However, many feel such claims are not trustworthy.Kentaro Toyama, a professor at the University of Michigan School of Information, is one of those doubtful about the idea of using AI in the classroom.Toyama mentioned a si
20、tuation he came across while working in an aftcr-school program in digital literacy. He said,“In trying to teach students to use technology, the greatest difficulty in their learning was the technology itself. As soon as he looked away from the students, they would “very quickly find the most fiin g
21、ames they could find on the computer and start playing them”, That suggests the problem with putting too much faith in AI fbr teaching. “There is great potential fbr it to be a distraction,he said.Toyama once surveyed a large group of people about their preference for the following educational scena

42、ars of digitization and remote work have not provided clear evidence of a productivity boom. Yet there are reasons still to be techno-optimistic.

48、of co vid.The bubble may have burst on the pandemics darlings, but the drumbeat of digitization continues.
