I am passionate about AI in education.
Economies die because of underutilized or wasted resources.
Our educations system is horrible at wasting everyone's time right now. Source: I've been teaching since the 1990's and learning in school since the late 1970's or 1980.
AI can fix most of that.
Example: It has been many years since I looked a C code and I never really understood much about the Linux Kernel, even back when I tried to contribute to it in the 1990's. Yesterday I started chatting with ChatGPT on how I could understand the code in the Linux Kernel. I made some progress towards a previously inscrutable goal.
I am teaching my students how to use AI to learn anything they need to know.
- Uplus1F636 3y agoInteresting topic, I was thinking a bit about this too recently. I just released a simple flashcards app[0] and I was thinking how I could use AI to either help with memory retention or extend user's content or create quizes or explain topics etc. Can you recommend any specific sources to get interesting ideas/projects/news/opinions on AI in education? [0] https://byheart.io/ https://byheart.io/ - it's a pet project so both app and website are rather basic. Btw guess what tool helped me create text content for website[1] [1] It was ChatGPT
- mrAssHat 3y agoProblem with learning from AI is that you don't know if it's telling you b/s or not.
- InSteady 3y agoTo be fair, also true of teachers. Even at the college level sometimes. Probably happens a lot more frequently with AI tools, though.
- afpx 3y agoReminds me when my 6th grade history teacher taught from the old testament. Of course, with standardization maybe that doesn't happen much anymore.
