Yesterday I listened to an AWESOME panel from the recent AI week at MIT with Mitch Resnick and Justin Reich on AI that would have been fun to listen to and discuss with a group of Vermont educators and ed tech thinkers.

Skip past the first 10 minutes of intro stuff-
The good stuff starts somewhere between 10 - 14 minutes in.

I especially loved the part where Justin Reich tells us that we are justifiably overwhelmed considering the that the past 3 years in education we were hit with
First the pandemic
Then the kids came back angry, but didn't know why they were angry, so they take out their feelings on teachers and whoever was next to them at school
Then a Tech innovation (AI) becomes accessible to students that pretty much do most everything you assign them
- and now ed tech developers are rushing in with all these platforms and apps
No wonder we are gasping for air and overwhelmed
Justin also referred to several other times in history when technology innovation disrupted how we approached education - and encouraged to consider how AI is the same or different from those previous times in history.
I think the panel is worth a LISTEN to and perhaps we can discuss it more next week at Dynamic Landscape.
Here is an AI generated summary from Gemini:
The video is about a symposium on generative AI and education.
The speakers are discussing the potential of generative AI to transform learning and education, as well as the challenges that it poses. They also talked about ways to ensure that generative AI is used equitably and inclusively.
Here are the key points from the video:
- Generative AI has the potential to improve teaching and learning by providing students with new opportunities to explore and experiment.
- However, it is important to use generative AI in a way that promotes creativity, critical thinking, and social interaction.
- We need to make sure that generative AI is used equitably and inclusively, so that all students have the opportunity to benefit from it.
- Educators need to be prepared to use generative AI effectively in the classroom.
The speakers also discussed some of the past waves of educational technology and how they can inform our thinking about generative AI. They argued that it is important to focus on the human aspects of learning, such as creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, even as we integrate new technologies into the classroom.
