The potential of AI in
education
AI technology is revolutionizing education with tools
that enhance learning outcomes and streamline
educational processes.
Based on our survey, educators want to understand
AI’s power to transform their teaching. 37.5% of all
respondents said they’re most willing to invest time
in learning how to effectively use AI presentation
software tools for educational purposes.
Andre Koen, an Innovator in Diversity, Equity,
Inclusion, and AI Integration, agrees AI has value in
the classroom but emphasizes it should be used as
a tool to enhance teaching, not to replace teachers.
“AI should be viewed as another tool
in the educator’s toolkit, akin to pen,
paper, tablets, or smartphones...it’s
about how you extend AI technology to
leverage teaching and student learning.”
Andre Koen
Dr. Timothy Gadson, the Deputy Superintendent
of Atlanta Public Schools, takes it a step further. He
shares how AI can be used to tailor lessons to each
student’s unique interests, needs, and learning pace
to make education more accessible and inclusive.
“AI technology improves learning
outcomes including personalized
learning, increased retention, data
analysis, efficiency in assessment, and
engagement tools.”

Engagement tools
Interactive AI features such as chatbots and
virtual simulations increase student interaction
and engagement. These tools provide a dynamic
and immersive learning environment, which often
leads to higher motivation and better educational
outcomes.
THE POTENTIAL OF AI IN EDUCATION
Dr. Gadson breaks down how AI
supports each of these areas:
Personalized learning
AI-driven platforms can adapt to the unique needs
of each student, providing personalized learning
experiences that improve engagement and
mastery of material. Studies show that students
using these platforms are more likely to stay
engaged and achieve better outcomes.
Increased retention
AI tools can learn and create optimal learning
time intervals that can be built into customized
study plans. Learning and reinforcing information
at these optimal times helps students retain
information more effectively.
Data analysis
AI’s ability to analyze large amounts of data
enables educators to identify learning gaps and
intervene more effectively. By pinpointing areas
where students struggle, AI helps educators tailor
their lessons to address specific needs, leading to
improved student performance.
The integration of AI into education holds
immense promise for creating more
personalized, efficient, and engaging
learning experiences, ultimately
transforming the educational landscape
for both students and educators.
Integrating AI into the
classroom
AI presents plenty of opportunities for education,
but its role as an emerging technology also raises
questions. “How can we ethically integrate AI in
our schools?” is one we keep hearing time and
time again from educators.
When it comes to incorporating AI into your
curriculum and navigating the ethical plane, Dr.
Allison Upshaw, Assistant Professor of Voice at
Stillman College, says there’s no right answer—yet.
Schools face the challenge of effectively
educating their students about AI while ensuring
that they do not abuse it. Dr. Upshaw refers to
this integration as a wicked problem due to its
complexity, room for advancement, and potential
for inequity. While introducing AI, it’s crucial to
exercise caution with private data and remain
aware of potential biases.
“Each attempted solution can lead to
new problems, and there is no clear
point at which a wicked problem can
be considered completely solved.”
Dr. Upshaw
Rapid technological advancements outpace
curriculum development and educator
training. Most schools are behind in providing
the resources and support necessary for
educator professional development in this
area. Understandably, uninformed and under-
supported instructors cannot help students
engage critically with AI.
Addressing AI fears
PAGE 9 OF 23
Dr. Upshaw stresses that there’s no one solution
to AI but rather lifelong learning.
“We want to show students how to ethically
engage with using AI now while arming them with
critical thinking skills that they can combine to
empower themselves in the workforce.”
She shares that the integration of AI is analogous
to the introduction of phones and laptops in
classrooms; students might become distracted by
games or social media.
Still, Dr. Upshaw believes that it’s the educator’s
objective to teach critical thinking skills relevant to
the modern world.
Technology is an integral part of the classroom
experience; if we avoid teaching students AI,
we’re not properly supporting students and
guiding them for the workforce.
“Avoiding technology altogether
would fail to support students
adequately and leave them
unprepared for the workplace.”
Dr. Upshaw
ADDRESSING THE FEARS AROUND AI
Dr. Upshaw’s recommendation:
The best path forward is to understand AI
and use it to complement our skills rather
than replace them.

ADDRESSING THE FEARS AROUND AI
Michelle Singh, CEO and Principal Consultant of
LCT-E Learning Solutions®️, leads a renowned
global education consulting firm based in Miami,
Florida. Known for its holistic approach to teacher
training and development, Singh’s firm specializes
in empathetic teaching practices grounded in
evidence-based strategies, making a significant
impact on educators worldwide.
She echoes this sentiment, asking
“Did we stop learning how to spell
because we have spell check? Not at
all. Tools like Grammarly aren’t always
right when it comes to our unique
writing style, but they help us refine
our writing.”
Michelle Singh
She stresses the importance of continuing
to “develop skills that AI can’t replicate like
leadership, teamwork, communication, empathy,
and connection.”
Singh believes embracing the right mindset
about AI transforms it into a bridge linking skills to
student interests, a time-saver for administrative
tasks, a pedagogical enhancer, a tool for
personalized learning, and a creative accelerator
in education.
Teachers should exercise caution with private data
and be vigilant of potential biases when using
AI. Singh warns that AI learns from vast amounts
of online information, which can be skewed,
inaccurate, non-inclusive, and culturally insensitive.
So, check and double-check AI’s output to ensure
equity and validity.
While there are still many open questions about AI,
the bottom line is that we must keep learning about
the technology to best leverage it. Now, let’s move
forward to implementation in the classroom.
AI Literacy in education
Bringing AI into the classroom is about more than
introducing a new tool. It’s also about providing
resources that will address educator and student
needs. This starts with introducing AI literacy into
our curriculum.
AI literacy is the practice of critically engaging
with artificial intelligence technologies and
outcomes. It includes being vigilant of potential
biases and ensuring the accuracy, inclusivity, and
cultural sensitivity of AI outputs.
Dr. Gadson’s recommendation:
Educators pinpoint specific educational
goals and challenges that AI can help with
before integrating AI into the classroom.

AI LITERACY IN EDUCATION
Koen applies Bloom’s Taxonomy as a foundational
framework for determining if he should integrate
certain AI tools into the classroom.
“By incorporating AI tools, educators
can design activities and assessments
that address these levels, fostering
deeper learning and critical thinking.”
Andre Koen
With his students’ needs in mind, Koen can
follow the six steps to determine if he should
employ tools like Quizlet for more interaction,
Suno to create relevant AI-generated music, or
ElevenLabs.ai to provide AI audio versions of
educational materials.
Merissa Sadler-Holder, a 2024 ASU+GSV Leading
Woman in AI and Innovative Educator in AI and
Emerging Tech, wants to teach students how to
be critical when using AI to shift their mindset
from how they can “cheat” their way through
assignments to how they can be more efficient
with their assignment while learning the material.
As a French teacher, she tried to fight Google
Translate when it first popped up in 2011. However,
she decided to take away the power of cheating
and turn it into learning by encouraging them to
use it but with boundaries.
As long as they cited when, where, and how they
used Google Translate, and demonstrated their
learning with the tool, Sadler-Holder was happy to
let her students use it. It also allowed her to see any
learning gaps and adapt her approach as needed.
Leveraging AI to empower
students
65% of teachers and 89% of students are
leveraging AI, according to Singh’s research.
Curating content takes significant time and energy,
which led her to explore AI tools. She describes
AI as the “digital teaching assistant I never knew I
needed.”
Both Singh and Upshaw believe we are on
the cusp of an AI revolution, emphasizing the
importance of embracing this technology to avoid
being left behind.
Dr. Upshaw highlights that AI enhances personal
learning and prepares students for a digital future.
She strongly believes AI should be accessible in
all environments, promoting equity in education.
Singh offers practical tips for integrating AI
effectively, noting that AI learns, predicts, creates,
and understands based on the data it receives.
Active engagement with AI can significantly
enhance its performance and help it serve as an
invaluable assistant for tasks you’d rather not do.
Singh says using AI in classrooms is akin to using
a high-tech navigation system when teaching
someone to drive; the driver must remain
engaged, make decisions, and learn. AI should
enhance educational processes, not replace them.
Effective integration requires effort to achieve the
desired results.
Enhancing the classroom
with AI
PAGE 16 OF 23
AI serves as a bridge, linking the skills students
need with their interests, and making education
relevant and engaging. It saves significant time on
administrative tasks, allowing teachers to focus
on engaging directly with students and enriching
their learning experience.
Sadler-Holder explains that encouraging students
to use and explore generative AI is essential for the
classroom and for preparing them for the future
by modeling appropriate AI use. She emphasizes
the importance of reflecting on learning, having a
relevant curriculum, and providing students with
21st-century skills and AI literacy.
Before integrating AI into your classroom, Sadler-
Holder recommends using your school’s AI
policies as a starting point. Once you have that
foundation, you can dial in the AI rules for your
own classroom. She’s created her own Classroom
Norms which touches on how to verify resources,
respect privacy, avoid plagiarism, and more, as
well as a Flexible AI toolbox that allows students
to reflect on AI as a learning tool.
LEVERAGING AI TO EMPOWER STUDENTS
The foundation of using AI lies in the prompts you
write. Mastering prompt creation will help you
maximize AI’s potential. Singh explains that your
output is as effective as your input. Here are her
recommendations for improving both.
After identifying that information, use AI to craft
open-ended questions that challenge students
or create learning tasks/student activities that will
encourage student discussion and inspire their
creativity.
Lastly, Singh always asks the AI tool if it has
enough information from her as part of her
prompt. AI is helping us learn, just as we’re
helping it learn too.
Koen shares similar thoughts, believing that it’s
easy to search for something, but you need to
know what you’re searching for.
“With the right prompting, we can
easily get what we want.”
Andre Koen
How to craft effective
prompts
First off, she recommends that your prompt
aligns with your educational objectives.
Next, you want to focus on your students
and tailor your prompt to their unique
interests, backgrounds, and needs.
PAGE 18 OF 23
HOW TO CRAFT EFFECTIVE PROMPTS
Before you even go into a tool, you should build
out your prompt first on a note or document so
you can easily edit and update it as you go. Your
prompt is the starting point that AI can take and
expand on.
“The success of AI in education
hinges on the quality of the content
and the teacher’s ability to integrate
these tools meaningfully into their
pedagogy.”
Andre Koen
Now take what you’ve learned for effective
prompt making and apply it to prompt making for
Prezi AI and making presentations.

Dr. Upshaw highlights that AI enhances personal learning and prepares students for a digital future. She strongly believes AI should be accessible in all environments, promoting equity in education. Singh offers practical tips for integrating AI effectively, noting that AI learns, predicts, creates, and understands based on the data it receives. Active engagement with AI can significantly enhance its performance and help it serve as an invaluable assistant for tasks you’d rather not do. Singh says using AI in classrooms is akin to using a high-tech navigation system when teaching someone to drive; the driver must remain engaged, make decisions, and learn. AI should enhance educational processes, not replace them. Effective integration requires effort to achieve the desired results. Enhancing the classroom with AI

    PAGE 16 OF23 AI serves as a bridge, linking the skills students need with their interests, and making education relevant and engaging. It saves significant time on administrative tasks, allowing teachers to focus on engaging directly with students and enriching their learning experience. Sadler-Holder explains that encouraging students to use and explore generative AI is essential for the classroom and for preparing them for the future by modeling appropriate AI use. She emphasizes the importance of reflecting on learning, having a relevant curriculum, and providing students with 21st-century skills and AI literacy. Before integrating AI into your classroom, Sadler- Holder recommends using your school’s AI policies as a starting point. Once you have that foundation, you can dial in the AI rules for your own classroom. She’s created her own Classroom Norms which touches on how to verify resources, respect privacy, avoid plagiarism, and more, as well as a Flexible AI toolbox that allows students to reflect on AI as a learning tool.

    The foundation ofusing AI lies in the prompts you write. Mastering prompt creation will help you maximize AI’s potential. Singh explains that your output is as effective as your input. Here are her recommendations for improving both. After identifying that information, use AI to craft open-ended questions that challenge students or create learning tasks/student activities that will encourage student discussion and inspire their creativity. Lastly, Singh always asks the AI tool if it has enough information from her as part of her prompt. AI is helping us learn, just as we’re helping it learn too. Koen shares similar thoughts, believing that it’s easy to search for something, but you need to know what you’re searching for. “With the right prompting, we can easily get what we want.” Andre Koen How to craft effective prompts First off, she recommends that your prompt aligns with your educational objectives. Next, you want to focus on your students and tailor your prompt to their unique interests, backgrounds, and needs.
