Educator Guide to Using ChatGPT: An Essential Tool for Saving Time, Supporting Your Learners, and Thinking about AI for Education

by Jon Fila

As technology evolves faster than our ability to keep pace with it, educators are turning away from (or toward) artificial intelligence (AI) to do what they’ve always done, prepare learners for their futures. Many educators are unfamiliar with AI and may be unsure of how to integrate it effectively into their teaching practice, some avoid it, want it banned, or are frustrated by the students who are already using it in their submissions. This is where, An Educator’s Guide to Artificial Intelligence, comes in. The guide covers a wide range of topics, benefits and limitations, practical applications of AI in the classroom, and how teachers can use it to save time. It explores ethical considerations related to the use of AI in education, such as bias and equity. The guide demonstrates concrete examples of how educators can use AI tools to support and enhance student learning outcomes, while tying the topics to past education initiatives that were also disruptive to the field.

The goal is to provide educators with a resource that demystifies AI and helps them feel more confident using it in their teaching. It will provide educators with the knowledge and tools they need to use AI ethically and responsibly in ways that can include and excite their learners. Most importantly, it will contribute to a larger conversation about the role of AI in education and help educators find comfort in the latest developments in this rapidly-evolving field.

As we continue to navigate a global pandemic that has forced many educators to teach remotely or in hybrid settings, the need for innovative and effective teaching strategies has never been greater. AI has the potential not just to disrupt, but to help us advance in ways never before possible.
