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why AI Makes Traditional Education Models Obsolete &#8211; and What to Do About It <\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.minervaproject.com\/insights\/why-ai-makes-traditional-education-models-obsolete-and-what-to-do-about-it\">https:\/\/www.minervaproject.com\/insights\/why-ai-makes-traditional-education-models-obsolete-and-what-to-do-about-it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The GPT college classroom is almost here, but professors say AI isn&#8217;t the real threat<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/chatgpt-ai-university-school-student-educators-reaction-2023-8\">https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/chatgpt-ai-university-school-student-educators-reaction-2023-8<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can AI Align with TCE? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curriculum is co-constructed <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Using AI is a great way for students and teachers to work together. By seeing educators embrace AI, we are showing students that we are not afraid of \u201ccheating\u201d , that we are willing to adapt and that we are modern learners ourselves. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is a new tool for everyone, and there is something very powerful about learning a new tool alongside your students. This can help the students feel empowered because we are able to ask for their feedback and discuss the AI tools with them as equals, not as leader\/teacher and student\/follower.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Embracing AI requires that teachers question their own values and shy away from the traditional \u201cAI is just plain cheating\u201d mindset. It requires that we look at other discussions teachers and educational leaders are having around ways they are embracing AI in their classrooms. <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">It turns teachers back into learners<\/span><\/strong> and it allows for really meaningful and equitable discussions to happen between educators and their students.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"647\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-teaching-practices\/files\/2023\/10\/30-Figure1-1-1024x647.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-teaching-practices\/files\/2023\/10\/30-Figure1-1-1024x647.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-teaching-practices\/files\/2023\/10\/30-Figure1-1-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-teaching-practices\/files\/2023\/10\/30-Figure1-1-768x485.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-teaching-practices\/files\/2023\/10\/30-Figure1-1.png 1228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teachers and Students Engage in Critical Consciousness <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Embracing AI means asking ourselves tough questions. For example, I had to ask myself what the purpose of the short answer summaries was that I was asking my students to complete. I had to take something that was a CORE element of my personal schooling and admit that it is becoming obsolete. This was difficult! However, it is these kinds of difficulties that increase critical consciousness in the classroom. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This mindset shift helped once again remind me that I work in partnership with my students and the community, and not against them or on my own. I need to know my students, the world they are growing up in, and do my best to understand their relationship with technology. It requires me to remove my own experience as a student from my values and bias surrounding education, which can be hard but is necessary.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Showing the students new and innovative ways to use AI in the classroom helped them think critically about the world around them. Yes, I can use these tools to write an essay in under a minute, but how else can I use these? AI is so new and our students are at the front of it, which puts them in a really powerful and unique position.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-teaching-practices\/files\/2023\/10\/Critical-Consciousness-graphic-900x749-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-teaching-practices\/files\/2023\/10\/Critical-Consciousness-graphic-900x749-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-teaching-practices\/files\/2023\/10\/Critical-Consciousness-graphic-900x749-1-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-teaching-practices\/files\/2023\/10\/Critical-Consciousness-graphic-900x749-1-768x639.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Use of AI in a Secondary Social Studies Classroom &#8211; A Tool to Increase Teacher Happiness, Retention, and Job Satisfaction <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am interested in researching how the implementation of trauma-informed practice in classrooms can increase educator happiness, retention rates, and job satisfaction rates. AI aligns greatly with this theme because there are many tools that educators can use to aid them in the classroom. In a world of larger class sizes, decreased availability of classroom aids, and the social emotional support that our students need, AI can help educators across the nation meet their students needs while also helping them adjust their time and energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classpoint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"10 Ways to Make an Interactive PowerPoint Presentation\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7piYimgVi6s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Classpoint is something that I can easily add in and truthfully, I am really excited to try it.

I scaffold choice-board unit performance tasks throughout the year and towards the last few units students are challenged to push themselves. I look forward to developing a unit surrounding social transformations in the United States, with a focus on scientific inquiry, the shift to a technological economy, impact of mass media and expansion of civil rights. The unit will be focusing on the following learning targets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Following World War II, the United States experienced a struggle for racial and gender equality and the extension of civil rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-The postwar economic boom and advances in science and technology, produced changes in American life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Political debates focused on the extent of the role of government in the economy, environmental protection, social welfare and national security<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Processes I will use to Implement CBCI in the Unit Plan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will identify essential key concepts for students to learn, and the students will choose one main concept to focus their project on<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students will use their own pre-assessment data to guide their learning<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Students will write their own essential questions that their classmates will use to peer-grade<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The multi-element choice board will include options that appeal to multiple intelligences\/learning styles<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choice board options will be the same for all students, however, the information used to respond to the prompts and demonstrate comprehension will be differentiated for students who are ELL, Gifted, have an IEP in place, are in an honors level-course, or require other individualized adjustments<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using AI in CBCI Unit Plan:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will definitely be using Turnitin during my CBCI unit plan. Students are writing their own essential questions and their classmates will peer-grade. I am also going to have TurnitIn grade their responses. The first step is students formulating a response to the essential question, which I may attempt to have them use AI to do as well. However, this means that I will be receiving a large amount of structured responses in a very short period of time. Since the unit plan builds daily, the quicker I can provide feedback the better it is for the students. This can really decrease my turn-around time for grading their responses and give them immediate feedback that they can use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Collection of Resources on How AI Can Make Education More Personal, Assist Teachers in the Classroom, and Improve Instruction. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7 AI Tools That Help Teachers Work More Efficiently<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edutopia.org\/article\/7-ai-tools-that-help-teachers-work-more-efficiently\/#:~:text=How%20AI%20Can%20Improve%20A,instantly%20adapt%20student%20learning%20materials.\">https:\/\/www.edutopia.org\/article\/7-ai-tools-that-help-teachers-work-more-efficiently\/#:~:text=How%20AI%20Can%20Improve%20A,instantly%20adapt%20student%20learning%20materials.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-ai-for-good wp-block-embed-ai-for-good\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"IdpRLD95y0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aiforgood.itu.int\/4-ways-ai-can-optimize-learning-and-teaching\/\">4 ways AI can optimize learning and teaching<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;4 ways AI can optimize learning and teaching&#8221; &#8212; AI for Good\" src=\"https:\/\/aiforgood.itu.int\/4-ways-ai-can-optimize-learning-and-teaching\/embed\/#?secret=1t8KKjtnQR#?secret=IdpRLD95y0\" data-secret=\"IdpRLD95y0\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">AI For Good: 4 Ways AI Can Optimize Learning &amp; Teaching <br><a href=\"https:\/\/aiforgood.itu.int\/4-ways-ai-can-optimize-learning-and-teaching\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/aiforgood.itu.int\/4-ways-ai-can-optimize-learning-and-teaching\/\">https:\/\/aiforgood.itu.int\/4-ways-ai-can-optimize-learning-and-teaching\/<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI In Education: 5 Ways it Can Assist Teachers <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viewsonic.com\/library\/education\/ai-in-education-5-ways-it-can-assist-teachers\/\">https:\/\/www.viewsonic.com\/library\/education\/ai-in-education-5-ways-it-can-assist-teachers\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI Can Make Education More Personal (Yes, Really) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edweek.org\/leadership\/opinion-ai-can-make-education-more-personal-yes-really\/2023\/08\">https:\/\/www.edweek.org\/leadership\/opinion-ai-can-make-education-more-personal-yes-really\/2023\/08<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/introduction-ai-education-revolutionizing-learning-technology\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/introduction-ai-education-revolutionizing-learning-technology<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Julie is an amazing teacher with great insights about AI in the secondary classroom.
