Comment on Jonas Montilva Calderón's post: The Heads, Hand, Heart model will connect with our instructors. It's simple and addresses at least some of the underlying concerns with adopting AI tools.
AI can assist you in organizing information
I am planning to use the two framewoks (Tell, Team, and Trust) and (Head, Hands, and Heart) as a way of teaching my students about how to use efficiently and responsibly an AI tools.
I have learned that AI is a tool designed to help people solve problems, find information and improve efficiency, but is still lies on human guidance and critical thinking.
I like that this training is user friendly and given simple easy to understand way of using and working with AI and not against it.
Tell, Team, Trust. Using AI responsibly. Help to explain the basics of AI
I am excited about reviewing my lesson plans and to see how to embed this content I am now learning into those plans. Also, to be able to assuage any fears that they may have about their future and preparing for career paths since I teach both college and high school classes.
I learned that I must understand the three pillars of AI before starting to use it in teaching my students
The prompt is key to produce a good product information
I like the Head, Hands, and Heart analogy. It keeps things clear about thinking with AI help, practical applications and ethical training and issues.
I believe the most important part of using AI is its responsible use. AI is here to help us, and knowing how to use it ethically will benefit us all.
Like any tool, if the person has the skill and knowledge to use it properly, it is an asset, but, like giving a power tool to a 3-year-old, it can cause a lot of damage.
Ai has become an invaluable tool in the classroom, enhancing the way to teach and support students.
This module really explained AI with easy to understand examples - such as constructing a building; the algorithms are the plans, the data is the materials, and the training is the crew. Once the concept of how AI works is understood, then you can understand methods of using AI - tell, team, or trust. Are you telling AI what you want it to do, working with it to brainstorm ideas, or trusting to work on its own. Finally the three pillars of correctly using AI conceptual understanding, practical understanding, and responsible use gives us a model to work by. By helping students understand AI in this way, they have the basics to make the best use of this tool as well as using in a responsible way.
Understanding AI helps a teacher reach students in an innovative way. Having taught AI basics before, the concept of AI is the same as computer programming: you the human are basically telling AI the machine what to do...and how to do it. The better your instructions and descriptions, the more accurate the desired result will be.
Using AI in the classroom will also help with students' interest, engagement and enthusiasm...if approached the proper way by the teacher. Embracing new technology can open up new pathways of instruction, and no area of education would benefit greater than CTE
AI is an apprentice: eager and fast, but lacking judgment. It learns from data, so biased training creates blind spots. The Tell, Team, Trust framework guides when to direct, collaborate with, or delegate to AI.
I will apply this by delegating routine tasks (scoring, flagging errors) to AI, freeing me for deep judgment and ethics. I will team with AI for brainstorming but never let it decide alone. I will use AI transparently, check for bias, and stay responsible for all outcomes.
From this module. I have leaned The foundational principes of how Al funed about the fundational princiles of how Al function the reponsability involved in this use and its scope of support
I've discovered that artificial intelligence (AI) is a tool that can help me educate in a variety of ways, such as arranging material to teach more effectively while producing work activities and learning content. It can help me collect data that will save me time and enable me to communicate with my students.
The lesson presented a good analogy of an apprentice that helped clarify how AI works.
