With the rise of artificial intelligenceAdvocates say that this may be a useful tool for children and teachers – but other people say that it discourages students with significant thinking.
Many teachers are teaching themselves how to use AI. For Jerome Ong, a 5th grade teacher at Ridwood, New Jersey, AI has changed the teaching approach. He uses now Aye Equipment every week Class,
“You have to find out what works for your students,” he said.
Ong not only teaches its students what AI is – but also that it is low.
“If you look at it and say, ‘No, you are wrong. You are wrong’ – eventually Aye, ‘Forgive me, I was wrong.’ Doing this with your class can show you that AI is not really as smart as you think is, “Ong said.
Training teachers to use AI
In this summer, Microsoft, Openai and Anthropic announced their kind of plans to train hundreds of thousands of members of the country’s second largest teachers union, the American Federation of Teachers.
Microsoft President Brad Smith said, “I think if we are going to work for students AI, then for children, we need to listen to teachers.”
The investment of $ 23 million will go to virtual and in-tradition training in New York City.
AFT President Randy Wenningrton said, “AI has made tremendous promises but has big challenges – and to ensure that we have as teachers as our job that AI serves our students and society, not in another way.” In the announcement of the backward. “The direct connection between a teacher and their children can never be replaced by new techniques, but if we learn how to exploit it, set the common sense guard and teachers can be enhanced to teach, teaching and learning.”
Smith said, “I think, I think teachers have to change the way of working in ways that empower teachers, give them more information, make it easier in terms of classes preparation, thinking how to keep the text plans together,” Smith said.
Recently in a survey Galp and Walton Family FoundationThe teachers reported about six hours a week with the help of AI.
Ong said that if AI is already here, “Let us try to find out this to help and increase it.”
However, critics cheated on concerns and Microsoft’s own researchWhich saw a self-reported decline in critical thinking skills when AI was not used responsibly.
“This is a way to get a profit,” said former high school teacher and a cognate member Lois Vener.
She thinks that teachers will be provided better service within schools than an alliance with Silicon Valley.
Wner said, “The job is very intoxicated in the job, but the answer is to improve the conditions of the teachers’ work,” Wner said, AI does not meet the improvement in work status for teachers.
Smith said that education should eventually be left for teachers, “In the technical field, there is a need to provide equipment to those of us and empower school boards and districts and teachers so that they decide how to keep those equipment into practice.”
Change in policy
CBS News analyzed changes in AI policies in the country’s largest 20 school districts between 2023 and 2025.
The analysis found that while some district policies were unclear in 2023 or did not block the use of AI initially, now guidance on how it can be used in class.
