Abstract The advent of pocket calculators in the 1970s created a crisis in mathematics teaching. A 1974 Washington Post article captured the divergent responses of educators, quoting one professor of mathematics who argued that 'it would be better if students had brains in their heads before they put them in their pockets,' while another rejected this with the claim, 'If you have to ban calculators to teach a mathematics class, then what you're teaching is trivial.
AbstractList The advent of pocket calculators in the 1970s created a crisis in mathematics teaching. A 1974 Washington Post article captured the divergent responses of educators, quoting one professor of mathematics who argued that 'it would be better if students had brains in their heads before they put them in their pockets,' while another rejected this with the claim, 'If you have to ban calculators to teach a mathematics class, then what you're teaching is trivial.
[...]I spent much of 2023 showing teachers how to use ChatGPT to assist them in speedily generating scaffolds to assist students with additional learning needs, distilling complex texts into short summaries for revision purposes, and in generating multiple-choice quizzes to check student progress. [...]OpenAI predicts that AI-powered influence operations will allow actors who seek to subvert democracies to 'generate more impactful and persuasive messaging' that is simultaneously 'less discoverable'.6 As we prepare our students for a world where they will encounter greater misinformation than ever before, the importance of teaching rigorous historical thinking skills has never been more important. A source analysis task that invites students to consider the provenance and reliability of fragmentary evidence about the Vikings is simultaneously a task that will prepare our students to be sceptical of AI-generated misinformation, and which will teach them to synthesise evidence to form interpretations not only of the past, but also of their present and future. [...]the challenge for History teachers is clear.
