The usability of AI is growing in leaps and bounds. How can AI be used to assist students learn how to learn? We’ll focus on a couple of the most common ways AI is used in educational circles: 1) as an idea generator and muse; 2) as a writing coach and exemplar generator; 3) as a content synthesizer and question generator; and 4) as a socratic coach and conversationalist. We’ll pay close attention to the idea of epistemological resonance; matching the way people learn to process and code information with the way AI’s generate and present information. While you can fight AI, we’ve found some amazing parallels with respect to it and the way you teach gifted students with overbalanced analytical tendencies. When teaching with AI’s, meta-cognition matters. Discussion is related to high school humanities courses, but it’s general enough to apply to any Div III or Div IV teacher.
