A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
A new artificial intelligence (AI) program, ChatGPT, is sweeping the internet. The free software can do everything from writing essays, film scripts, and poetry, to passing graduate-level law and business school exams. This revolutionary software, while no doubt exciting, also concerns many educators, who feel that students could abuse the software by using it to easily cheat on school assignments. New York City is one of several large school districts that has already banned students from using ChatGPT, as officials review the potential pros and cons of giving students access to such a powerful resource. Not all educators agree on this issue, though. Some, feel that AI is an emerging skill that we should be encouraging young people to pursue to better prepare them for the workforce of the future. One such educator, Dr. Ethan Mollick, an Associate Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, joins MetroFocus to discuss why he not only encourages the use of ChatGPT in the classroom – he requires it.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
