How to encourage smarter AI use in the classroom
MIT Technology Review 1 month ago 37
Cheshire Academy in Connecticut adapted to student and teacher use of generative AI by training staff on general techniques, piloting an educator-focused platform, and expanding classroom reflection and labeling rules. The school’s individual MagicSchool plan costs just under $100 per year for unlimited access and complete records. As a result, teachers use AI mainly for preparation and administrative tasks while students follow “traffic light” guidance and activities like a Student AI Council to reflect on appropriate and inappropriate use.
