Peter Lakeman's curator insight, July 19, 2025 2:54 AM

In de VS wordt AI ingezet om toekomstige docenten te begeleiden met directe feedback, gesimuleerde praktijksituaties en reflectievragen. Doel: betere voorberetiding, meer gelijkheid én opschaling van lerarenopleidingen.


 


� Interessant voorbeeld van hoe AI niet vervangt, maar versterkt.

Teaching and Learning in the Age of Generative AI: Evidence-Based Approaches to Pedagogy, Ethics, and Beyond

 

Edited by Joseph Rene Corbeil & Maria Elena Corbeil (2025)

 

🏆 Winner of the 2025 Systems Thinking & Change Division Outstanding Book Award from the Association for Educational Communications and Technology!

 

If you are designing a course that addresses generative AI in education, this award-winning volume provides a research-driven, classroom-ready foundation. Rather than offering hype or fear, this book helps educators:

  • Ground AI integration in learning theory and research
  • Address academic integrity with thoughtful, practical strategies
  • Redesign assessment for an AI-enabled world
  • Explore ethics, bias, privacy, and institutional responsibility
  • Leverage AI to enhance critical thinking and digital literacy


Bookended by historical and forward-looking analyses of AI in education, the chapters move beyond surface-level discussions to provide evidence-based approaches for real classrooms—K–12, higher education, and professional learning environments.

This text is ideal for:

  • Undergraduate and graduate teacher education programs
  • Curriculum & Instruction courses
  • Educational Technology programs
  • Higher education faculty development
  • School technology coordinators and talent development professionals

Artificial Intelligence is playing a significant role in both cyber defense and cybercrime. Security professionals are leveraging AI-powered tools to detect threats faster, analyze suspicious activities, and automate incident responses. At the same time, cybercriminals are using AI to create more convincing scams and sophisticated attacks, creating an ongoing battle between attackers and defenders.read more..https://pressearn.it.com/blog/?s=Technology+

Beyond ChatGPT: 5 Ways Teachers Can Use RAG to Help Students Find Better Information

Beyond ChatGPT: 5 Ways Teachers Can Use RAG to Help Students Find Better Information | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Large language models (LLMs) can produce incorrect information, misrepresent sources, and even invent convincing citations to publications that do not exist, which is why many educators remain understandably cautious about students using AI for research.

The better response is not to tell students to avoid AI altogether but to teach them how to use AI tools that keep evidence at the center of the research process."

Report – MIT’s Ad Hoc Committee on AI Use in Teaching, Learning, and Research Training

From aiandeducation.mit.edu - June 17, 12:52 PM

"This report is a call to action.

 

Through five intense months of meetings, research, and outreach across the MIT community, the Ad Hoc Committee on AI Use in Teaching, Learning, and Research Training sought to understand the role of generative AI in the life and educational mission of the Institute and recommend how to navigate its challenges and opportunities.

 

In January 2026, Chancellor Melissa Nobles, Provost Anantha Chandrakasan, and Faculty Chair Roger Levy charged us1 specifically to:

  • Assess current AI use at MIT.
  • Identify innovations in teaching and student assessment.
  • Propose an AI use policy."
Read more
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Most classes taught at MIT will require careful review and, in many cases, substantial adaptation to survive an encounter with AI without serious disruption. AI will undermine the pedagogical assumptions that guided the choice of content, the methods of instruction, and the ways of assessing student performance."

"According to the research brief, evaluations of AI tutoring tools suggest that:

  • Many students don’t engage with AI tutors.
  • Adding human oversight helps engagement, but not achievement.
  • The strongest results of effectiveness so far come from AI tools built for human tutors to use, not for student use."

n mo's curator insight, Today, 9:35 AM
I really agree with the idea that we shouldn’t judge technology only by the amount of screen time a child has. What they are actually doing during that time matters too. Especially with young children, I think we have to ask whether the technology is adding something meaningful to the learning experience or just replacing something they could be doing through play. For me, it’s less about setting a specific number of minutes and more about making sure there is a purpose every time we bring technology into the classroom.
