"The answer to the problem or challenge of generative AI in education is generative teaching," writes Steve Hargadon. What does that mean? "How can we help students understand and use these amazing new tools in a way that lights the fires of their intellectual curiosity and growth, rather than just filling the pails through of traditional instruction and assessment?" I think this is the right approach - it is often better to run toward a challenge than to retreat from it. But as Hargadon notes, "t we have to become capable enough ourselves with an understanding AI in order to manage the process." This is a longer post that frames both the question and answer; worth a read.
