This means they need to use critical thinking skills more. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349849?scroll_to=3090831 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349849?scroll_to=3090831 Wed, 19 Jul 2023 05:13:56 -0400 No always knowing an answer can be frustrating but it helps everyone learn and make deeper connections. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349849?scroll_to=3090829 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349849?scroll_to=3090829 Wed, 19 Jul 2023 05:12:19 -0400 I definitely see this with students. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349849?scroll_to=3090827 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349849?scroll_to=3090827 Wed, 19 Jul 2023 05:10:27 -0400 Important note about understanding the basics of something does not mean you know it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349849?scroll_to=3090825 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349849?scroll_to=3090825 Wed, 19 Jul 2023 05:09:18 -0400 This is an important idea that also explains why teachers become better at explaining over years of teaching a specific topic. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349849?scroll_to=3090822 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349849?scroll_to=3090822 Wed, 19 Jul 2023 05:08:02 -0400 I don't think this was overly helpful because it was just using the one sentence that was highlighted and couldn't refer to anything else in the document. https://nowcomment.com/documents/350950?scroll_to=3090295 https://nowcomment.com/documents/350950?scroll_to=3090295 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 11:48:29 -0500 What benefits do standardized testing have? https://nowcomment.com/documents/350950?scroll_to=3090289 https://nowcomment.com/documents/350950?scroll_to=3090289 Two of the "Wicked Problems" I see in this text are: 1) the reliability of standardized testing for measuring students' abilities accurately and 2) the potential negative impact of high-stakes testing environments on students who possess knowledge but struggle with the test itself. It matters that standardized tests are reliable in accurately measuring students’ abilities because tests are used to determine college acceptance or grade promotion decisions. If these tests fail to accurately measure students’ abilities, then these decisions may not be reflective of student performance. Quote from the text: "Concerns over standardized testing range from how reliable they are in reflecting students’ abilities..." It is a problem that high-stakes testing environments may have potential negative impacts on students who possess knowledge but struggle with the test because it does not reflect the student’s true knowledge or learning potential. Quote from the text: "...to how they could have potential negative impacts on students that may be knowledgeable but struggle with high-stakes test environments." This is a difficult and impossible to solve problem because it is uncertain how much of a student’s knowledge and learning potential is actually tested, making it difficult to recognize whether the results of these tests are accurate and fair. Tue, 24 Feb 2026 11:48:29 -0500 This is a good point because people could get complacent. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349846?scroll_to=3089448 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349846?scroll_to=3089448 Sat, 26 Oct 2024 07:22:21 -0400 I like the idea of having it play Devil's Advocate because students are not always confident in speaking alternate opinions for fear of judgement. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349846?scroll_to=3089447 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349846?scroll_to=3089447 Wed, 19 Jul 2023 05:12:54 -0400 I like that they consider strengths and skills instead of weaknesses. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349846?scroll_to=3089445 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349846?scroll_to=3089445 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 18:17:03 -0400 This section is very helpful to remind students of good practice. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349842?scroll_to=3089444 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349842?scroll_to=3089444 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 18:13:02 -0400 This could be particularly bad, depending on the student. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349842?scroll_to=3089443 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349842?scroll_to=3089443 Wed, 11 Oct 2023 10:38:07 -0400 Seeing a problem in multiple ways can be a struggle for students but it can be helpful to acknowledge that there is more than one way to an answer. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349842?scroll_to=3089442 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349842?scroll_to=3089442 Sun, 05 May 2024 13:05:59 -0400 Another great one for a poster https://nowcomment.com/documents/349839?scroll_to=3089440 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349839?scroll_to=3089440 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 17:58:37 -0400 This is something that I don't think most people realize about AI. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349839?scroll_to=3089439 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349839?scroll_to=3089439 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 17:57:00 -0400 Important note that even with a good prompt, AI does not always successfully complete what is asked of it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349839?scroll_to=3089438 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349839?scroll_to=3089438 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 17:53:32 -0400 This could help make tutoring more equitable because of the costs. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349839?scroll_to=3089437 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349839?scroll_to=3089437 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 17:48:41 -0400 It reminds me of the different apps (ie Photo Math) students can use to help them with math problems by taking a picture but they don't pay attention to the math being a higher level than what they would know at the time of learning it in Algebra 1 or 2. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349839?scroll_to=3089436 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349839?scroll_to=3089436 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 08:27:43 -0500 I think this section as a poster would be very helpful for teachers who plan to incorporate AI into their classrooms. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349836?scroll_to=3089435 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349836?scroll_to=3089435 Wed, 11 Oct 2023 09:47:36 -0400 I like the breakdown of each section because it makes it very easy to follow, especially when looking at the end with how you can make your own template. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349836?scroll_to=3089434 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349836?scroll_to=3089434 Tue, 07 May 2024 21:40:16 -0400 It seems like it could take a decent amount of time to learn good prompting habits for this kind of AI use. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349836?scroll_to=3089419 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349836?scroll_to=3089419 Thu, 20 Jun 2024 02:57:40 -0400 Feedback is important but not always practical to do quickly in a class of 25+ students so if AI could do it effectively, that would be extremely beneficial. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349836?scroll_to=3089417 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349836?scroll_to=3089417 Tue, 15 Oct 2024 22:29:17 -0400 It is interesting that GPT-4 and Bing have the lowest rates. I wonder what caused this to happen? Perhaps it has to do with the material or quantity of material it was trained with? https://nowcomment.com/documents/349825?scroll_to=3088676 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349825?scroll_to=3088676 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 09:21:51 -0400 The example of what to prompt the AI with is very useful as a starting point for people to get ideas about effective and ineffective ways to prompt the AI. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349825?scroll_to=3088673 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349825?scroll_to=3088673 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 09:18:25 -0400 “human in the loop”- I like this phrasing for the concept discussed above. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349825?scroll_to=3088657 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349825?scroll_to=3088657 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 09:09:45 -0400 This reminds me of one of the things that we stressed in our SIG assignment. The need to keep humans thinking about the outputs of AI is a fundamental part of using it to help us. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349825?scroll_to=3088655 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349825?scroll_to=3088655 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 09:08:23 -0400 The acknowledgement of unknown risks is important because you cannot always predict all of the problems that will arise. https://nowcomment.com/documents/349825?scroll_to=3088651 https://nowcomment.com/documents/349825?scroll_to=3088651 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 09:03:45 -0400 Expertise: This word can define the overarching idea of the chapter with comparing their choices to that of a novice or less expert opinion. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319239?scroll_to=3080511 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319239?scroll_to=3080511 Mon, 26 Jun 2023 08:31:29 -0400 "Seen differently by an expert than perceived by an inexperienced person" https://nowcomment.com/documents/319239?scroll_to=3080509 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319239?scroll_to=3080509 This is a great reminder for teachers (experts in their field) often take for granted something that seems obvious to them from years of experience but students will look through all the different tools learned or find ways that work but are more convoluted than the "expert's way". Mon, 26 Jun 2023 08:28:41 -0400 Changed to a different paragraph https://nowcomment.com/documents/319239?scroll_to=3080500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319239?scroll_to=3080500 Mon, 26 Jun 2023 08:23:17 -0400 This reminds me about conversations I have had with others that just because someone is the best/good in a particular area, does not mean that they are (or will be) a good teacher. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319239?scroll_to=3080484 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319239?scroll_to=3080484 Mon, 26 Jun 2023 08:16:29 -0400
