AI for Educators Quotes

“In the end, if using AI tools cuts your planning time from 30 minutes to 18 minutes—or your grading time from 40 minutes to 22—that extra time it creates is yours. Use it however you wish. Plan out that cool lesson you’ve always wanted to do. Or go home early. The choice is yours. I know this type of decision feels pretty foreign to us—deciding what to do with extra time. Whether we use it to do something amazing for our students or preserve our mental health, everyone wins.”

“What does it mean to be a person? What makes us special as human beings? What can we do that artificial intelligence can’t—or what are we better at?

“If you need a concept explained or defined, an AI assistant can provide that explanation—and do it in as detailed or simple a manner as you’d like. On episode 99 of the Partial Credit Podcast, Jesse Lubinsky shared that he asked for a definition of “faith” in terms a child would understand. That helped me realize that it can give definitions, descriptions, and explanations (which we expected) and level them up or down in complexity.”

“Let’s provide creative, authentic ways for students to show what they know. Creativity in learning can help students with motivation. It can help them make use of their own unique talents and skills. It can help them feel seen and heard and noticed.”

“Collaborative work is the future of career readiness.”
