After its launch last month, ChatGPT, the latest chatbot released by OpenAI, made the rounds online. Alex, a sophomore at a university in Pittsburgh, started toying with the chatbot about a week after it was released, after finding out about it on Twitter. Within a couple of days, he got really excited by the quality of the writing it produced. The chatbot was good, he says—really good.

For most of my career I hive been hearing that some day computers will write all the code and human programmers will no longer be needed. Or at least, not as needed as today. Are we getting close to that time – finally? And if we are what does it mean for teaching computer science? Recently, the CS education world has been discussing GitHub Copilot.

The start of a new year is a great time to ​t​hink about the progress we have made so far this year and consider trying some different methods and tools in our classrooms. Taking time to reflect on what has worked, what we have not tried, and areas where we may be having some challenges is important. We want to continue to reflect and implement new strategies and tools that will benefit our students and transform learning.

Like educators and students across the U.S., folks here at EdSurge are enjoying a holiday (and publishing) break during the last week of 2022. But we couldn’t bear to leave you without some worthwhile reading and listening material during this wintery week, filled with short days and long nights.

In case you are not familiar with neural networks or have not used AI-based tools, you will be surprised to learn that solutions like ChatGPT tend to use the principles of transformer architecture. The core idea is an analysis of the lengthy bits of text where the system analyzes the keywords and sequences used to create a natural language flow. It also makes learning through ChatGPT and similar tools suitable for learning purposes and even works with autistic and dyslexic students who require m

I love celebrating the holidays and calendar events with my gifted students from my bilingual, Title 1 school. I ask them to make artifacts and displays that showcase both their talents and the holiday (see my blog posts about Dia de las Muertos and Pi Day for examples.) Not only are the projects fun, engaging, and exciting, they also provide opportunities for students to gain STEM/STEAM/STREAM knowledge and skills that address interdisciplinary standards.

The British Science Association & CREST Awards offer a comprehensive guide to primary CREST which maps projects with the curriculum. “Project-based activities like those offered by CREST have been a lifeline for educators. While CREST activities are often used as enrichment tools to encourage extra-curricular student engagement with STEM subjects, many directly support learning within the science.

As 2022 turns into 2023, EdSurge asked educators and education leaders to share reflections on learning “lost” and “gained.” “Do you have some examples of questions to ask students for feedback?” “What are some ways to gauge students about their sense of belonging in the course?” Faculty often ask me a version of these questions, seeking ideas about how they can informally get students’ own perspectives on their learning and experience in a college course.

Donald E. Knuth famously said "Premature optimization is the root of all evil." The important word there is “premature.” Optimization is not a bad thing. It isn’t always required though. The joke is that a programmer will spend hours coding a solution to a problem that can be solved in minutes manually. Is that a bad thing? It really depends on the circumstances.

The future is ultimately uncertain. We can never completely predict what will happen to the economy, the job market, and even society. But, there are some things that we know make sense when looking to the future. For one, if we, as a country, want to maintain our prominent role in science and technology discovery, we need to prepare adequately. Preparation lies in education.

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a teacher is building relationships. Getting to know my students beyond their academic capabilities and seeing them develop into well-rounded humans is a gift. I grew up surrounded by educators, and I always knew there was a special bond that develops between teachers and students.

Whales are some of the biggest creatures on this planet, the blue whale being the largest animal to ever exist. Another interesting feature of whales: they breathe air. This is because whales are mammals. Whales, along with dolphins, belong to a group of fully aquatic mammals called Cetacea. They live their entire lives in the water, straight from birth to death.

Finishing a college degree is hard. It’s an endurance race: It takes determination to keep going, and a belief that it will all be worth it in the end. But what if the current generation of students is just less sold on needing a college degree than their parents are? That’s the case for one family outside of Detroit. The father, Paul Carr, is 47, and he’s pushing to finish a college degree he started right after high school but stopped pursuing when he found out his then-girlfriend was pregnant
