As we encounter the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence in education, it might be fun to ask ourselves: which ‘AI House’ do we belong to? Just like in the world of Harry Potter, where students are sorted into houses that reflect their personalities and values, the academic world seems to have its own sorting hat for AI perspectives.
1. House Enthusiastico
Inspired by Gryffindor’s courage and adventure
Do you find yourself excitedly integrating AI tools into your classroom? Are you always looking for new technologies to enhance learning? If you’re passionate about using AI to push boundaries and innovate in education, you might be a proud member of House Enthusiastico!
2. House Pragmaticlaw
Echoing Ravenclaw’s wisdom and intelligence
Are you someone who recognizes the usefulness of AI but maintains a balanced approach? If you’re all about using AI where it benefits your teaching and research, without getting swept away by every new trend, House Pragmaticlaw could be your academic home.
3. House Skeptislytherin
Reflecting Slytherin’s caution and resourcefulness
Perhaps you’re cautious about the widespread adoption of AI. If you often raise concerns about academic integrity and the potential loss of critical thinking skills, you might find a kinship with House Skeptislytherin.
4. House Traditionalpuff
Influenced by Hufflepuff’s dedication and loyalty
If you’re dedicated to the traditional methods of teaching and learning, valuing human interaction over technological advancements, then House Traditionalpuff is calling your name.
Whether you’re an AI enthusiast, a practical user, a skeptic, or a traditionalist, your approach plays a crucial role in shaping the future of education in the age of AI. So, which house do you belong to? Maybe you find yourself in more than one.
As we come back together for this new semester, I am looking forward to a rich dialogue across our different perspectives! This is an opportunity for us all to grow and learn from each other, expanding our understanding of the role we play in our students’ education and preparation for their future.
