Session description

 Not since banning calculators has a technology caused as much concern. Will it lead to massive cheating? The real challenge, and opportunity, for educators, is to develop thoughtful assignments leading to original, creative work. This will be a fast moving summary of the challenges and benefits of these powerful tools.

Purpose & objective

The purpose of this session is to inform educators about ChatGPT and other similar artificial intelligence applications. It will also address the concerns teachers have about it being used by students to cheat. Detection tools will be described and evaluated. The most time will be spent on providing participants with a wide variety of ideas for classroom use, covering al grade levels and subject areas.

The AI technology used for this session is a web site. Other resources will include lesson plans, articles, news videos, and interviews. Links to these will be included
Because this application is new, there has not been a great deal of formal research completed. There have been many scholarly articles written, along with editorials and review.
Evidence of success At this time, there is anecdotal and factual information about students using AI in schools.

Supporting research

Artificial intelligence
My research is grounded in constructivist and experiential learning theory, developed and influenced by John Dewey, Lev Vygotsky, Jean Piaget, Jerome Bruner, and Montessori. Given the nature of emerging technologies, the majority of the articles and web sites cited will be less than three months old at the time of this presentation.
