In a recent edWebinar hosted by edWeb, a panel of high school seniors from Livingston High School (NJ), each with different career aspirations, discussed the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in education and their future. Ella, Ashley, Oishik, and Parker offered unique insights into how AI has influenced their academic lives and shaped their views on their prospective fields. The panel was moderated by Robert Rolling, Livingston’s PreK-12 Supervisor of Business, Technology, and Engineering and a leader in the district’s AI policy and curriculum development, who gave an overview of the Livingston Schools District’s approach to managing AI.
According to our nation’s students, the value of using technology for learning is clear—when used effectively, it helps them develop the skills they need for future success. Less than one-third of students say they have regular access to interactive technologies such as virtual labs, multimedia tools, augmented reality, coding resources, and AI tools that foster critical thinking, creativity, and problem solving. Students report that their best use of digital resources for learning happens on their own time, outside of school, most often through their smartphones.
