Starter Patai – Does your brain get lazy when using AI to do all the work?
Yes if you think surface level, letting it do things without fact checking or using it to support what you are doing.
How does this relate to our tamariki? They are growing up in a space where AI is accessible, ‘solves’ all their problems and they are losing the ability to thik for themselves, any type of problem solving and even ability to remember simple things.
You use AI to quickly generate responses so you can manage workload. How does this support wellbeing? What long term skills are you developing?
Growing proficient at refining prompts – fact checking, editing etc… Critical thinking skills – needing to check where facts or figures are coming from.

Can see potential uses with students especially in my Big Picture class who are doing project based mahi.
Kuraplan report comment generator: This seems handy. Trying with a few kids now.
Must remember that AI are ‘synthesising information’ – taking evidence from what’s out in the big wide web and providing what it thinks we want. Need to tread carefully and not take everything as gospel.
