Is AI in Education Cheating? I had the pleasure of joining the 3Ps in a Pod podcast from the Arizona Institute for Education and the Economy at Northern Arizona University and the Arizona K12 Center. I sat down with hosts Dr. Chad Gestson and LeeAnn Lindsey, Ed.D. to dive into a hot topic: "Is AI cheating?" Instead of just focusing on plagiarism, we discussed how AI can actually transform education. This conversation gave us a chance to rethink the true purpose of education and how we evaluate learning. We talked about the importance of agency and autonomy in the learning process. In today's world, where information is at our fingertips, it's crucial to help students develop critical thinking skills and a genuine passion for knowledge.
