Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Many high schools are curbing the use of AI. These schools are leaning
in
Should high schools allow students to use AI for their school work such
as research, summarize, or write papers? When the use of typewriters became
popular, some worried that students might lose the chance to develop handwriting
skills, a nice-to-have skill but not so essential nowadays. When electric calculators
became commonly available and affordable, people worried that students would not
develop calculation skills, which are no longer considered essential, either.
Then computers, tablets, and smartphones have already been used in many
classrooms. And think of the spelling and grammar check features on the apps and
devices students use. Are they deteriorating or helping students’ writing? Actually,
teachers are using those tools to prepare classes and assess students’ work. Now
AI has been becoming increasingly popular among students and teachers since the
launch of ChatGPT in November 2022. If teachers find AI helpful for their jobs,
it seems quite natural to have their students use it effectively and
productively for their future. In fact, some schools are having their students
use AI to come up with unique solutions. Those who use AI as their learning
tool or partner seem to develop AI literacy for their future.

education.
