I look forward to The International Society for Technology in Education every year. This year, perhaps even more so because my session “AI for Teacher Efficiency” was accepted. Towards the beginning of last school year, I did a training at my school on the same topic. Teachers gave such good feedback, I decided to apply […]

Many teachers I speak with express concern regarding students’ use of AI to cheat. They have countless stories of catching kids submitting copy and pasting ChatGPT outputs. The types of assignments range from simple reflections to summative essays. Unfortunately, this is a new reality we teachers have to deal with now. So, I found myself […]

So, I have seen a lot, but one thing I came across recently really blew my mind. Ever since I learned about Large Language Models, I’ve pretty consistently used ChatGPT. However, at […]

It has been about a year since ChatGPT came into our lives. Working in education, I have witnessed a rollercoaster of emotions regarding AI. On a daily basis, teachers are either super excited to try a new AI tool, or they rant about how it’s the end of the world. For teachers who want to […]

It Really Does Feel Like Magic
![](https://miamiedtech.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Dr.-Mabes-Corner-1032x600.png)
Alot of the AI tools out there that are helpful for teachers are not made for teachers. I myself keep a ChatGPT tab perpetually open on my computer. One tool that is made specifically for educators is MagicSchool. When I first made an account, I couldn’t use it for a few weeks because I […]
AI for Teacher Efficiency

“I have so much time on my hands, I don’t even know what to do with myself,” said no teacher EVER. Teachers never have enough time, between grading, and planning, and actually teaching, and innovating, and learning, and the list goes on. Often teachers get burned out and either the students suffer or they leave […]
