Dr. Mike Swize, the former Superintendent of Palm Springs Unified School District, emphasizes the critical importance of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into educational frameworks. Dr. Swize expresses concern over school districts lagging in the proactive adoption of AI technologies, potentially missing out on the transformative benefits these tools offer for enhancing student learning experiences.
He highlights that students and businesses are already engaging with AI daily, urging educational institutions to become proactive learning organizations that embrace new technologies rather than reacting to external innovations. Dr. Swize advocates for a concerted effort to familiarize educational staff with AI, aiming to ignite their creativity, passion, and eagerness to learn.
He underscores the potential of AI in education as a largely untapped resource that could revolutionize how learning is facilitated, making a strong case for school districts to prioritize the exploration and integration of AI to not only meet but exceed educational expectations.
Our school district is going to be on the cutting edge of artificial intelligence and education, or are we going to be behind the curve and react to other people's creativity and problem solving.
I'm very concerned that our school districts have not taken both hands and wrapped it around the potential of intelligence, because I'll tell you what, our students and all of the businesses we use daily, they already have.
So I wanna make sure that school districts are places that continue to be learning organizations, and we're not afraid of what's new.
We actually look forward to learning new things. And for me, this area of in artificial intelligence and is a perfect example.
I don't want our public school districts to be reactive to something that has such great potential to be transformational in student educational experiences.
There are ways to expose your staff to the world of artificial intelligence, to spark their individual creativity, passion, and desire to learn more because that's what we're supposed to be doing every day with our students.
Sparking that joy of learning.
School districts need to learn just as much as we expect our students to. And an area I think that is completely untapped is artificial intelligence in education.
