New Teacher Stuff

AI and Teaching
|
AI is the new buzz in everything technology and especially Education is no exception. Here's how it helped me get my life back. Now, I'm by no means an expert and also recognize there are many layers of ethical concerns surrounding Generative AI. In my opinion its a tool and it can be wielded for good or evil. There is a path to balance ethical those concerns while also using it to combat the reality of the unrealistic expectations placed on teachers. It can not only help improve teaching but make it more possible to thrive!
