βShould We Integrate AI into Our Teaching?: Evidence-Based Guidelines for Deciding When AI Belongsβ
βThis article by Norman Eng, EdD, published on Faculty Focus, takes an honest look at whether AI actually helps students learn. Based on recent research, Eng argues that leaning too heavily on AI can weaken critical thinking, hurt long-term learning, and cut short the very struggle that makes knowledge stick. He offers four practical questions educators should ask before bringing AI into the classroom — with one clear priority: student learning always comes first.βββββ
This article by Doug Dingwall, published on ABC News, takes an honest look at how schools across Asia are approaching AI in education — and the results are very different in each country. Singapore is leading the way with a clear focus on AI literacy, critical thinking, and avoiding over-reliance on the technology. China is making AI education mandatory in many provinces, while South Korea sees it as a matter of national survival. Japan, on the other hand, is taking a cautious, wait-and-see approach. Researchers are also weighing in, stating that when students use AI to replace their own thinking rather than sharpen it, the risks outweigh the benefits. A timely and important read for any parent, educator, or student navigating this rapidly changing landscape.
