I love the idea of training students to use AI for feedback instead of doing their work for them. It's a practical approach to a tool they’re already using.
Well done, Paul! We have been 'spraying and praying' for far too long. With educators like yourself guiding and encouraging AI non-believers, we can hopefully save our students and the sinking ship that is the current education system. Love your enthusiasm and passion!
Loved the points he made about teachers getting the time off to actually learn how to use these tools. There's nothing worse than having another task heaped on top of the workload, even if you're excited about doing it it often just ends up being frustrating
He's been talking about this at school walst he's been teaching showing gust how passionate he is about this and is why I'm proud to be one of his students
They say nothing is better than a diddy party, I think this is. this changed my life and gave me a new perspective of reality that I never even thought I could comprehend
The idea of using AI to differentiate reading materials for students of different levels is a really good one. It's those little extra steps that can sometimes slip away from teachers who already have so much on their plate.
The concept of retrieval practice facilitated by AI is brilliant. Teachers are so over worked anything that can give them more free time needs to happen!
Education as we currently know it is over. So glad to see education finally changing to actually help people learn better. Thanks so much for the work you're doing, Paul! Cheers!
The point about needing $6.4 billion to tutor all the struggling students in Tasmania along really highlights the practicality of using AI instead. Those are the kinds of solutions we need.
Back in the 70s the only reasons I went to high school was to meet people my own age and that my parents were high up in the school system. Nothing to do with education. The only thing I learned was how American society 'worked'? AI was expected to be the class room of the future back in the 60s.
That two sigma study really drives the point home. Like those results are crazy and if we can start getting them with AI why aren't we using it already??
Just good for students and also for teachers because AI not designed for complicating life but for making it easier than before ,i like this idea so much
I'm a teacher. I tried to find AI tools to create a kind of personal tutor for my students. But it turned out AI makes mistakes even with the easiest tasks. Big waste of time.
I can see how AI would benefit education in general but I also feel like we're just avoiding the real issue of underfunded schools and overworked teachers.
I like these ideas. But, give teachers more time and school boards or governments will give them more students to cut costs, thus some teachers will lose their jobs if 7 teachers are enough and they are paying for 10.
I don't think it's a great idea to focus too much on AI right now. between the outrageous cost in both energy and dollars and the diminishing returns from exponentially larger data sets I'm not sure we're going to see a reliable, fit-for-purpose neural net AI solution for quite some time, if ever
Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic are the three fundamentals of education. Of course, most everyone watching this does not know what that means because it doesn't mean voice, typing, and entering the equation into a device to give them an answer. I'm retiring so fire away. By the way, I'm the Technology Coordinator at a public school. I know AI will take over the world sooner than later, and I am NOT opposed to it, but don't want to be involved in the forefront of the AI war. Anybody not scared should be but I'll be fishing and hunting with very little to worry about except my beautiful wife and dog beside me. Have fun with the robots that replace us. Just saying 1984 style.
Yeah I don't know about using AI to tutor... that may be because I'm a tutor lol but in my experience there's a lot that a child gains just from having someone believe in them, reassure them and build their confidence. Not sure how you'd get AI to do all of that
That's true - I don't think AI would make a good replacement for a tutor. The key idea is that AI could help or harm, and we should train students so they can use it to help!
You got nothing to worry about. Did the camera replace the portrait painter? Did the robot replace the factory worker? Did importing good replace US manufacturing? See your job is safe. You will get recognition and a raise in no time!
Has to be the longest 17 minutes to say nothing of value I've ever sat through. You can't gloss over how LLM's actually work and expect people to understand how to best use the tool, as understanding the way it generates results is key to being able to maximise it's value and apply it in a responsible manner. When you use it to generate various reading grade level questions what is your review process, how do you manage any unexpected content changes and what steps do you take to ensure the result of prompts are matching expectations and inline with other educators? These tools at their current maturity should be used to automate your menial work tasks in order to allow you as an education expert to create relevant content for students and focus on education, not as a way to shift critical parts of your role to digital Jesus..

That's exactly right! ?tudents WILL use it, why not train them to use it well>
"AI is not here to take your job, it's here to help you do a better job." yessss I love this attitude!
Well done, Paul! We have been 'spraying and praying' for far too long. With educators like yourself guiding and encouraging AI non-believers, we can hopefully save our students and the sinking ship that is the current education system. Love your enthusiasm and passion!
We don't want to be spraying and praying, do we?? Thank you for your kind words, friend!

You're a good man! Proud to be your teacher.

I don't think it's better. I know it's better.

Exactly right! Such a good point.
what he says around the 16:00 mark is spot on, and if we can help show them the most productive ways of using it that's what we should be doing
The concept of retrieval practice facilitated by AI is brilliant. Teachers are so over worked anything that can give them more free time needs to happen!
Amen - it's such a good use case! To be honest, it's probably the one I use the most in my practice.
Education as we currently know it is over. So glad to see education finally changing to actually help people learn better. Thanks so much for the work you're doing, Paul! Cheers!
Thank you friend - if we navigate this well it will be great news for our teachers and students!
Liike
Love the idea of just doing the basics better rather than some huge new initiative
Excellent talk, Paul! You are a true leader of AI in education.
Thank you, Leon! I appreciate your kind words.

He is my humanity’s teacher 💪
Humanities*🤓☝
What a time to be alive 🙌
A thought provoking talk Paul!
Thanks mate - for those looking on, Coach Josh has his own TEDx talk - you should look it up!
the best part was when he said its sigma time
Look up the 2 Sigma Problem - it's a big deal!
Leverage AI to facilitate the teaching and learning process!
That two sigma study really drives the point home. Like those results are crazy and if we can start getting them with AI why aren't we using it already??
Awesome sauce
Pretty awesome sauce if I do say so myself
this is so sigma
Amen.
Incredible, this changed my life
its so bob✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨saggotingly amazing to see that he's come this far ❤❤
Just good for students and also for teachers
because AI not designed for complicating life but for making it easier than before
,i like this idea so much
So interesting!
I thought you might like it!
The knowledge of learning i have gotten from this video has made me cool and i thank paul matthew for the amazing talk
wanna go to maccas later
It's the least I could do!
great video
wow this is a very good video make sure to like guys and watch 50 times
great video once again

Big waste of time.
Hope you see this Mr matthews
Consider yourself seen!
@@PaulMatthewsAIam I seen?
good
what a great video
Thank you for the practical advice on how to use AI! Those prompts are definitely going to come in handy.
I can see how AI would benefit education in general but I also feel like we're just avoiding the real issue of underfunded schools and overworked teachers.
super good video mate
Awesome video🤩
Thank you, friend!
interesting ideas!
students could learn stuff with AI (maybe at home) then go to school for a test
That's right!
new tech is the new way
I like these ideas. But, give teachers more time and school boards or governments will give them more students to cut costs, thus some teachers will lose their jobs if 7 teachers are enough and they are paying for 10.
banger video, very informal 🔥
hmm, dont we lose thinking skills if we rely on AI?
I've legit never heard the term "eye-watering" before lol definitely paints a picture
give give

the ai is to create the lessons for the teacher to teach lad

Hello Mr Matthew’s
Bob Saget. WOW Paul, u would make a great teacher 2 some very salty sour straps
Whoaaa doggy
What the sigma
I've always thought so..
machine learning AI? like the same kind google implemented that was telling people to put glue on their pizza?
My friends, this is awful. BOB SAGET!
You've cut me deep, Shrek.
I am sad that it can only help Tasmanian students.
drake would be proud
Mr Matthews can you give me a good grade for commenting on this video?
Sorry is it not super obvious that a student who got 1 on 1 tutoring would perform well above the average?
ngl pretty sigma
You're too kind.

I'd go so far as to say it's pretty good..
