Abstract:

The challenges of AI to teachers are of course unprecedented, and unbeatable. If Tittytainment is designed to distract the young minds from hard work, AI allows them to believe that hard work is no longer necessary. We are fighting for the attention of students fully occupied with all kinds of AI powered tittytainment, in a futile way, in the classroom. Many of you may feel the same way I do: a strong sense of hopelessness, helplessness, and wasting of time. How can we attract attention of students back to academic inquiries and fascination, literary expression and articulation, cultural jewelries and celebration, to where learning can be learned? This sharing may not be able to provide an answer. All I can do is to review the different phases of my teaching years and various approaches derived from the educational and psychological theories that we learn along the way, and describe my recent attempts to reach the young souls of the few listeners in the classroom.

Light refreshment will be provided.
