One of the first things Arpan Chokshi does after demonstrating how to use artificial intelligence is to create space so educators can share how they’re feeling.
“Some teachers are thrilled and see this as a game changer and a lot are cautiously interested,” Chokshi said. “And some are angry. All of these are okay.”
Chokshi, a social studies teacher at Hinsdale Central High School in Hinsdale, Illinois, runs professional development for educators on AI. He said the potential of AI generates strong emotions in everyone, but he wants teachers to think less of what AI will replace and more about what they as educators are still best at doing.
