In the education community a lot of talk has been happening about ChatGPT and the disruption that AI is going to have on the way teachers and students do things. I think this method is a great way to curb the use of tools like that for less than honest intentions. Requiring the students to talk about a conversation or reading that happened apart from information that is available on the Internet is a great idea. Additionally, the personal pieces that students impart in their answers can not be duplicated (yet). I remember attending a conference and one of the main speakers said if you learn at least three new things today then you should consider it a success.

I've been working on a piece on conscientious use of ChatGPT in the classroom and I love the point you've made here about how we have to continuously adapt our teaching.
When I present at conferences and workshops one of my objectives is to pack enough that's unique and thoughtful that everyone can leave with at least one things they'd try tomorrow that they either hadn't heard before or they had forgotten about and want to try
That is pretty cool. Yeah, I read an article a while ago that pretty much implied that good teachers shouldn't have an issue with ChatGPT in their classrooms, but the teachers who refuse to change their teaching style and just keep using the same worksheets and methods from decades ago will likely struggle. @cryptictruth is a fellow Michigander who recently did a post on ChatGPT and the use of AI in blogging here on Hive.
Education has always interested me and that might because a lot of my family are educators so we talk about the state and history of the field. I have been even more interested in how technology is changing the class room. The point around how good educators will embrace these new technologies to help better educate is the best case. I think there will be growing pain integrating lesson plans, cheating mitigation, and curriculum that is more integrated. I know that change can be hard and there's some red tape in our educational systems. I know that has gotten even harder with the politicalization of the education system so I can only wait to see what actually happens. The 3-2-1 method is a great first step since it makes people think outside the box vs. just stating facts.
