doug — off the record

just a place to share some thoughts


Paybacks

Over the past while, we’e been hearing about how the end of the world is coming for education as students use artificial intelligence to help them out.

What about the teacher? Is there an option for them?

I’m here to introduce you to Teacher Toolkit.

https://www.teachertoolkit.ai/

It’s a collection of tools for teachers. I had a kick of the tires yesterday and was quite interested in what I discovered. There is a free level of access and a couple of paid plans.

I was intrigued with the claim that lesson plans could be created by one of the tools.

One of the fun things to teach is databases. I know that I have created and revised my own lesson a number of times. So, what could artificial intelligence do for me?

I gave minimal instructions to have a lesson created for an introductory lesson.

It took a couple of minutes and here is part of what was created for me.



It was quite impressive.

The lesson, including activities and assessments could be used as is or downloadable as a document where you could tweak it and make it yours. Obviously, you’re going to work with the language to make it consistent with what you really want in a lesson plan.

I liked the completeness of what was returned and it came with references and a whole collection of “21st Century Skills”.

If you’re looking for the “other side” of artificial intelligence in the classroom, this is most definitely worth your time to explore.
