🧵 addressing the argument: "AI won’t replace teachers, but it will save them time and make them more effective.”
Adding edtech doesn't necessarily save teachers time. A recent study found that LMSs sold to schools over the past decade+ as time-savers aren’t delivering on making teaching easier.

"Ethan Mollick says that higher education is in 'absolute chaos' because technology is changing faster than the industry is willing to change" - ah, the old "blame the slow, reluctant educators" trick, designed to deflect valid criticism and pushback of the tech industry that caused the problem
“Starting today, learners can take a course from OpenAI and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School: ‘AI in Education: Leveraging ChatGPT for Teaching.’ The goal is to empower educators to effectively bring generative AI into the classroom and maximize learning…” 💀
Exclusive: ChatGPT is creating “absolute chaos” in education. OpenAI and Wharton are teaming up to educate teachers about using gen AI effectively
The four-module course is launching today on Coursera and seeks to empower educators to maximize learning with generative AI technology.
