I encourage all of my district leadership friends in Florida and elsewhere to consider the below opportunity through Education First: the AIxCoherence Academy. (Direct link to program details here: https://lnkd.in/eExDbj9P) This is the kind of intentional, guided opportunity that will accelerate systems to deliberately explore the implications of AI in learning. A HUGE opportunity! A mix of workshop-driven collaboration and 1:1 coaching support. The implications here re: AI require intention, deliberation, dedication, and TIME. Here's a way to do it!

Are you still thinking about integrating AI into your teaching? Here is why you should do it: AI tools like #ChatGPT are transforming the teaching landscape, offering personalized learning experiences, instant feedback, and resourceful assistance. #Educators can use #AI to generate lesson plans, simplify complex concepts, and even engage students with interactive discussions. With AI, teachers have more time to focus on fostering critical thinking and creativity, as routine tasks become streamlined. However, reliance on technology comes with #concerns. There's the risk of diminishing human interaction, which is vital for emotional intelligence and relationship building in the classroom. Overdependence on AI may also limit #problem-solving skills and hinder students' ability to think independently. Teaching is all about connecting with your students through an incredible invisible bond that is very powerful. The key is #balance. AI tools like ChatGPT can enhance #education, but they should complement, not replace, the human touch that defines effective teaching. When used thoughtfully, AI can be an #empowering ally in the evolving world of education. If still in doubt, connect with an #instructionalcoach #AIinEducation #EdTech #FutureofLearning #AIandTeachers #teachertraining #successelearning #teachingmethods #draswathy

“Sustaining and scaling innovation in education is not about jumping on the latest technology bandwagon. It’s about thoughtful, deliberate growth that places student learning at the center. By creating structured pathways for innovation and fostering collaboration between IT and instructional teams, school districts can ensure that the tools they adopt are not only exciting but transformative—and built to last.” Thank you to Education Technology Insights for the opportunity to share our framework.

The 2024 EDUCAUSE Horizons report focuses on the impact of AI on education. The full report takes longer to read if you opt to click on the links to supporting resources. With apologies to Cliff Notes, I've attempted to provide a comprehensive overview. The quality of the content is worth downloading the report and referring to it from time-to-time as you consider increasing the level of AI activity at your institution. https://lnkd.in/eByXDdj9
