Helping teachers meet individual student needs.
Every student learns differently, but one teacher cannot provide individualized instruction to every student during every class.
Teachers have always adopted new tools to help students learn. Artificial intelligence is one of the newest tools available to teachers.
Many teachers routinely consult digital reference sources to verify information, explore related ideas, and discover examples that make difficult concepts easier to understand.
Artificial intelligence is another tool available to teachers.
With a phone, tablet, or laptop computer, students can ask artificial intelligence to explain a mathematical proof, solve a chemistry problem, or suggest revisions to an essay.
Whether teachers choose to use artificial intelligence or not, many of their students already do.
Teachers decide what students should learn. They decide how it should be taught, how learning will be evaluated, and which students need additional help or greater challenges.
Until now, providing additional help for students who do not understand a lesson has required more time than most teachers have available.
Artificial intelligence gives teachers another way to provide further explanations, additional practice, or a different approach for the students who need it. Students who have already mastered the lesson can receive more challenging work or explore the subject in greater depth.
Teachers can use artificial intelligence to locate background information, generate practice exercises, and explore different ways to explain difficult concepts.
The teacher teaches the lesson. Artificial intelligence provides students who need it with individualized help.
The best classroom applications of artificial intelligence have probably not yet been discovered.
Teachers will discover classroom applications that no software developer, administrator, or educational theorist could ever anticipate.
The future of teaching will be determined by the classroom teachers who discover better ways to help their students learn.
