ChatGPT in the classroom: Why some Canadian teachers, professors are embracing AI

In December, Brendan Benson started noticing his Grade 12 students were handing in essays that looked the same.

Benson said he saw an opportunity to work with ChatGPT and encourage critical thinking among students, who he believed could do better than AI. Pennefather, an assistant professor in the department of theatre and film, had students use ChatGPT to help write a scene in which Macbeth, Portia, Othello and Shylock _ characters from three different Shakespeare plays – all meet.“I encourage my students to try to go and play creatively with these generators to see how they can get them to create content they are curious about. So, Shakespeare is a perfect example,” said Pennefather.

Garth Nichols, vice-principal of Havergal College, a Toronto-based independent girls school from kindergarten to Grade 12, wants students to understand the significance of intellectual property as AI becomes a part of learning. He said the goal is to introduce AI chatbot assistance in kindergarten to Grade 12 classes in the coming months.How ChatGPT is impacting learning

Jeff Spence, a speaker on the podcast and district principal of information technology at the school board, said he had encouraged teachers to test ChatGPT out.“I think the most important thing with any new technology is to not be afraid of it and to not hide from it, but learn about it and to go and try it out,” said Spence. “I am very excited about all new technologies and how we can use them and especially how students learn better.
