Chatting with Claude, Teaching with Llama: Generative AI's Role in Shaping Tomorrow's Classrooms with David Riegert Online
Part of Trent University's AI Hopes and Fears Speaker Series.
In the current age of generative AI, the landscape of teaching and learning is evolving faster than ever. While some see AI as a disruptor, others view it as a powerful ally. The reality, as always, lies in how these tools are used. In this talk, Dave Riegert will share practical approaches for integrating generative AI - like ChatGPT, Claude, and more - into lesson planning, assignment creation, and day-to-day teaching. He will also discuss how he has been guiding students to use these tools effectively, balancing innovation with responsible application. Expect insights into both successes and challenges on the path to enhancing education with AI.
Dave Riegert is a statistics lecturer at Trent University and (indefinitely) in the final year of his PhD at Queen's University. His research dives into statistical signal processing, applying Fourier analysis to uncover the connections between solar wind, Earth's geomagnetic field, and the induced currents that affect power lines and the Earth's crust. If you've ever read something like this Scientific American article on solar flares, you're in his research ballpark. An early tech adopter with a self-confessed 'gadget problem,' Dave has explored cloud-based language models from their early days and spent the last year also tinkering with local models that can run on consumer desktop computers.
