Ahead of the Gap’s Post

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, specifically tailored for us teachers, stand as invaluable allies because they help to make the planning and instructional process easier. You can use these tools to: Create engaging lesson plans Create lesson notes and educational content Create fun activities that are tailored to your learning objectives Create quizzes and assessments (Yes, you can use it to generate examination questions) For the English teachers out there, Twee is the AI platform that is designed especially for you. You can create comprehension passages and questions (and set them to your student's reading level), you can create fill-in-the-gap vocabulary exercises and much more! To learn more about how to use these platforms to create lesson plans and other instructional materials, follow me on Facebook @ WhiteSage Academy and @ Angela Imhanguelo and watch out for various updates.

I am so pleased I signed up for this webinar with Professor Dylan Wiliam (Dylan Wiliam) and Adam Sparks (Adam Sparks). The time difference made participating live difficult (I am in Australia), but here is a link to the recording and it is great. Thank you to you both! Some big questions for me include: ❓How does the feedback we provide to our students make them less dependent on feedback? ❓How do we structure learning activities (including those using GAI) so that the feedback improves the learner more than the work they submit? ❓How will allowing or preventing the use of GAI in a task hinder or help the learner? My list goes on…. 😊 I strongly recommend spending an hour with this - link is below.
