A4 I would like to learn more about the various different AI tools, not only the ChatGPT and Co-pilot and learn how to harness its power to do things differently, to develop critical thinking and to use it to become better independent and autonomous learners to thrive in communities.

#BuildHOPEedu

Q4 What would you like to learn more about when it comes to A.I. and technology?

#BuildHOPEedu

Q4, last question, is coming up in 1 minute!

#BuildHOPEedu

A3 AI can empower learners as it can curate so many other sources to help create connections that students sometimes struggle with. It can be used to search for grander ideas, to push the limits and to think critically as humans to practice creativity. A human's heart should guide AI.

#BuildHOPEedu

Q3 How can A.I. empower learners to make a difference?

#BuildHOPEedu

Q3 is coming up in 1 minute!

#BuildHOPEedu

A2 Some of the challenges with AI is that students will sometimes seek to do work faster, to be less engaged, and to simply want to achieve better with that highter grade. They will seek the shortcut to "show" mastery without actually learning, or wanting to engage with the ideas.

#BuildHOPEedu

Q2 What are the challenges surrounding A.I. and its use in our school communities?

#BuildHOPEedu

Q2 is coming up in 1 minute...

#BuildHOPEedu

A1 AI can be used to test out hypotheses, to brainstorm ideas, to help connect the dots. Can be used to help research challenges in our communities, provide some fresh ideas, but also to provide feedback to continously seek how to better communicate. AI is a tool to support learning.

Q1 How can A.I. be used in schools using a lens of HOPE?

Good evening #BuildHOPEedu.

Roman from Rockland, Ontario, Canada.
HS Teacher/Author/Agent of Transformation/Lifelong Learner.

Blessed to be with everyone tonight.

My first introduction to AI, technically is AI, but in schools, would be with students "cheating" on assignements.

Welcome to tonight's #BuildHOPEedu chat on #BlueSky!

Let's begin our week by coming together to learn about Building Bridges: A.I. and HOPE!

Please introduce yourself, tell us where you're from, what you do, and share with us how you were introduced to AI!

Join us tonight at 9pm EST/8pm CST for our weekly #BuildHOPEedu chat.

Tonight we talk about Building Bridges: A.I. and HOPE. Because we need to plant HOPE with our technology.

A4 We need to show kids that teaching is fun. That it is rewarding. Too often, people share the negative, the frustrations, the complaints. But if kids see educators smiling, having fun, wanting to do the work, they will want to be like us. Build in more joy, excitement, fulfillment.

#BuildHOPEedu

Q4 How can we inspire future generations to want to become educators, to shine HOPE to future students?

#BuildHOPEedu

Q4, last question, is coming up in 1 minute!

#BuildHOPEedu

A3 Education is the most beautiful profession there is. Being able to share the journey of leanring and discovery with kids. Helping them find their purpose. Seeing their eyes and face when they get something...

Yes there are challenging times. But the incredible moments outshine.

#BuildHOPEedu

Q3 With all the challenges, why do you choose to stay in education?
