Playlab AI

It’s a wrap! Thank you to the over 250 friends who joined us Saturday for our AI+Education 2.0!! Special Thank you to our partners, XQ and Betaworks for making this FREE day of learning possible—and shoutout to the high schoolers, higher ed students, and educators who spend their Saturday with us building community around creative, learner-centered uses of AI. We loved learning with you!🙏🙏❤️ We learned lots of cool tricks with new AI products that will save teachers and students precious time— and that will augment deeper learning experiences for learners of all ages. We had a rich mix EdTech companies and organizations in the house— from nonprofits like Playlab AI and Ed3 DAO to startups like ESAI to giant tech innovators like Google and Adobe. It’s the mesh of people and organizations gathered for common purpose that makes this Symposium magic.✨✨ Stay tuned for videos and photos from our Symposium that will post and share openly on our Website over the next week.

I love this example of Playlab AI’s impact on education in challenging environments: Emmanuel Kimuli, lead teacher at Uganda’s largest refugee school, uses Playlab daily to create AI tools. These empower his staff to deliver concrete learning experiences for South Sudanese and Congolese refugee students. I am proud to be part of a team that puts transformative technology directly into the hands of people who can best leverage it to open doors and create opportunities for those who need it most. If you are also excited about building tech for good, we are hiring! https://lnkd.in/gCa5c6Bs

If you're at NYC EDTECH WEEK, don't miss this next session coming up at 3:00PM in Civic Hall, 3rd Floor Conference B! Join Malika Ali Adrian Antao Wyman Khuu Candace Sharrow & Varuni Tiruchelvam for #AI for Educators by Educators: Enhancing Learning with Responsible AI Integration. Hear how school systems, & organizations like Throughline Learning (formerly Highlander Institute), & Playlab AI are thinking critically about ethics, bias, personalization, and student/teacher needs when it comes to #AI! 💡 🎤 https://lnkd.in/exqAzWJk

Open source AI tools offer new possibilities for how we teach and learn, but new learning for educators will be key to effective and student-centered adoption. According to a survey by Educators for Excellence, only 14% of teachers currently feel confident with AI, while 58% are looking for more training, particularly in lesson planning and differentiated instruction. Our recent AI Design Sprint with Playlab AI brought together more than 100 educators, students, district leaders, peer organizations, and philanthropic support organizations to explore how AI can reinforce and elevate the uniquely human aspects of teaching.

💡 What if you let AI help you transform education? 💡 Register for Alumni Academy today and find out! https://lnkd.in/eyS-suxb If you're an educator looking to gain hands-on experience with AI, join Wyman Khuu (NY '14), Chief Learning Engineer at Playlab AI, and Mike Yates, Senior Managing Director for New Product Design at The Reinvention Lab at Teach For America for their Alumni Academy workshop on Tuesday, August 6th.

Partnering with Playlab AI has opened up a world of possibilities for us! We're prototyping AI tools that could revolutionize our work in education. We envision AI tools supporting students through personalized learning, adaptive tutoring, and automated feedback, ultimately empowering them to reach their full potential. We also believe AI can aid educators in efficient and innovative ways. A big thanks to Yusuf Ahmad, co-founder of Playlab, for leading our team in exploring these amazing opportunities for Distinctive Schools to develop our own chatbots. 🤖

Have you heard of Playlab AI? If not, you have to check it out. I love their focus on building tools for educators that allow for the responsible use of AI! It allowed me to build two AI chatbots tailored to specific needs in minutes. I can’t wait to work on it more to fine-tune and test those tools!

Have you ever unpacked state learning standards? There are many steps to the process that might look something like this: research, research, coffee break, a little confusion and frustration, research, then you run out of time, and months go by and you realize, "Oh, I need to finish unpacking those standards". Then back to square one. Maybe that's just my experience. Unpacking standards, although taxing, is a cornerstone in a viable and guaranteed curriculum. I visit my standards every year, every unit, and very often before I start planning lessons, activities, and assessments. They are where I start and where I end. At a recent staff meeting, my group was tasked with summarizing a chapter of a book we read as a school this year. Our chapter was all about setting learning expectations, unpacking standards, and communicating them with other educators to reduce "curriculum chaos". But sometimes, unpacking those standards is chaos itself. I wanted my colleagues to leave with something actionable from our presentation, so I created a chatbot in Playlab AI in about 20 minutes to help teachers unpack their standards. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gH4sE3br The prompt will need iteration, but it reduces months of research into minutes. I look forward to your feedback.
