What are students/teachers using with AI? Are there particular startups/companies that are doing AI really well?
Hi Everyone,
I’ am curious about the typical responsibilities of Google Workspace admins as the school year wraps up.
What do you usually focus on? For instance, do you suspend accounts of students who are graduating or leaving, or moving users to different organizational units?
Any insights into the tasks you prioritize during this period would be really helpful, especially for those of us looking to streamline our end-of-year processes.
Thanks in advance for your input!
I'm looking to evaluate a few different tools for authoring E-learning modules. We've used Adobe Captivate and Articulate in the past and are mainly interested in seeing what else is out there that may have useful features that help make content more engaging. Ideally, we'd be interested in a tool that may also support WebXR and allow us to create cross-platform learning modules that could work within a browser on a computer or within VR headsets. Any suggestions on tools I should be looking at?
Hi all,
I'll be attending ASU+GSV this weekend and wanted to get some tips and advice from former attendees here about how to best maximize/optimize my time (I will be a first-timer).
Since I only have access to the AIR show being held at SDCC (and not the main one being held at Grand Hyatt), I'm wondering what advice you could give to a student who is looking to connect with people in the industry and perhaps start some conversations about potential job openings and opportunities.
Thank you. I'm highly excited and looking forward to the event. Let me know if you are also going!
I see many posts by educators looking to get INTO edtech, but has anyone here had any luck finding a niche outside of edtech? I'm becoming very bored of this field. I've been doing technology integration in higher ed for nearly 20 years, but I think it's time to move to something less tech-related. I am becoming a Luddite, sick of tech, and that's probably not a productive stance to have in this field for several reasons.
I'm a math specialist at a 2-6 school using Freckle Math. A student today asked me why the logo changed from the pig to a curvy pencil and I had no idea but told them I'd try to find out.
Any insight or thoughts on where/who I should ask?
How much of this degree is rooted in AI concepts, prompt engineering, and adaptability to the future of EdTech?
WGU has an EdTech Master's program that includes Instructional Design, but I have a feeling that the ID aspects are going to be disrupted by AI technology so hard that the job market will shrink.
Anyone have any insight?
As the title says, I don't know where to launch our product. It's like Duolingo but for financial learning. We just finished a fundamental analysis course. I cannot launch it on Udemy or Coursera, and I don't know where to launch a platform like this. Product Hunt is more suitable for bottom-up SaaS.
Where did you launch your product back then, and how was the experience with it? Any recommendations given the nature of my product? Oh, also, as long as they can read and care about investing, age is not a problem here. I think probably 14+, but our target right now is adults who have strong purchasing power.
How do you all view professional development? Are there any tools that make it easier to find the right kind of development resources for teachers?
I have played around with a lot of educational technology tools in my life as a teacher. I was wondering what are your thoughts on the absolute best tools for a range of uses?
I know that Chat GPT is handy, as I myself sometimes use it to help me with writing (I work for an AI-detecting product company). BUT I want to warn you guys that there are details about Chat GPT that not many take into account. Many know that AI content may be banned, not accepted as a uni assignment, etc etc. However, there is another thing, and that is Chat GPT plagiarism. So, instead of or together with having problems due to machine-generated text, you may be accused of plagiarism. How come?
Look, Chat GPT isn't a magician and isn't a human brain. It's just a model, trained on…surprise-surprise, tons of EXISTING content PUBLISHED ALREADY on the Internet. So. When it takes some data and generates a text, chances are the output repeats some existing sources. But GPT NEVER credits them. So you are at serious risk of getting into trouble.
What's more. Even if the similarity checker doesn't detect any matches, the AI output is still Chat GPT plagiarism by default cause it never ever makes original texts, they are always based on someone's work.
There are some ways of dealing with it, such as asking GPT about the sources it used and even crediting AI as one of the sources in your Reference List. But still, I would advise being cautious.
Thoughts? Have you ever risked applying GPT output as original content? I'm especially curious about the students'/teachers' POV.
We are a massive telecommunications company operating globally. As we continue to grow and evolve, we're in need of a robust Learning Management System (LMS) to efficiently train our employees. We're looking for a platform that is not only versatile and user-friendly but also tailored to the unique needs of the telecommunications industry.
Do any of you have experience with different LMS platforms in the context of the telecommunications sector? Which platforms do you recommend?
Hi guys! I made a similar post in r/jobs but I got no response. I’m currently a Technician for my school district and have worked here for a year and love it! I need guidance on what certs or education I can get under my belt to get a leadership role. I’ve been told by my director on where my future may lead and they said I have very strong leadership qualities and I should build on it. Problem is I don’t know where to start! Any help you guys could give?
I‘m planning to hold online classes to Europeans (EU + Switzerland). I was thinking about using Google Workspace environment but a friend in Switzerland told me about potential data privacy issues I could have using the Google environment. He recommended using MS teams. Microsoft supposedly figured out the EU requirements for data privacy… is this true?
I need help. I'm about to finish my bachelors in Secondary English Education and I want to go for my masters right after. I want a degree that can give me options outside of a classroom setting. Instructional Design peaked my interest and I'm trying to figure out what MS can lead me to ID or something similar. My University has an MS in Curriculum and Instruction and one of the options of specialization is in Learning Technologies. Is this what I'm looking for, or is it another degree altogether, please help. Thank you.
Just curious about the general range of pricing for career and college readiness software by US school districts. Can be per student or total cost per given number of students
Hi everyone. I’m in the test prep business helping professionals in a niche certification exam. Do you have recommendations on good platforms? Most platforms are focused on exam administration and managing classes. My main focus is for students to practice as many questions as possible and be sure to cover all the certification exam’s topics. Hence, the main features I’m looking for are test bank management, exam topics organisation, and progress tracking (they need to finish all practice exams in time for the exam). Thank you in advance!!
I’ve been working for about 6 years and all my work ex has been in product and growth in EdTech startups. I’m really interested in the way that people learn and I love making up games and stories to help people understand information better. The thing is that I’m also good at marketing (it’s what I get hired to do and paid for). Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what I should study next and what direction I want to dig deeper in. Is there a way I can stick with marketing but specialise in Education? I’m torn between an MBA and an MS. I definitely can’t afford both. TIA!
Michigan middle school teacher here. I think AR/VR would be an amazing way to turn "dusty" history into something more vibrant and alive for our 7th and 8th grade students (they study ancient/classical history and early US history), but I honestly don't know the first place to look. I'd love any and all help, including both service providers and potential grants to cover the gear and licenses.
Thanks!
