In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping education, a crucial question emerges: How can we harness AI to support social-emotional learning (SEL) and cultivate empathy in our increasingly digital classrooms? This post explores the intersection of AI and SEL, highlighting innovative approaches to create more supportive, empathetic learning environments. The Critical Role of…
Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Computing is an approach to artificial intelligence and machine learning where human judgment is integrated into the decision-making process. Instead of allowing AI systems to operate completely autonomously, HITL ensures that humans are involved in key stages of the process, particularly in training, validating, or adjusting the system. This approach helps enhance the…
Have you ever wondered how your phone knows what you’re about to type next or how video games get so good at predicting your moves? That’s all thanks to something called Artificial Intelligence, or AI for short. AI might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it’s actually a part of our everyday…
When we think about the future of learning, our minds often wander to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). These technologies have the potential to revolutionize how we learn and process information. But what if we could couple these advanced technologies with experiential learning? Good friend Anna CohenMiller pinged me on this topic recently,…
How is AI changing the way we teach and learn? In an interactive webinar, I joined Samantha L. Bart-Addison, Raúl Alberto Mora, and Peggy Semingson to discuss the applications for—and implications of—bringing generative AI and the tools it powers, such as ChatGPT, into schools and classrooms. We identified the knowledge needed to effectively incorporate generative…
Kate Crawford’s “Atlas of AI” presents a unique perspective on artificial intelligence (AI). Rather than focusing solely on its technical aspects, she delves into the often-overlooked societal implications of AI, including its environmental footprint, political consequences, and ethical dilemmas. The Book in Three Sentences “Atlas of AI” by Kate Crawford is an insightful exploration of…
As a content creator, I know the importance of preserving and making my blog posts accessible and integrated into my broader knowledge management workflow. My goal was to archive my WordPress blog posts seamlessly, have them readily available in my commonplace book, and leverage the power of an AI assistant to enhance my ability to…
In the dynamic realm of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education, educators continually seek innovative teaching methods that promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills. One approach I’ve adopted in one of my classes involves students tackling “wicked problems” using a STEAM lens. This unique assignment leverages generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and models…
In an earlier post, I discussed some of my recent thinking on the topic of “What do people do better than computers?” Keep in mind that these thoughts will change over time, as the only constant we have in our work is change. In response to this post, Matthias Melcher shared this great post on…
In the era of rapidly advancing technology, computers have become an integral part of our daily lives, revolutionizing the way we work, communicate, and solve problems. However, there are certain aspects of life where humans still hold a distinct advantage over computers. In this blog post, we will explore the unique strengths of human abilities…
