From Planning to Practice: Evaluating AI Tools for Educators through a Pedagogical Lens

Abstract

Adopting AI in teaching and learning is not a simple task; rather, it needs an intentional design and requires a step-by-step process for supporting learners, including multilingual learners. This paper will share how educators can use AI tools such as ChatGPT for their teaching by using custom GPTs. This includes various types of custom GPTs for educators on how to create custom GPTs purposefully and how to teach with those custom GPTs. This paper also shares a teaching AI framework, AAER: Accessibility, Acceptance, Exploration, and Reflection phases, through three different stages: technological readiness, emotional readiness, and pedagogical readiness.
