When I was preparing the TED Talk, it was difficult to choose a limited number of examples within the short timeframe. But absolutely it is. Another example I use in my workshops is how many of us still are glancing at our phones or a screen on the dashboard while driving. This is very inefficient and even dangerous. Instead, many cars now have displays that overlay the key information we need such as our speed and where to turn directly on the windscreen. Military pilots have used similar technology for decades. We are shifting from a "heads down" to a "heads up" society for education and training.
Seems being at school is way better these days with all the cool tech! We used to have to write with a pencil really neat to get our pen license. Wrote out all the times tables because "you won't always have a calculator in your pocket" my things have changed so quickly
That is a good example of how education has and is shifting. When I was preparing the TED Talk, it was challenging to select specific examples to share in the short time. But of course this is the way it was and is. In middle school, we were required to take typing lessons, in graduate school I had to show students what a computer mouse was, those kinds of things are no longer in most (any?) curriculums. So we must adapt and move forward with these tools to ask new questions and develop new competencies. Onward...
When I was building the TED Talk, it was challenging to fit in all the ways education is changing. Certainly we educators are being transformed by this phase of industrial revolutions as much as any profession. It calls to question which competencies really matter and certainly invites us to use the tech in new ways to develop them!
We have a ways to go for certain. This week at my university, we are hosting the EFMD Global Americas conference at our Hult Boston campus. Among the fascinating panels, consensus is that AI is here, growing fast, and now we need to embrace its benefits while also building on the unique value that humans (individuals, teams) bring to an organization or to a classroom. Starting small with a few lessons is a great step and, perhaps surprisingly, the AI bots can be used to help design these lessons I speak to in the talk based on learning objectives for classes.
I really struggled with the implementation early on. Yet I found using the bots helped me design lessons incorporating them. They do a good job drafting initial scenarios and even scripts, for example, and suggesting ways students can collaborate with the tools along the way. Starting small with one lesson plan may be a way to explore these possibilities.
Agree! And the research supports this. I recently shared a post on my personal channel @patricklynchphd about the 4 faces of AI. As you said, especially initially, AI is stronger at analytics freeing us up to flex our creativity!
I had no idea about trauma affected teens having a tougher time in traditional learning environments... definitely makes sense of some of my experiences at school
I wonder how immersive learning could help onboarding. When I started my current job it was such a staggered and frustrating process and I feel like it's the same for a lot of workplaces. If it could help with that it would be awesome!
I think part of the issue is that students have so much access to high tech in their social/leisure time but when it comes to school things haven't really changed all that much
Strongly agree! While I have empathy, it's time for instructors and school systems to evolve and explore. Many of these tools can enhance learning fulfilling our educational missions better than before.
When I was building this TED Talk, it was difficult to fit all relevant topics into the timeframe yet this is a critical issue. My daughter is finishing here PhD focused on these topics and has evidence that digital literacy and education are at least as important, sometimes more important, than mere access and affordability. This has implications for future programs that either subsidize cost of access or educate or both. I believe there is converging evidence that we must remain open to continued learning about these technologies and find ways to reach wide populations to ensure we all keep rowing together.
When he said "are we teaching students skills that will be obsolete by the time they graduate" I realised none of the salespeople at this company are gonna be here in 10 years.
These developments call to question what competency are we seeking to develop. Maybe we’ve been testing for knowledge more appropriate for some prior eras. Where do we go from here!
I can see how VR and AR could really aid in an immersive learning sense, but unless you can teach a drone to clean the gutters or concrete a driveway, we're still gonna need humans for the qrunt work.
I think the fear of displacement is very real for many people.
The cave painting connection was mind-blowing. Makes you realize how deeply rooted storytelling is in our DNA.
It makes sense that you would get such better results with such a better experience!

This is so cool. Makes me excited as a teacher to see how it all develops! Certainly feels like it's changing every day!
As I shared in the TED Talk, I think there is great opportunity for we educators to innovate and discover new ways to explore learning.
I'm a programmer and the idea of using AI as a collaborator is game-changing. Already brainstorming new project ideas!
Man that Sphere theatre looks fire! 🔥
There are definitely so many exciting direction this technology can be taken in
I work in retail and totally get what he means about theater skills helping with customer service. improv classes changed my game!
man, education has come a long way since I was in school. kinda jealous of kids these days with all this cool tech!

The example of cave paintings being immersive learning is so cool!
As a teacher, I'm both excited and nervous about AI in the classroom. His ideas are intriguing, but implementation seems daunting.

This is actually so interesting and makes me think about how learning/teaching styles have evolved over time.
Honestly I think the whole role of AI should be to do the logistic/analytic stuff and let us be as creative as we were always meant to be!

Great talk, but left me with more questions than answers. Excited to dive deeper into this topic and see where it all leads!
It’s a great time to be exploring, lots happening in these spaces.
Loved hearing the bit about 97 million new jobs being created, especially that they'll be based on creativity!
We need creative solutions in so many places. While it’s a dynamic time, good to look forward to what’s next and what we can do.
@@patricklynchphd very true

I've tried VR training at work and it was incredible. Can definitely see how this could transform education too.
Спасибо!
Thank you so much!

Excellent!
Really appreciate your support and enthusiasm!
Interesting talk, but I worry about the digital divide. How do we ensure everyone has access to these immersive technologies?

Anyone else wanna see this guy in Fidler on the roof?
Not sure I buy the whole "AI won't replace us, just enhance us" argument. Feels a bit naive given how fast tech is advancing.
As someone who bombed standardized tests😅 lmao I'm all for more personalized, immersive learning. Could've changed my academic trajectory.
These developments call to question what competency are we seeking to develop. Maybe we’ve been testing for knowledge more appropriate for some prior eras. Where do we go from here!
@@patricklynchphd forward we hope
Soooo just get really good at prompts and you're sweet yeah?
I can see how VR and AR could really aid in an immersive learning sense, but unless you can teach a drone to clean the gutters or concrete a driveway, we're still gonna need humans for the qrunt work.
Oh wow the stuff around the 6:20 mark was so awesome! What a cool way to get the confidence and creativity up
So many ways to explore and shape this future.
