OMAHA, Neb. — Hundreds of teachers will report back to school next week in order to get their classrooms ready.
This year, instructors at Westside will focus on using artificial intelligence in their curriculum, which helps productivity and helps students and teachers be more efficient.
“It’s like having a partner by their side that helps them do administrative or procedural tasks,” said Matt Lee, director of technology at Westside Community Schools.
He said more Westside High and middle school teachers are turning to AI to help them teach.
“It frees them up to then use their time to do more student engagement, do creative thinking and lesson planning,” Lee said.
However, Lee said AI is not a way to cut corners, but a way to connect.
