A Calgary school is leveraging artificial intelligence to streamline lesson planning and report card creation. Connect Charter School collaborated with a University of Calgary researcher to develop AI tools named Ally and Harmony, which assist teachers in generating lesson plans and report card comments efficiently. This initiative reflects a growing trend of integrating AI into educational settings, as students increasingly utilize AI for various tasks.
Teachers at Connect Charter School can input specific criteria into the AI tools to receive tailored lesson plans in minutes, significantly reducing their workload. While the school embraces AI, there are ongoing discussions about the ethical implications of using AI in classrooms, especially concerning students' dependency on these technologies. The principal and educators are focused on ensuring that AI enhances teaching without compromising the essential human element in education.
