Artificial intelligence Chat GPT | Wake County teachers pioneering use of AI in the classroom [Video]

CARY, N.C. (WTVD) — When Wake County math teacher Brendan McMonigle needed a fun new way to teach his students rational functions, he didn’t print out worksheets with questions such as “What is the X-intercept?”

He turned to Chat GPT.

“I spent a lot of time engineering a prompt that they could put into chat,” McMonigle said. “And then it would have a sort of storytelling process with them where through it they learned how to solve math problems.”

McMonigle along with Spanish instructor Mindy Hope are both teachers at Wake’s Crossroads Flex High School.

“We are a very technology-heavy school,” Hope said.

They are two of the hundreds of Wake County school teachers now trained to incorporate generative artificial intelligence into the classroom.

And so, it’s pretty important for our students to know and responsibly use any form of technology, AI included,” Hope said.

Generative artificial intelligence’s relatively recent rise triggered plenty of concern among educators, including fears about cheating and plagiarism.
