More About EdChats' Current Topic
Generative artificial intelligence is sending shockwaves through education, and it is only in its earliest stages. Soothsayers and critics are predicting everything from the fall of the Academy to liberation from an outdated, inequitable educational model. Regardless of one’s posture, the possibilities it represents for students with dyslexia are immense. From an instructional tool for remediation to a game-changing assistive technology—and likely outcomes that we cannot even imagine yet.
As educators dedicated to serving students with dyslexia and other learning differences, we must understand this technology’s potential and how it can serve our students. We must think beyond the immediate to consider how these advancements will transform the world of work and how that could change the charge of education. Never before has this level of disruption presented an opportunity to re-imagine a system that was broken from the beginning.
