Teachers learn to better use AI in their classrooms at ST’s interactive AI workshop
Teachers learn to better use AI tools to create classroom activities at ST’s interactive AI workshop on Oct 29
Singapore's teachers participated in an interactive workshop on October 29 to learn how to effectively incorporate generative AI (Gen AI) into their classrooms. Held at SPH Media News Centre in Toa Payoh North, the event was attended by over 80 primary and secondary school teachers from 45 schools. The workshop, facilitated by StoryLab Academy trainers, aimed to help teachers tailor AI-generated content to their classroom's specific contexts and students' learning abilities.
The session built upon the previous year's focus on AI-generated visual content and expanded to include tools like Gemini Notebook and ChatGPT. Teachers utilized articles from Little Red Dot and IN, The Straits Times' student publications, to create lesson resources. Gen AI is increasingly adopted in Singaporean schools, and the workshop emphasized AI literacy and responsible use.
ST editor Jaime Ho explained that AI literacy is akin to media literacy and involves distinguishing fact from fiction, identifying bias, and appreciating the human touch in content. During the workshop, teachers generated videos, infographics, and other materials, ensuring their accuracy and avoiding AI-created misinformation. Teachers like Faizal Mohamad, Desirene Teng, and Rosalind Lee praised the time-saving benefits of AI in generating differentiated resources for students with varying abilities.
The workshop's activities demonstrated the potential of Gen AI to expedite classroom processes and enhance teaching.
