The Use of AI in the Classroom: Insights from Teachers

The Growing Use of AI Tools in K-12 Classrooms

It’s been a year since ChatGPT—an AI-powered tool that can seemingly answer any prompt—burst onto the K-12 scene, and teachers are slowly embracing the tool and others like it^[1]. According to a recent survey conducted by the EdWeek Research Center, one-third of K-12 teachers have used artificial intelligence (AI)-driven tools in their classrooms^[1]. While 21 percent of those teachers said they’ve used these tools a little, 10 percent said they’ve used them some, and 2 percent said they’ve used them a lot^[1]. This data indicates a growing interest in AI tools among educators and highlights the potential impact of this technology in K-12 education.
