Hannah, a former teacher, joins'Fox & Friends' to explain why she left the classroom, saying AI tools are making it difficult to teach. A former high school English teacher went viral this week after posting a candid video on social media announcing she was quitting the teaching profession because of how technology was "ruining" education. In her video, which reached over 1 million views on TikTok, Hannah explained how AI tools have made teaching more difficult because students rely on technology to do the work for them and are unmotivated to put in effort themselves. She said that kids do not know how to read because of read-aloud tools, and have short attention spans because of the "high stimulation" of social media. "They want to use [technology] for entertainment. They don't want to use it for education," she said in a TikTok video which reached over 1 million views.

The COVID-19 crisis has forced millions of teachers around the world to rapidly learn how to use technology to effectively support student learning and assessment, stay connected with their students, experiment with teaching models, and reduce the workload so they can focus on teaching. There are many promising solutions that are helping teachers become more effective, including new technologies such as machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI) and optimised workflows. For example, Revisely is an education company that helps teachers give better feedback on students' writing assignments, such as essays and papers. It saves teachers time by offering built-in comment sets and doing a plagiarism check on student work, among other features. In addition, teachers can track the performance of students on all assignments throughout their learning journey.

Prologue: This is not an introduction to AI or AI in education. You can find these here and here, respectively. Rather, this is a constellation of positions on AI from an educator's perspective. I pull together disparate aspects of current debates about AI and education in order to articulate some directions for the field. Lately I've been sitting in rooms with a lot of thoughtful people from industry, different disciplines in academia, and policy backgrounds to think through artificial intelligence (AI) and education.

DUBAI – Artificial intelligence could be the breakthrough that teachers have been waiting for. At the recently concluded GESS Dubai, experts showed a glimpse of the future for the teaching profession with the help of AI, and how it can contribute significantly to school improvement. Century Tech founder and CEO Priya Lakhani presented an AI platform for school improvement that presents real-time data on a student, entire class even a whole school to support timely and evidence-based interventions; as well as multimedia content that can be used in and out of the classroom with features that can also help automate certain tasks such as assessments and tracking of homework. "With teachers spending up to 60% of their time on administrative tasks and data management they need a solution which saves them time to do what they love: teach!" commented Lakhani, who also says the AI platform can also be used to improve outcome for learners as well as involve parents and guardians. Meanwhile, Sallyann dela Casa, lead Skills Hacker at GLEAC and head of Growing Leaders Foundation, says AI can be harnessed to develop outstanding schools.
