Jessica Reid has thought about quitting the career she'd dreamed of since childhood hundreds of times.
Until recently, she was overwhelmed by her workload as an elementary school teacher— planning lessons for all subjects, creating behavioural support plans for students, grading, not to mention actual classroom time — while also raising three young kids of her own.
Now, she'll run Ontario's curriculum through an AI program called Eduaide.AI and ask it to spit out lessons for her. She doesn't rely on it for information — and what information it does give, she always fact checks. It just gives her a guideline of what to teach and when, she said. Advancements in artificial intelligence are cause for skepticism and excitement alike, teachers say. While some students may use technology to cheat, those tools also have the potential to make education more efficient.
Humber has also used it to provide reading materials that caters to her students' level and interests. A student learning French who struggles with vocabulary can be given an AI-produced story that emphasizes the words they have trouble with, for example.
