Has AI changed how you design homework and what does your 'AI-era homework' look like?

My 'AI-era' homework is about interaction. I have eliminated traditional written work unless it includes an intentional AI component, like a debate simulator. Now, homework is for reading, watching, listening and sparring with AI so that class time can be 100% dedicated to high-level discussion.

I now am trying to install a 'critical' mindset in my Students; I ask them to question what they have learnt and how they learnt it.

I love this question. It makes me wonder if the future of homework might include AI as a starting place to begin, assist, and respond to learning experiences at home. I encourage the use of Flexi, a free AI Tool for tutoring and homework help in order to help students learn concepts, practice ideas, and master skills!

AI has definitely changed the homework I assign and I think that it should, and it definitely will, change the way we design learning in general. For the past three months I have formed a group of colleagues and we have been running a pilot in our school, testing how changing the kind of...

The obvious concern is "are they going to cheat and use AI?", and the simple answer is, yes. Why wouldn't they? Some AI tools are literally being marketed to students saying "this will do your homework for you", and by and large they are pretty good at it too!One thing as a science teacher I have asked students to do is to give them a prewritten prompt, such as "Act as an expert Science...

"However, I think that this era we have entered calls for an overall change in educational systems and great adaptability on behalf of schools." This is the clarion call needed to ensure that the next generation is not merely reactive to change, but ready to lead it.
