AI (Artificial Intelligence) in school

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using the information), reasoning (using the rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions) and self-correction. Particular applications of AI include expert systems, speech recognition and machine vision.
With the expected growth of AI in education, here is a glimpse into some of the roles it will play in the classroom.
1.      Support Teachers
In addition to helping with grading, AI will also provide support for teachers in other ways. Some of the routine task can be managed by AI, as well as communication with students.
2.      Support Students
Pearson has already suggested that in the future students will have an AI lifelong learning companion. Essentially, this next generation of students will grow up with an AI companion that knows their personal history and school history. Therefore, it will know each student’s individual strengths and weaknesses.
3.      Meet a Variety of Student Needs
In addition to acting as a personalized learning companion, AI will also be able to help students with special needs by adapting materials to lead them to success. For instance, studies are already showing positive results for AI teaching ASD students social skills.
4.      Allow Teachers to Act as Learning Motivators
As AI takes on more of a teaching role by providing students with basic information, it will change the role of teachers in the classroom. Teachers will move into the role of classroom facilitator or learning motivator.
5.      Provide Personalized Help
AI will also provide personalized tutoring for students outside of the classroom. When students need to reinforce skills or master ideas before an assessment, AI will be able to provide students with the additional tools they need for success.
6.      Identify Weaknesses in the Classroom

AI will also work in identifying classroom weaknesses. For instance, AI will identify when groups of students miss certain questions letting the teacher know when material needs to be retaught. In this way, AI will also hold teachers accountable and strengthen best teaching practices.

Technology is an enabler, not a replacement of the GURU

We see ourselves entering the world of high-end technology of the classroom boards and smart phones. The impact is all pervasive. Not long ago we lived through times when there were no such applications. Turn around for the flashback, there was hardly anything like the so called ‘High -tech support system’ that today we almost take for granted. Imagining the scenes, for connectivity between a parent and a teacher, the only way was through the landline at school or the PTMs. Resources have multiplied, and so have our expectations. Lo and Behold, A WhatsApp message by the worried parent of a primary class kid instantly connects her to the teacher sitting and relaxing at her home after hours. Bounds of time and distance have fallen. The innocent school diary of our times has given way to the smart ID card. Coaching   with those conventional blackboards which used to give us a sigh of satisfaction, now turned into online, and spreading its wings fast. We may not be far away from w...

*Governor's Rule in Kashmir*

President Ram Nath Kovind approved the imposition of governor's rule in Jammu and Kashmir, a day after the BJP pulled out of its alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Jammu and Kashmir. In all states of India, the state government's failure results in President's rule. The process is slightly more nuanced in Jammu and Kashmir where not the President's but Governor's rule is imposed. The Constitution of India grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir among Indian states, and it is the only state in India to have a separate Constitution and regulations specific to it. Though many have hailed the decision of the central government to have presidents rule in Kashmir the decision has its pit falls: a.        The decision to bring in President's rule is like turning the clock back twenty years, when it was difficult to even get a democratically elected government.   *Some questions*: 1. What is the overall aim in Kashmir or the na...
