AI skills are becoming essential in many fields. Instead of shunning AI, we should integrate it into education and modernize our teaching methods.

Using AI as a tool is different from using it to cheat. Knowledge is still necessary for deep understanding and application, and students need to genuinely learn material, not just appear to.

I see your point but think our approach to education needs updating. Students are disengaged, and we should rethink what activities are truly beneficial.

When schools provided Chromebooks, it changed the dynamics of learning and assessment, for better or worse.
Ensuring equal participation in discussions is challenging. How can we prevent students from using AI covertly during these sessions?
Written assignments done in class can help verify that students are not using AI.
It’s crucial to clarify our goals. If we accept AI as a tool for formulating thoughts, then discussions can work well. However, if the aim is to assess independent thought without AI, then we need stricter measures.
Handling accommodations for students who avoid speaking due to anxiety is tough. As an experienced educator, I recognize AI-generated work, which differs from student-generated content, usually less polished but more genuine.
