AI Enters the Classroom "It's got my head spinning now." - A quote from an elementary school teacher In the fall of 2023, the UK Department for Education and AI company Faculty embarked on an ambitious project. The goal was clear: to develop AI tools that could transform teachers’ daily lives, reducing their workload while improving the quality of education. The research team created an AI tool that assesses fourth-grade students’ English writing and provides them with personalized feedback. The tool combines LanguageTool, an open-source spell checker, with OpenAI’s GPT model to find students’ errors and generate curriculum-specific feedback. The Power of Technology Meets Education During the development of the AI tool, the research team made several interesting discoveries: Synergy of rule-based + AI-based approaches: Error detection accuracy, which was 33% when only LanguageTool was used, improved to 92% after adding GPT. Surprising Fundamentals of AI: Providing additional training instructions to the GPT model did not significantly improve the quality of the feedback, suggesting that the model was already well-trained on training data. Potential for personalized assignments: AI could analyze each student’s error patterns to generate individualized practice problems. Teachers' Voices “I think I would end up going back over and reading their essays anyway to see if the AI was correct.” - Words from a secondary school teacher Teachers’ reactions to AI tools were mixed: many were positive about the time savings and consistent assessment potential, but there were also concerns. Key Feedback: It is questionable whether AI can properly understand the characteristics of individual students. Concerns about the impact on teacher-student relationships Concerns that over-reliance on AI could weaken teachers’ expertise Mountains to climb, blank spaces to fill For practical adoption of AI tools, several challenges must be addressed: Data Security: Thorough anonymization procedures are needed to protect student privacy Intellectual Property Rights: Establishing Clear Consent Procedures for Using Student Writing Teacher Education: Developing a Systematic Training Program for Using AI Tools

AI Enters the Classroom "It's got my head spinning now." - Elementary school teacher In October 2023, over 60 education professionals came together to host the UK’s first AI hackathon in education. Their goal was clear: to find ways to use AI to transform teachers’ daily lives, reduce their workload, and improve the quality of education. Participants used the 'GPT-3.5' and 'GPT-4' models to explore the possibilities of AI in various areas, from lesson planning to student assessment and parent communication. The results were interesting. AI received high scores for generating effective questions and providing personalized feedback. Between anticipation and concern “I think I would end up going back over and reading their essays anyway to see if the AI was correct.” - Secondary school teacher The research team went beyond the hackathon and conducted in-depth interviews with 12 teachers and nine students. The teachers’ responses were mixed: there was hope that AI would save time and enable consistent assessment, but there were also concerns. Many teachers have expressed concerns that AI could replace their expertise or negatively impact their relationships with students, particularly the possibility that AI feedback might not adequately reflect the individual characteristics of individual students. Students also showed mixed attitudes. While there were expectations that AI would be able to cover more learning content, there were also opinions that AI would have difficulty replacing the individual understanding and approach of teachers. Mountains to climb, blank spaces to fill It has also become clear that several challenges must be solved in order to introduce AI. Teacher education: There is an urgent need to improve understanding and use of AI. Establish guidelines: Clear guidelines and policies are needed for the use of AI. System integration: Seamless integration of AI tools with existing school systems is important. Data Security: Concerns about protecting student information must be addressed. Improving infrastructure: The lack of digital infrastructure in some schools also needs to be addressed. First step towards the future This study shows both the potential and limitations of generative AI in the field of education. AI can be a powerful tool that reduces teachers’ workload and supports individualized learning. However, there are many challenges to be solved in the process, such as ensuring accuracy and reliability and establishing ethical guidelines. Most importantly, AI should be recognized as a tool that complements teachers, not as a replacement. In the future, we should clarify the educational value of AI through more field experiments and research, and seek effective ways to utilize it. The introduction of AI into the classroom does not change the nature of education. Rather, AI can open up opportunities for teachers to focus on more creative and individualized education. What we need now is an attitude to explore its possibilities with a balanced perspective, without fearing or blindly trusting AI.

I. Research Background and Purpose A recent trend of worsening mental health among young people around the world has been observed. This trend seems to have started between 2010 and 2014, coinciding with the spread of smartphones. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the age of first smartphone ownership on the mental health of young people aged 18-24, and to determine the cumulative effect of smartphone use. II. Research Methods • Subjects: 27,969 adults aged 18-24 (17,406 women, 10,050 men) • Period: January - April 2023 • Coverage: 41 countries (North America, Europe, Latin America, Oceania, South Asia, Africa) • Assessment tool: Mental Health Quotient (MHQ) ◦ A comprehensive mental health assessment tool consisting of 47 items ◦ Assess mental function in 6 dimensions (Mood & Outlook, Social Self, Adaptability & Resilience, Drive & Motivation, Cognition, Mind-Body Connection) • Additional questions: Age of first smartphone ownership, experience of childhood trauma III. Main findings A. Overall Mental Health: ◦ The older the age of first smartphone ownership, the higher the MHQ score ◦ Greater impact on women: - 74% mental health issues at age 6 vs 46% at age 18 - Negative average MHQ score at age 6 (indicates serious mental health problems) ◦ Slightly less impact on men: - 42% when owned by 6 year olds vs 36% when owned by 18 year olds - MHQ scores 20-25 points higher than women in all age groups B. Areas that showed the greatest improvement: ① Social Self: ◦ Includes self-image, self-confidence, ability to form and maintain interpersonal relationships, and ability to cooperate. ◦ For women, the score increased by about 50 points from age 6 to 18 (16% improvement) ◦ For men, an increase of about 25 points ② Mood & Outlook: ◦ Significant improvements observed in both women and men ③ Adaptability & Resilience: ◦ Significant improvement in women, no significant change in men C. Issues with the greatest decrease: ① Suicidal thoughts: ◦ Female: 5.8 points when owned at age 6 → 3.6 points when owned at age 18 ◦ Male: 4.1 points when owned at age 6 → 3.2 points when owned at age 18 ② Aggression toward others ③ Feeling separated from reality ④ Hallucinations (for women) ⑤ Addiction (for women) IV. Analysis and Interpretation A. The importance of social interaction: ◦ Reduced face-to-face interaction due to smartphone use (estimated at 1,000-2,000 hours per year) ◦ Virtual interactions do not adequately replace the development of real social skills ◦ Reduced opportunities for learning through multiple sensory modalities, such as facial expressions, body language, vocal tone, touch, and smell. B. Gender differences: ◦ Women are more sensitive to the age of smartphone use ◦ Possible causes: Differences in online activity patterns (women prefer social media, men prefer games), differences in interpersonal functioning, biological factors, etc. ◦ Further research is needed to determine the exact cause. C. Long-term effects: ◦ Early smartphone use may have lasting effects on mental health in adulthood ◦ Possible negative impact on the development of social skills and emotional stability ◦ Association with serious mental health problems, such as suicidal thoughts, aggression, and detachment from reality D. Relationship with childhood trauma: ◦ The relationship between smartphone ownership age and mental health remains even in the absence of trauma ◦ This suggests that the influence of smartphones may be independent of other factors. V. Limitations of the Study • Shows correlation but difficult to prove causation • Difficulties in conducting long-term experimental studies due to ethical issues • Further analysis is needed on country-specific and cultural differences. • Does not distinguish between the influence of smartphones and tablets • Limitations of self-report questionnaires (distortion of memory, subjectivity, etc.) VI. Conclusion and Suggestions The results of this study strongly suggest that delaying smartphone use in children and adolescents may have positive effects on mental health, particularly in the development of social skills and emotional stability. Therefore, I make the following suggestions: ① Parents and educators should carefully consider the timing of children’s smartphone use. ② Activities that can supplement face-to-face social interaction when using smartphones should be encouraged. ③ Policymakers should reexamine guidelines regarding children and adolescents’ use of digital devices. ④ Additional long-term studies are needed to better understand the long-term effects of smartphone use. ⑤ A customized approach that takes into account gender differences may be necessary. ⑥ We must strengthen digital literacy education to enable children and adolescents to use technology in a healthy way. Based on these findings, we emphasize the need for a balanced approach to the use of digital devices for the healthy development of children and adolescents. While recognizing the benefits of smartphones, we must be careful not to let them replace important experiences and interactions in the real world.

It doesn't seem like technical issues are the reason Quizizz no longer allows you to create quizzes on YouTube Recently, Quizizz has limited the ability to create quizzes using YouTube videos. It is important to note that the reason for this change may not be a simple technical issue. In this article, we will look at Quizizz’s change, the status of other edtech platforms, and the impact of this change on the industry. Quizizz's latest change: YouTube quiz creation restrictions Looking at Quizizz's recent changes, it seems more likely that other factors than technical issues were at play: AI Quiz Creation Restrictions : When you try to create an AI quiz with a YouTube video, you will see the message "Cannot generate questions. Generate with AI only works for videos owned by you." AI Certification Exam Changes : As of July 15, 2023, YouTube content has also been removed from the Quizizz AI Certification exam. This suggests that Quizizz may be completely revisiting its YouTube-related features. Owned content-centric : Currently, AI quiz generation is only possible for videos that users own. This change appears to be a cautious approach by Quizizz to copyright issues, as it may have decided that creating quizzes using YouTube videos could potentially infringe copyright. Quizizz's future direction It is still unclear whether this change by Quizizz is temporary or a long-term policy change. Possible scenarios going forward include: Maintain Current Policy : We can continue our current policy of only allowing quiz creation based on user-owned videos. Restore functionality : We have found a solution to the copyright issue so that we can allow quiz creation for all YouTube videos like before. Partial Restoration : You can take an intermediate approach that only allows quiz creation for YouTube videos that meet certain conditions. This decision by Quizizz could have major implications for the edtech industry as a whole, so it's worth keeping a close eye on any future developments. Current status of other edtech platforms Interestingly, not all edtech platforms are taking the same approach as Quizizz: Brisk Teaching, Magic School AI : These platforms still offer content generation capabilities using external content. Different Approaches : Each company appears to be taking a different approach, depending on their interpretation of the law and their risk assessment.

Key Contents Bill Gates visits New Jersey elementary school experimenting with AI-powered education Introducing creative AI use cases for teachers Mention the current limitations and need for improvement of AI education tools AI is expected to be a game changer in education Emphasizes the importance of ensuring that all students benefit from AI education A Glimpse into the Future: From World Expos to AI Classrooms When I was a kid, my parents took me to the Seattle World's Fair. It was amazing to see all this amazing technology that seemed like something straight out of a science fiction novel. I remember begging to go back several times during the six-month run of the fair, and every time I left the fair I felt like I had caught a glimpse of the future. That feeling came back to me recently as I walked out of a classroom in Newark, New Jersey. In May, I had the opportunity to visit First Avenue Elementary School, which is pioneering AI in the classroom. The Newark school district was piloting Khanmigo, an AI-based tutor and teacher support tool, and I was eager to see it for myself. I’ve written a lot about Kanmigo on this blog. It’s developed by Khan Academy, a great partner of the Gates Foundation. And I think Khan Academy founder Sal Khan is visionary in using the power of technology to help kids learn. (You can read my review of his new book, Brave New Words, here.) We’re still in the early days of using AI in the classroom, but what we saw in Newark showed the incredible potential of this technology. Creative classes with AI I’m impressed by how creatively teachers are using the tool. Leticia Colon, an eighth-grade algebra teacher, explained how she used AI to create problem sets about local heroes that her students would be interested in. In February, she worked with Kanmigo to create equations that included the workout routine of Newark boxer Shakur Stevenson, allowing students to practice their math skills while learning about a real-world role model. Cheryl Drakeford, a third-grade math and science teacher, talked about how she uses Kanmigo to create rubrics and lesson introductions for assignments. The technology gives her a draft, which she then adapts to fit her students. For example, the AI once suggested a generic story about a fruit stand, which she modified to include Pokémon cards and Roblox, which her students are passionate about. “Kanmigo gives me the blueprint, but I have to deliver it,” she said. Several teachers I met showed me how they could access each student’s dashboard to see a summary of their progress in a particular subject. They loved how it saved them a lot of time by being able to track their students’ progress quickly and easily. They were also excited about their students using Kanmigo as their personal tutor. The Present and Future of AI Education The technology is far from perfect. The students I spoke with generally liked using Kanmigo, but they struggled with pronouncing Hispanic names and complained that the only voice option was male. This clearly shows how much thought needs to be put into making the technology inclusive and engaging for all students. In an ideal world, the AI would know what students in Ms. Drakeford’s class were interested in, so she wouldn’t have to edit. And Ms. Colon said it took her several tries to get what she wanted.

• The need for AI education and innovative changes • Realization of personalized learning • Evolution of the role of educators • Improved learning accessibility • Developing core competencies in the AI era When I first heard about the changes AI would bring to education, like many others, I was met with a mixture of skepticism and anticipation. However, after attending a recent educational technology conference and reading a variety of research results, I am now convinced that AI has the potential to revolutionize the future of education. First, AI enables truly personalized learning. Every learner has their own learning pace and style. AI-based learning platforms analyze each student’s level, preferences, and learning patterns to suggest an optimized learning path. For example, Khan Academy’s AI tutoring system analyzes students’ answers in real time to provide questions of appropriate difficulty and personalized explanations to help them understand concepts. Second, AI can greatly improve the efficiency of educators’ work. By letting AI handle routine grading and administrative tasks, educators can spend more time on meaningful interactions with students. For example, AI-based grading systems like Gradescope can quickly and consistently grade multiple-choice questions as well as open-ended responses, greatly reducing the workload of teachers. Third, AI dramatically improves accessibility to education. For students with special needs or language barriers, AI-based assistive tools open the door to learning. Tools like Microsoft’s Immersive Reader convert text to speech, translate in real time, and visualize sentence structure to help students who have difficulty reading. This is a major step toward the ideal of “education for all.” Fourth, AI helps develop core competencies essential for future societies. Digital literacy, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration skills are naturally fostered in the process of interacting with AI. For example, in project-based learning using AI, students experience the process of analyzing data, critically evaluating AI results, and coming up with creative solutions. Fifth, AI is revolutionizing learning analytics and feedback systems. AI-based learning analytics tools track and visualize students’ progress, strengths, and weaknesses in real time. This allows educators and parents to better understand and support students’ growth. For example, Carnegie Learning’s MATHia platform analyzes students’ problem-solving processes step by step, helping to accurately identify and correct conceptual errors. Of course, there are challenges in AI education that need to be approached with caution. Privacy protection, algorithmic bias, and ethical use are areas that need to be continuously monitored and improved. We must also be wary of over-relying on AI and diminishing the role of human educators. However, these challenges do not negate the value of AI education, but rather serve as reasons to use it more responsibly. Education policymakers around the world are already making efforts to integrate AI into their education systems. For example, Singapore is providing AI literacy education to all citizens through its 'AI for Everyone' program, and China has announced plans to include AI in its regular education curriculum. Korea also needs to actively establish policies and make investments to keep up with this global trend. AI is now an unstoppable trend in the education sector. Depending on how we respond and utilize it, it can be a threat or an amazing opportunity. I am confident that AI will be a great tool to maximize the potential of learners and create a better educational environment. When we imagine a new generation learning and growing with AI, the future looks bright. We hope that our learners will not fear AI, but rather grow with AI and lead the future. The role of all those interested in education is to develop educational methods suitable for this new era and guide them to use AI properly. If we work together, we will be able to successfully achieve an educational revolution in the AI era.

• Reduced work efficiency • Increased inconvenience in daily life • Difficulty in social communication • Possibility of financial loss • Risk of personal information leakage As AI technology permeates every aspect of our lives, the lack of AI education poses a bigger problem than expected. Beyond missing out on potential future opportunities, there are real and clear losses waiting for us right now. What specific losses will we suffer if we do not receive AI education? Reduced work efficiency Many companies are already implementing business processes that utilize AI technology. For example: Using Chatbots in Customer Service Departments Use of AI-based data analytics tools by marketing teams If you don't know how to use these tools: The speed of work processing is slow. The quality of the results is poor. Your performance may be worse than your peers. Increased inconvenience in daily life AI technology is applied everywhere in our daily lives: Voice recognition assistant for smartphones Smart Home Devices AI-based translation app If you don't know the basic working principles and usage of these technologies: Even simple scheduling or information retrieval requires more time and effort. You may have trouble communicating when traveling abroad. Overall quality of life may be impaired Difficulty in social communication If you don't have a basic understanding of AI:

• Emphasize the importance of AI design that suits educational purposes • Need to provide evidence of rationality and impact • The importance of promoting equity and protecting civil rights • The need for safety and security • The importance of increasing transparency and building trust Designed for Education When developing AI for education , it is essential to understand the unique value and vision of education, because it is not simply about creating technology, but about shaping the future of students. Be sure to check out resources from federal, state, and local education agencies. They provide a voice in the field and can provide information that developers may miss. Resources from nonprofit organizations and industry associations are also very helpful. The most important thing is to continue to listen to educators. From the time you build your product until you release it, you need to keep asking teachers for their thoughts. Only by reflecting the real needs and concerns they feel in the field, can you create truly useful AI. The ethical aspect should never be forgotten. Concepts such as transparency, fairness, non-discrimination, privacy, and educational appropriateness should always be considered. Additionally, it is a good idea to apply the Human-Centered Design method, which is a method of designing products centered on the needs and experiences of users, and is especially important for educational AI. Provide evidence for rationality and impact Developers need to provide evidence that their product or service actually improves student outcomes . The Department of Education’s evidence framework is a good place to start, which outlines four levels of evidence. Strong evidence : Results obtained through rigorous study designs, including randomized controlled trials. Moderate level of evidence : Results obtained through quasi-experimental designs, etc. Promising evidence : Results from correlational studies, etc. Presenting a logical rationale : a rationale based on a well-designed logical model When you first start out, you can base your product on scientific theories, and then gradually build up more rigorous evidence. It’s also important to collect and analyze real-world usage data. Look at how your AI impacts a variety of students, especially those from underrepresented groups. Consider also assessing the long-term impact of AI on students’ academic achievements as well as their non-cognitive abilities (e.g., self-directed learning, collaboration, etc.). Promoting equity and protecting civil rights We need to be careful that AI doesn’t discriminate against certain groups, which is called algorithmic discrimination , and that it doesn’t create inequities in learning opportunities or resource distribution. You should also be aware of civil rights laws that apply to educational settings. It is important to design your AI to comply with these laws. For example, you need to make it accessible to students with disabilities. The data you use to train your AI is also important. If you use biased data, your AI can become biased as well. You should try to use data that can represent students from diverse backgrounds.

Held in Scottsdale, Arizona, February 28-March 1, 2024, the Design Summit brought together 185 participants from more than 60 institutions, including college and school leaders, faculty, educators, students, technology experts, and futurists. Across generations, from 18 to 75+, they mapped out a blueprint for the future of education, centered around the question, “What will the world look like in 2074?” 8 Future Scenarios Project participants detailed eight potential scenarios for 2074: Climate Change and the Role of Education Culturally Responsive AI Curriculum Genetically engineered humans Education in the Post-Truth Era Interspecies communication Extended Reality and Historical Revisionism Mental Health in the Digital Age Trauma Awareness Education and Learning For each scenario, participants presented solutions from the perspectives of policy, innovation, resource needs, and social capital. Climate Change and the Role of Education This scenario presents a new model where schools and universities serve as community connection centers during climate disasters. These centers function beyond simple disaster shelters and serve as spaces for education and training on community safety and sustainability. Proposed solutions include developing comprehensive climate education curricula, introducing immersive learning tools such as virtual reality simulations, investing in renewable energy infrastructure, and building partnerships with environmental organizations. Culturally Responsive AI Curriculum Participants proposed the creation of the AI Ethics and Learning Alliance (AELA), an organization that aims to promote ethical development and community governance of AI solutions to create equitable learning opportunities. Proposed solutions include mandating the integration of AI modules into curricula, testing AI algorithms for bias, and funding research into culturally inclusive AI technologies.
