Summary: Advances in technology, including AI chatbots like ChatGPT and virtual reality tools, are transforming education by providing new ways of teaching and learning, but also present challenges. Stanford Graduate School of Education Dean Dan Schwartz and other experts highlight the potential for universal access to high-quality education but caution against simply making bad teaching methods more efficient. AI can automate grading and lesson planning, freeing teachers for more meaningful interactions, while immersive technologies and gamification can enhance student engagement. However, the increasing use of technology, while offering the promise of personalized learning, also raises concerns about data privacy and the need for systems that can help educators effectively utilize collected data and address diverse student needs.
