Summary: Two students were absent today due to illness. I hope you get better soon. —> Your homework is to watch and take notes on David Kelly’s TED Talk. If you would like a print of the video script, it is in a box on my office door on the 2nd floor of the Kyoikukikotou near the ERC.

First, we watched Po-Shen Loh’s video on how he creatively solves challenges to learning through observation and discovery by meeting people where they are and innovating at scale. Then we had a super interesting talk about the creativity courses we have experienced in general, what makes this class different, and Po-Shen Loh’s talk. The takeaway seemed to be that we should meet people where they are to solve problems in education, particularly in various countries. Additionally, it highlighted the value of ChatGPT and AI as tools, but also emphasized that they can be incorrect, so we need to think outside the box and recognize our own value as humans in solving problems. Thus, the quotation was smartly noted by the student who came to class:

“The new world of AI is going to be the wild wild west….The people who are going to be the most successful are going to be the ones that are very good at creating value.” -Po-Shen Loh
