@RondaEurey It definitely has benefits even in the elementary classroom! From creating fun activities to helping supplement what you are already teaching, there is so much to utilize!

"Today, my team and I began brainstorming our response to AI in education — from content filtering to plagiarism policies to teacher and student learning opportunities. There are so many implications, barriers, opportunities, but one...

What are your thoughts on attempting to keep classrooms silent throughout the day? While I appreciate the need to keep order during instructional time, expecting students to spend most of the day silently working is unrealistic. #education #teachers #k12 #educhat #teaching

What do you think? I love this mindset of working with technology and not against it, especially as we prepare students for life outside the school setting. At the same time, how do you protect academic integrity?

...AI is going to be part of that landscape. I’m excited to build a response with a great group of people that embraces AI as a power tool but teaches students to self-impose ethical boundaries on their use.
