AI stands for Artificial Intelligence and is generally defined as a machine\/computer processing system that mimics human intelligence through information acquisition, reasoning, and self-correction. It has slowly become a growing part of our lives in that a lot of websites and programs we use have some sort of AI component. A great short video from ISTE.org (International Society for Technology in Education) offers a nice explanation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Teach AI | Prepare our students for the future\" width=\"843\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YmZJmmys7Ps?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you use Amazon, Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest), Gmail, Netflix, Siri, Alexa, Hey Google, or Google Maps, then you are using AI within its recommendations, facial detection, path or decision-making processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Beneficial Uses of AI in the Classroom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A great learning experience can be created by teaching about the different components of AI.  Dian Schaffhauser (2019), from The Journal, described some excellent educational experiences dealing with students learning about the decision tree aspects of AI and even having students create their own chatbots (experiential learning). More and more research is also showing the feasibility and benefits of AI systems within the classroom ( Aljohani, 2019; Cui, Xue, &amp; Thai, 2019;  Holstein, McLaren, &amp;  Aleven, 2018). The following are some specific ways\/programs to use AI directly within a class to enhance different educational processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Turnitin<\/strong> is an online AI powered service that checks for text originality and plagiarism. It additionally looks for errors in citation and provides feedback for correction: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/www.turnitin.com (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.turnitin.com\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.turnitin.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PEG Writing (Mi)<\/strong> is an online automated grading software system that uses AI to read, understand,  process, grade and provide feedback on submitted essay documents: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.measurementinc.com\/products-services\/automated-essay-scoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/www.measurementinc.com\/products-services\/automated-essay-scoring (opens in a new tab)\">https:\/\/www.measurementinc.com\/products-services\/automated-essay-scoring<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Microsoft Translator for Education<\/strong> is a free plugin for PowerPoint that creates real-time subtitles of instructors&#8217; speech (displayed below the presentation).  Using the Azure Cognitive Services, AI-powered speech recognition, and translation allows students to hear\/read what is being said in their own native language: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/translator\/education (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/translator\/education\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/translator\/education<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thinkster<\/strong> is a math tutoring platform that uses AI and machine learning to assist math coaches with student performance tracking. AI is used to visualize a student\u2019s thought process as they work on a math  problem: <a href=\"https:\/\/hellothinkster.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/hellothinkster.com (opens in a new tab)\">https:\/\/hellothinkster.com<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also some other interesting examples of AI online such as the Chatbot from Elbot available at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/www.elbot.com (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elbot.com\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.elbot.com<\/a> or the Akinator guessing program from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/en.akinator.com (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.akinator.com\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/en.akinator.com<\/a>.
