A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

AUGUST: Two weeks of NORMS
Look! No desk, just a shelf!
Elementary educator for 11 years
Last 3 years I have implemented blended learning
I had always sought out ways to differentiate and about 3 years ago
Principal told me about a book by Jon Bergman called flipped classroom—district wanted to pilot BL
Increase engagement
Chosen as one of 8 K-12 to see if we could
increase engagement
I have kids ask me if they can skip recess today?
They want to come in early or stay late?
What should I work on at home?
They are excited that I’m not in trouble for moving ahead.
I get more personal time with my teacher.
my sub plans usually begin with…The kids know what to do…
Can I face time with my peers when I am sick or traveling?
SO HOW DO YOU GET TO THIS POINT
There were some main components that were key to implementing Blended Learning and thus taking stress out of my teaching
a growth mindset: Im not a afraid of failure, or to make mistakes in front of my students, push them to problem solve,
Watch them do it “wrong” and wait patiently until they have that Ah-ha
I have perseverance, and a desire to try the latest and greatest new ideas
Technolgy frustrates me at times, but I am not afraid of using it
I was open to the idea that changes needed to be made from room arrangement to instruction
And lastly I learned that teaching was NOT about me
story about “show”
I was willing to change the room physically
not only was this tables for collaboration, technology, but also taking the ¼ of the room that was MINE
and giving it back to the kids
“story” about desk
I wish it were not true, but as teachers we work ALL the time
This is the extra time I put in that usually pays me back 10 fold
So about 2 weeks prior to the first day of school I send my parents a hard copy and an email of this note
I introduce myself, send them to videos of my classroom, and link to blackboard with login information
This has been so successful for me in establishing a positive relationship with my parents that my principal has offered pay for all staff who does this
So how does this free up my time?
These 15 min. meetings saves me hours of emails throughout the beginning of the year
Instead of meeting your parents in October, you meet them in August. They tell you things that you most likely have to find out on your own or wait until october to discuss.
You also have kids and parents that want to get in and play, you find out likes, dislikes, struggles, fears BEFORE the year starts, saving you precious time
Not perfect, no internet access Solution, come into the school
Some don’t meet, BUT they know I am there, ready
I took J. Bergman’s idea and did it with parents and kids at the beginning of the year to get more of my message about my classroom out there
Providing opportunities to play with blackboard and learn about our classroom mindset and environment
Those first several days…You’re getting to know the kids
Let them get to know the STUFF
BB play ground…no risk, learning still Mindset, other stuff
We also have Positive Behavior Supports called gold slips these can be used to “buy” stuff and are entered in monthly drawings.
As you begin to see kids demonstrate collaboration, growth mindset, using technology correctly, etc. Shower them…
As the students experiment in this low risk environment
You are learning how each kid learns best Again this frees up time later
You discover quickly who your tech kids are, who struggles, who is independent, who will need more instruction or help
You also establish a shared collaborative community.
Describe the no “ownership” of seats
Kids will “choose” a spot—home base for the day
Can be assigned seating—I choose not to because of the movement
Green bucket organizer for stuff
When we began, we choose a single subject to blend. Of course several weeks in and I started doing it to all subjects because of the ease and successes
I begin in august doing whole group, all the kids have white boards
I Introduce a concept and have the student activity book
As you see students who already have the concept you tell them to go onto the evens or odd of the practice we call H&R
This establishes the idea that you move at your own pace
I create cheat sheets like you see here to keep up with the kids and check for understanding
After a few more practice problems your middle group will be told to move together and go on to the H&R
You are left with your students that most likely need to see the concept in a different way and need reteaching or simplificaiton
Student teaching a small group
Student face timing in to work on geometry with peer
So am I replaceable? Why not just have a virtual school?
My roll has been redefined since starting blended learning and I would argue that my role is more important now than it was as the performer who spoons out information at a set pace
I am an architect of my students learning
I can choose based on gettting to know them how to get them the needed information
over three years classes choose tech, no tech, projects, amount of time with me differently
One year BB for all math, LOTs of flipping, this year no BB for math, its there…but not using it as much for math
So with my time looking different I can get these stolen moments to do so much
Work one on one with kids
Plan a quick enrichment idea or remediation
Create a video
Find content for BB
Grade papers!
SO HOW DOES THIS LOOK IN OTHER SUBJECTS
Still meet with kids whole group once or twice a week to go over big ideas
Then small group meetings
Like a daily five but “frankenstiened” into “stations” that work on the overall theme/idea
With BB I can let kids work on concepts that do not allow them to go on until they reach a certain grade
Which I may have had a moment to grade
They earn rewards or badges
It encouraged revising edition and the growth mindset
As students independently read or do book talks I can fill BB with wonderful background information that connects the students to the story
Ex. Never seen hawaii, google earth, you tube videos, author background and study, more books, journaling…
Who NEVER has time for science or has to switch it with social studies daily, or weekly or by unit? Well….
My kids can have science every day!
Science is often a stressor—not comfortable or needing more TIME
AND these are shared modules…my district has created a buffet, or option to share content
Talk about time saver!
Social studies is where I have been able to have the most fun Back to the SHOW that I loved so much, just different
I can have history mysteries
Kids interact and discuss essential questions on the discussion boards
I am able to reach all my levels by reading aloud books in videos ALL kids same content
