AI



  Artificial Intelligence (AI) in schools

Artificial intelligence (AI) is defined as intelligence exhibited by machines, particularly computer systems. It is a field of research in computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and use learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals.

Schools will now have to adapt AI into the curriculum. According to Assembly Bill No. 2876, CHAPTER 927, passed in 2024. The bill would also require the commission to consider incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy content into the mathematics, science, and history-social science curriculum frameworks when those frameworks are next revised after January 1, 2025, and would require the commission to consider including AI literacy in its criteria for evaluating instructional materials when the state board next adopts mathematics, science, and history-social science instructional materials, as provided. 

With AI tools already prevalent not just in daily life but in the workforce, schools now find themselves needing to navigate several questions: When is it appropriate for students to use AI, and when is it not? How will schools teach students about AI literacy, including how to detect whether something is AI-generated or human? (Oct. 29, 2024, Kristen Taketa, The San Diego Union-Tribune)

Pros:    Teachers can use ChatGPT to create and grade papers.

Can be used as a learning tool to break down solving math problems and information having difficulty with understanding.

Cons:   Students can use AI to write their papers and solve math problems.

Using critical thinking skills is figuring out something or writing out something is going to fade away.

What are some other pros and cons you can think of for using AI at work, in your classroom, or just in everyday life?

Second Sunday of May

  Second Sunday of May, U.S. celebration What's right after Teacher Appreciation Week? Yes, it's Mother's Day, how convenient, since most teachers are considered mothers. Some of the teachers are more respected than their actual mothers. But this blog isn't about that; it's about whether or not you should celebrate it by making gifts for your students' mothers or not.  The history behind Mother's Day in the US is sad. In 1907, Anna Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother’s Day. Ms. Jarvis persuaded her mother’s church in Grafton, West Virginia, to celebrate Mother’s Day on the second anniversary of her mother’s death, which is the 2nd Sunday of May.  It was successful, as by 1911 Mother’s Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother’s Day as a national holiday that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May. He established the day as a ...

Ideas for Administrators for Teacher Relaxation

Image
                                        Take the time to relax your staff     It's not easy being in education. You have lesson plans, student issues, administration issues, district issues, and the list goes on and on. Then you come home and have to  cook, wash, help kids with their homework, grade papers, etc. But you can't let it get to you. You need to take the time to decompress and let yourself relax. But you have no time. The only time you have to yourself is the drive home.  And you don't want to risk taking off and using a sick day. What can you do? The World Health Organization (WHO) defines wellness as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”  This resource defines well-being in terms of the broad concept of ‘feeling good and functioning well. In other words, a ...

CHRISMAHANUKWANZAKAH

      Should Chrismahanukwanzakah be Allowed in Public Schools? Happy  Chrismahanukwanzakah !  Chrismahanukwanzakah  is a blend, in word and concept, of three holidays: the Christian Christmas, the Jewish Hanukkah and the African American Kwanzaa.  Chrismahanukwanzakah  is meant to be an inclusive celebration around December holidays for friends and family of diverse, interfaith backgrounds. It’s often used playfully, though, as a way to offset the dominance of Christmas in culture (Dictionary.com, 2021). Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa have always been celebrated at my school. I grew up with my grandmother on my father's side. My grandma was a Jehovah Witness. I was always jealous going to my friend's house around the holidays and seeing all the beautiful decorations. When I was young, I never understood why we couldn't decorate as they did. I would bring home the holiday things we made in school and put hang them up in the house. And the ne...
