For this weekly reflection I would like to dive deeper into the topic of AI, specifically in education.

Over the last few months I have gone back and forth with using AI, specifically Chat GPT. As a future teacher who plans to cultivate curiosity within each student I think Chat GPT is so wonderful; especially for inquiry. Its a great place to start and it teaches us to ask questions and then to fine tune those questions, which is a crucial skill when learning through inquiry.

While using this in the classroom, I would simply preface with what AI is and how it works. Hopefully with this front loading, my future students will use it as the tool that it is to guide our learning. I like to also do a google search and find a credible resource to double check the information from Chat GPT. Again, this double checking sparks and cultivates curiosity.

I personally used Chat GPT a few times this week. I spend about 3-5 hours a week studying yoga and ayurveda, and this week I used it to summarize my learning from a book called Yoga and Ayurveda by Dr. David Frawley

I asked Chat GPT to give me some benefits from an Abhyanga and it aligned with the information from the book. I also was looking deeper into the Bandhas and it guided my learning and sparked new learning. This is one of the reasons why I like it so much is because it can guide us to new questions.

Here is a screenshot from my brief conversation with Chat:
