Droves of teachers are turning to artificial intelligence, who say the technology keeps their workload manageable, especially as they chart the course for a new school year.
Teacher Kasi Humber poses in Truro, N.S. on Friday Aug. 25, 2023. Humber says she uses ChatGPT to help her organize report cards and create French reading materials that allow her students to learn new vocabulary.
But then Reid turned to artificial intelligence, joining droves of other teachers who say the technology keeps their workload manageable, especially as they chart the course for a new school year. 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."I was able to plan most of my school year in a really short amount of time this summer.
Humber began experimenting with artificial intelligence after the 2022 release of the application ChatGPT, an AI-powered language model that captured the public's attention because it could write essays, solve complicated math problems and write code in just seconds. "That has really helped me with their reading comprehension, just by making sure that I'm providing them with things that they actively want to be reading," she said."I'd much rather learn how to do it and stay ahead of it," she said.Denis Tanguay, a high school computer science and shop teacher in the Ottawa French Catholic School Board, said he is still processing the use of the technology in his classroom.
