What Is AI in Education?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) uses algorithms to analyze data, learn patterns, and generate human-like responses. In classrooms, AI can:
• Automate routine tasks
• Personalize learning
• Provide real-time insights

Define AI in simple terms. Relate it to familiar classroom tech.

Why Use AI? Key Benefits

• Save time on lesson planning and grading
• Deliver personalized support to students
• Increase engagement with interactive content
• Harness data for informed instruction

Discuss each benefit with a quick example.

Tool #1: ChatGPT for Lesson Planning

• Generate lesson outlines, prompts, and discussion questions
• Differentiate content for varied learner levels
• Refine language and scaffolding suggestions

Show a live demo or screenshots of ChatGPT. Offer prompt examples.

Tool #2: Formative for Assessment

• Create and assign digital quizzes with AI-driven feedback
• Auto-grade open-ended responses
• Track student progress on real-time dashboards

Share screenshots of Formative’s interface. Highlight auto-grading features.

Tool #3: Kahoot! + AI for Engagement

• Leverage AI to auto-generate quiz questions
• Adapt question difficulty based on student responses
• Foster collaboration with live polling and discussions

Play a short Kahoot! sample or share AI-generated question sets.

Best Practices for AI Integration

• Start with one tool and pilot in a single class
• Review AI-generated content for accuracy and bias
• Ensure student data privacy and compliance
• Provide a brief orientation for students

Guide teachers on a smooth rollout. Stress ethical considerations.

Classroom Example: History Project

Students used AI to:

  1. Research primary sources and summarize key events
  2. Generate critical thinking questions
  3. Create multimedia presentations with AI-enhanced visuals
