Last night, Tamika M. Davis, MLS, MS (on right), presented a session on artificial intelligence (AI) in education. The session was hosted by the Beta Gamma Chapter of North Carolina Delta Kappa Gamma (DKG), and on the left is Brittany Roberts, President of the Beta Gamma Chapter. DKG is an international society of key women educators. Davis and Roberts are both key women educators. One of the goals of DKG is to apprise educators of trends and issues in education. AI is a rapidly evolving technology and it is important for teachers to know how to use it as a tool for teaching and learning, as well as how to help students be good, ethical digital citizens as they use AI. Ms. Davis shared with the educators in the audience how to use AI to create high impact, equitable lessons. She explained how AI can enhance personalized learning, tutor intelligently, coach, write lesson plans, build presentations, summarize concepts succinctly at an age-appropriate level, and more.
Ms. Davis gave examples of why it is important to fact-check AI responses and how AI detection software like "Turn it In" can hold students accountable for developing their own work and not having AI replace thinking. The meeting was held in Kiser Middle School, which is in the process of getting a new building, a state-of-the-art facility. It will be perfect for using teacher and technology resources to provide lessons that cater to the learning needs of each student. Educators like Ms. Davis and Ms. Roberts and organizations like Delta Kappa Gamma are prime examples of everything that is right about education. Oh, and Ms. Davis's glasses can access AI and serve as a phone; no headphones or AirPods needed. If it seems like she is standing alone talking to someone, the is. If there is a K-12 child in your life, see what they know about AI. There is a lot to think about and a lot to learn- and the younger generation is already on board!
Happy Wednesday!
