This is how many of us who recognized the power and opportunities AI presented rather than focused on the problems or obstacles to overcome, have approached AI in education.

As I have only taught at the college and university level, I’ve been fortunate to focus on the adult learning model (Andragogical) rather than pedagogical. One of the many aspects of teaching that, I believe, hampers those in the profession from adopting and applying “forward thinking” is the continual use of “backward facing” terminology.

While many would argue that pedagogy and Andragogy are interchangeable terms, I would posit the opposite. Particularly for legacy teachers, instructors, and professional knowledge providers. Using correct terminology for students can encourage and enable the shift in our teaching and learning styles and mindset.

Many thanks for bringing up the use of any tool that supports preparing the whole citizen via many subject areas offered, taught and explored. Wondering if AI has the capacity for bringing people together in as yet unexplored ways; just riffing here.
