Cultivating Critical Thinking: Guiding AI Use in Today's Classroom
When it comes to AI critical thinking is, well, critical.
As more classrooms adapt and incorporate AI, one key component of AI Readiness is finding ways to foster and sharpen critical thinking.
Our latest Educator One-Pager, "Cultivating Critical Thinking: Acceptable AI Use in the Classroom," empowers teachers and students to navigate AI use effectively and ethically.
Of the many strategies teachers can use when deciding on how to use AI tools with students, we highlight three:
Center Student Thinking
Be Explicit on Level of AI Use
Model Appropriate AI Use
These straightforward techniques will help educators kick-start conversations and exploration around AI. Acting as both guidelines and tools, these strategies will empower students to develop discernment in our tech-driven world.
