Two Teachers Rethink Student Learning in the Age of AI
EDITOR BRIEF
Two educators reflect on comments from students that led them to think differently about AI and learning. One teacher says “I used ChatGPT” can mean a student skipped the thinking work, not just copied, and she now asks students to resist that easier path. The other sought answers at a coding summit and came away thinking differently about equity, identity, and what students need for an AI-shaped future.
INSIGHTS
For beginners, this shows that AI tools affect more than cheating—they can change how students practice problem-solving. A good next step is to try an assignment with and without AI, then compare what thinking each version requires.
