As reported by The Guardian, from chatting with Darwin to turning stories into images, AI is already transforming learning in schools across England
Artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way into classrooms across England in innovative and unexpected ways. From Charles Darwin chatting with students about evolution to primary school pupils seeing their writing transformed into images, AI is reshaping the learning experience.
While Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson called for a “digital revolution” involving AI in schools earlier this year, the change is already underway in schools such as Willowdown Primary in Bridgwater, Somerset. Matt Cave, the school’s head teacher, shared that his pupils have been using AI to enhance their descriptive writing skills. By feeding their work into an AI platform, students can generate images based on their writing, helping them visualise their ideas and improve their creativity.
The results have been “brilliant,” according to Cave, who highlighted the positive impact AI has had on his students’ engagement and imagination. His observations stand in contrast to the concerns voiced by some school leaders, who have expressed apprehension about the role of AI in education.
