I would like to know if you believe your recommendations are also applicable to K-12 teachers. If so, who will teach them? When will they find the time to learn? How far behind their students (7-12, in particular) are they already?
The only people I've seen commenting about ChatGPT (any version) in education are retired K-12 teachers, educational pundits, and non-teachers. Since the program only came out in November, K-12 teachers have not had time to learn about it or learn how to cope with it, let alone adapt it to their teaching practices.
I have been dipping my toes in ChatGPT and find it extraordinary. (I teach Business Management to 11th graders in an IB program). I find the practical tips and examples you share in this article will be very helpful to me. I am even considering conducting a brief workshop for colleagues using these tips. (I work in a British School in Uruguay). Thank you! Maria (Blanco Pate)
Thanks for sprinkling in a great set of references in addition to the really interesting thoughts on AI in teaching. What's the best starting point for learning about the new insights from pedagogy research?
Interesting that it chose opportunity cost examples specific to college and college students - was this because it keyed off the word "college?" If it had been "university" or "advanced degree" would it have chosen university-related examples. If one specified "real-world opportunity costs" or "post graduation"... I may be answering my own question here....
I used to develop curriculum in a past life. Would be interesting to see it generate in-class activities. In fact, when GPT 4 makes image gen available, would be cool to do this example again and see if it can create class room activity resources, diagrams, graphs, etc... An AI-based curriculum developer would put a lot of publishers in an awkward spot! (Educational publishing is a tough market - regulations govern what schools can purchase.)
Hey, you and the guy at “AI Explained” youtube channel are doing by far the best journalism right now on AI. It’d be really interesting if you two started a podcast! Regardless, I’d contact him, I bet you two would hit it off if you aren’t in touch already. Thanks for the great work!
Thank you for continuing to be a voice for how AI can be used well. I appreciate your thoughts and your tone.

Super useful. Trying to build a product useful for teachers based on AI
Really it is very useful

This is so in-depth and practical. Thanks!
I'm missing one thing. Why do you say
I want you to ask me two questions
instead of providing the information directly in your prompt?

But if AI isn't necessarily accurate, why encourage this?

Schools got to teach kids how to use these tools rather than just banning it
Ethan, do you have a link or reference to the Sarah Thoms work from which you've taken the pedagogical science chart?
