Following last night's #edchatie discussion about AI in Irish education, this will all be of interest to teachers here.
I wrote about the messages teachers should be wary of, messages meant to push them headlong into using AI in and for the classroom.
In this first part of a series I address:
"AI will save you time!"
“You’re avoiding AI out of fear!”
"It's just a tool!"
"Using AI makes you a cutting edge teacher!"

We have to discuss environmental implications of AI! Not spoken about enough unfortunately.
We have a duty to inform ourselves and our students of these ethical issues and model good practice.
Do we have to use AI for every post, lesson, image generation? #edchatie

How much water does AI consume? The public deserves to know
Air pollution and carbon emissions are well-known environmental costs of AI. But water consumption is also an issue.

I wondered what the maths classroom would be like after 2yr absence! If the hype was true, ChatGPT would change T&L! Well guess what? Not much is different! Human connection, "mess" of maths learning in student copies, asking students to explain their thinking. No AI can replace that! #BeyondTheHype

Any Maths teachers? 😃 I used to love that other platform for getting ideas for the classroom. And posting up those questions from students that sometimes I struggle to answer 🤪 #edchatie
