The toothpaste is out of the tube and we can’t put it back. The launch of ChatGPT has shown us that robots can complete traditional school tasks. And now that? I first asked ChatGPT what he thinks the teaching changes will be and then I give my take on how teaching will be different after AI:

From ChatGPT
Artificial intelligence (AI) has already begun to transform the field of education and is likely to have a significant impact on the way teaching is delivered in the future. Here are some ways that teaching can be different after AI:
- Personalized learning: AI can help teachers personalize learning for each student by analyzing their learning style, interests, and abilities. You can suggest personalized learning paths and resources, adapt instruction based on student progress, and provide real-time feedback to help students stay on track.
- Augmented Reality – AI combined with Augmented Reality (AR) can provide students with immersive and interactive learning experiences. AR can help bring abstract concepts to life and create a more engaging and memorable learning experience.
- Intelligent Tutoring – AI-powered intelligent tutoring systems can provide students with personalized feedback and guidance, similar to a human tutor. They can adapt to the student’s learning pace, provide instant feedback, and help students identify areas where they need to improve.
- Enhanced data analysis: AI can help educators analyze large amounts of data to identify patterns and trends in student performance. This can help them make data-driven decisions and develop targeted interventions to support struggling students.
- Automation: AI can automate administrative tasks like grading, scheduling, and attendance tracking, allowing teachers to focus on teaching and provide more personalized support to their students.
Overall, the use of AI in education has the potential to improve the quality of education and make it more accessible and inclusive. However, it is important to recognize that AI is not a substitute for human teachers, but rather a tool that can help them deliver high-quality education.
How will teaching be different after AI?
Obviously I can only speculate. I have been appalled by the way computers have been used to robotize education. My school used a HORRIBLE online program for credit recovery. Kids deserve a better education than poor quality test questions after being forced to watch a boring video. Is this what inspires us to love learning? Compliance rarely does.

Why do we have schools?
Right now there are students taking digital courses without a qualified instructor. At the high school I was teaching at last year, there is a classroom supervised by a paraprofessional (without a teaching credential) who watches students take classes including basic math, American history, physics, Spanish language, English 10 and more. . Therefore, it is possible to forgo having qualified teachers and just leave the children in front of a computer.
Is this really the purpose of the school? To put the answers on one line?
There is currently no qualified 9th grade math teacher at the high school my child will attend. I am considering other options, however she does not want to study online or at home. BECAUSE SCHOOL IS NOT ABOUT COURSE CONTENT for my son and many students. She wants to go out with friends. Maybe try being a cheerleader. When she talks about going to high school, she never mentions the classes she’ll be taking, instead she’s excited about the “other” things the school has to offer.
Sitting children in front of a computer will not create better citizens.
We could certainly save a lot of money by converting education to robotic child care machines. However, is this really what we want for society?

Teaching will be more humanizing
When we accept what tools can do and stop asking students to compete with them, we can take students further. Technology has changed the requirement to learn facts in school. People are constantly learning things through YouTube, Google and other technologies. If I need to fix my bathroom faucet, I can possibly do it myself with a little internet research.
“This is not a math job, it’s a people job.”
When I was teaching in a teacher credentialing program, I would ask prospective teachers “why do you want to teach?” You may “love math”, but this is not a math paper. Teaching is knowing your content AND knowing how to engage others so they are passionate about learning it. The science of teaching is not simply “studying its content.”
Teachers care about their students. This is what makes them superheroes.
I predict, or hope, that the result of AI technology will be a more humanizing and personalized educational experience.
What robots can’t do is worry. Personalizing the learning experience will have to be the way to combat AI. Teaching a diverse group of students will continue to become easier with the use of technology.

Creative Critical Thinking
Filling things in a line is what robots master. What students DO with that information will be the skill to teach.
Communication
Do a Google search for “top skills employers are looking for.” The calculator is NOT on the list. However, communication skills are. It’s really hard to communicate. That’s not just responding to prompts. Thinking and communicating what you are thinking is very difficult. It is not a skill you are born with. Helping students to communicate better will be essential.
Interpersonal skills
Leaving students in a computer program does not teach them empathy. Learning to be a great human being and member of society should be a higher priority skill than mastering the facts.
More Directors
This is more of a wish than a prediction. Schools need more counselors. Mental health must be a priority. When anyone can search for information, ask a bot to create a report or presentation, use AI to respond to an email, and then turn possible for someone to be highly functional with minimal education.

The toothpaste is out of the tube and we can’t put it back. The launch of ChatGPT has shown us that robots can complete traditional school tasks. And now that? I first asked ChatGPT what he thinks the changes in teaching will be, and then I give my take on how teaching will be different after AI:
-
Student-centered learning focuses on the needs and interests of students. Student-centered classrooms are more difficult than a traditional model. The advantage is helping students have a real passion for learning. Better relationship building can also be a byproduct.
-
Technology by itself is not attractive. The interface and user experience must be designed for participation. As schools and classrooms make decisions about which EdTech tools to consider, student engagement and teacher engagement should be high on the list. What makes EdTech attractive?
-
Google Classroom allows you to assign work and collect it from students. However, you can go further with your use of Classroom with these 5 hidden features of Google Classroom. Allow students to ask questions about an assignment and quickly access the feedback bank.
-
Provide a space for students with SpacesEDU. Enhance the LMS you are using to create a student portfolio and reflection spaces.
-
Getting started with Google Slides as a teacher is easy and fun! This powerful and versatile platform offers many advantages over PowerPoint, and with a little practice, you’ll be able to use it just as effectively.
