This week I had the opportunity to\u00a0Alliance for Applied AI & Innovation<\/em>\u00a0to speak at the GK Software education panel in Sch\u00f6neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

My topic:\u00a0\u201eThink digital. Learn practice. \u2013 Practical & AI\u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This has confirmed an observation that I am currently making in almost all conversations with schools, providers and partners:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

AI is not the problem.<\/strong>
It is our uncertainty in dealing with it.<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Between departure and disorientation<\/strong><\/h5><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hardly any topic is developing as dynamically as Artificial Intelligence. New tools are emerging on a weekly basis, and the possibilities seem boundless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in the reality of schools, this dynamic often leads to a standstill due to being overwhelmed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Tool jungle:<\/strong>\u00a0Uncertainty in selecting the \u201eright\u201c solution<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Island solutions<\/strong>\u00a0Overwhelmed by too many isolated tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Methodology vacuum<\/strong>\u00a0Lack of clarity on how AI specifically improves teaching<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The result: we're having many discussions but still see too little real application. AI in teaching fails not because of the technology, but because of the lack of practical application in everyday school life and the lack of methodology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Vortragstitel<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The real problem: there is a lack of practice<\/strong><\/h5><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The debate is often conducted on a purely strategic level: What are the risks? What rules do we need?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is important \u2013 but it doesn't answer the crucial question: How does AI help on Tuesday morning during the second hour?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/path><\/svg><\/div>


    Three pillars for real change<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

    (1) Away from the tool hype \u2013 towards methodology<\/strong>

    Another tool doesn't solve a problem.
    What schools need is clear didactic integration and a noticeable saving of time in their day-to-day operations.


    (2) Empowering teachers \u2013 not replacing them<\/strong>
    AI is changing the role of the teacher: from knowledge disseminator to\u00a0Curator, learning companion and context provider<\/strong>

    This requires tools that support, rather than add to, the burden.

    (2) Practice before perfection<\/strong>
    The best concepts don't come from the boardroom, but from the classroom:

    by trial and error
    by iterating
    :: through direct feedback
    <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n


    How AI can really work in the classroom<\/strong><\/h5><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    An example is the Estonian solution\u00a0Practical<\/strong>. The all-in-one solution offers the following options, among others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Grandfathering:<\/strong>\u00a0Existing materials will be retained and can be adapted and extended.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Hybridity<\/strong>\u00a0Digital content and physical experiments are meaningfully combined<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Efficiency<\/strong>\u00a0AI specifically supports the creation and adaptation of teaching units<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      With Praktikal, there is one solution. Not ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The practical methodology is based on a question: How can teaching become easier, better, and more practical?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      My conclusion<\/h5><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      If we want to seriously establish AI in schools, we must stop viewing it primarily as a technology project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And starting to see it for what it is: A tool for better education<\/strong>Possibilities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Less discussion about possibilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • More focus on application<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Less complexity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • More clarity in everyday life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n

        Thinking digitally is important.<\/strong> Gaining practical experience is crucial.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
