Have you been curious about generative AI? This month, Jenny sits down to clear the fog around this hot topic in the world and more specifically within education. We as educators know AI can feel overwhelming. You are not alone. This series aims to transform fear into understanding and confusion into confidence.
On this episode Jenny covers:
-The official definition: machines performing tasks typically requiring human intelligence
-Three types of AI: reactive, predictive, and generative
-Why AI isn’t new
-How generative AI works
-Essential AI vocabulary
She also explains the necessary framework to get started with AI:
- Select your platform.
- Enter your prompt.
- Refine the results through conversation.
- Utilize (not just copy and paste) the output.
Jenny emphasizes that AI should be viewed as a starting point and tool for assistance, not just a replacement for human thinking and creativity. The goal isn’t to ban AI or fear AI but to understand it well enough to lead students biblically and teach confidently.
This episode sets the stage for the remaining seven episodes in the series, where we will dive into more practical applications, ethical considerations, and specific strategies for Christian educators.
Every day in the classroom is YOUR day to impact and inspire through God's power and grace working in you.
Go do what God has called you to do!
