Alright, there is much #buzz over #AI in #edtech. While I embrace what #LLMs offer, why are so many people going mad over the topic? I mean, I'm not a grandmaster in the #education field (I've been doing it for 15 yrs "only") & am pro #innovation, but what's wrong with using less tech?
Tech should be integrated to a degree & definitely taught about, but beyond that it will mostly get in the way. Effective #teaching has less to do with tech & all to do with #methodology.
There are a significant number of educators who feel trapped in the status quo. We feel like traditional instruction isn't working and moving to competency based project learning in isolation doesn't work.
We think that AI passing all of these exams shines a light in the dark crevices and will force wholesale change.
We think it will require advanced tools to implement this change. So AI provides both parts of what we are hoping leads to real change.
Interesting take, especially about systemic flaws being illuminated by the (mis)use of LLMs.
While I will refrain from speaking in pluralis majestatis, I do have to raise a concern. There already were solutions since before the rise of LLMs (& we keep making new research), often not tech related. Formal edu in most countries chose to stay behind.
Your comment also offers useful food for thought to consider this tech as a means towards transformation. Maybe it will help?
