Using AI for Learning
Generative AI has the potential to dramatically improve how people learn, acquire new skills, and get work done. How can we prepare students to leverage AI to support their learning and productivity?
How might students use AI to support their learning?
Some forms of AI and Machine Learning already support our students inside of tools they use for learning. For example, AI and Machine Learning powers some of the adaptive tools students use for skills practice in math and language arts. AI also may support students through grammar suggestions in Google Docs, or predictive text suggestions in Gmail.
Generative AI offers even greater potential for supporting student learning. For example, students may be able to use generative AI tools to get just-in-time help on assignments. Generative AI could help students practice skills by generating question sets or writing prompts or give students feedback on their writing to support revision> Generative AI could even surface videos or resources to help students learn certain topics or skills
Until we are able to provide students with a safe space to explore generativeAI tools, teachers should not encourage students to use any tool that requires creating an account or sharing personal information without having that tool reviewed first. Talk to your school’s IFT for more information about the review process.
What generative AI tools are available for students?
LCPS does not yet provide students access to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. If you find a tool that you are interested in using with students, you must submit that tool for review. Talk to you school’s IFT to discuss the tool you are interested in using and to learn more about the review process. Do not invite students to create accounts or create accounts for them without having a tool reviewed and approved first.
