Blog Post 4: AI Use For Assesments

Brain Power vs AI

 AI For Feedback:

Artificial Intelligence is being used in classrooms and other areas for support. When looking at a classroom setting, AI is being used to help with grading and giving feedback to students. A positive of using AI as a tool in classrooms is that students will be able to get their feedback and a grade instantly, which could help them understand where they went wrong and where they could improve.  Also, the feedback that will be given to the students could be personalized to each student. Lastly, by having AI automatically give the students feedback and grades, it allows teachers to have more free time to work on other things, such as creating lesson plans. However, there are some limitations to AI's ability to give feedback to students. One example that comes to mind is that AI doesn't have the ability to be empathic towards students, so the feedback that it will be able to give to students will be limited.

Academic Integrity and Ethics: 

Some concerns that educators should consider when using AI as a tool in their classroom are that there could be bias because AI is only judging students by their assessments, so the feedback will not be accurate, because there could be different factors that could affect how the student is doing on the assessment. When we are giving feedback to students, the teacher will be able to understand if the student is struggling and be empathic. Human judgment is essential because we can understand complex problems and creative solutions.   

My Perspective:

If I were to use AI as a tool in my future classroom, I would not rely on the information it provides, even though it could be very useful. I think that when giving feedback, AI could be helpful to quickly get the information that is being used to create the feedback for the students, but I would then look over the feedback that was written by the AI and change some of it because as a teacher you know your students so you would know what their strengths and weaknesses better than the AI. When using AI as a tool you have to set boundaries. One boundary that is important to set is to not take the information that AI gives you as complete fact because there are times were it can be wrong.
