A green classroom used to be a classroom whose walls were green. But today’s green classrooms are “greener” than that! New ““green” classrooms help schools save money and provide clean environment where students learn better.

Many classrooms are going green by adding solar panels(太阳能电池板) to their roofs.The solar panels collect energy from the sun and use it to power lights and computers.

The panels help create at least as much electricity(电力) as the classrooms use. They can also cut down the cost of energy.

Many new ““green” classrooms are built by using recycled things.

Green schools have other new ideas. Some classrooms are painted with special paint that helps improve indoor air quality(质量). Some use windows that help keep classrooms warm in cold weather and let in lots of natural daylight. Others no longer use glue that adds chemical(化学的) smells to the air.

Experts(专家) say that green classrooms are good for education. Studies show that the environment with good air can cut colds and flu by more than 50 percent. That means fewer sick days for students and teachers. Studies have also shown that natural light and other green features(特点) improve students’ learning and marks in tests, too.

Open AI released an advanced AI chatbot named Chat GPT on November 30, 2022. It is a large language model that can be used for natural language processing tasks. It has reached 100 million users just two months after launching, causing much discussion on online platforms.

One of the key features of Chat GPT is its ability to generate human-like text responses to prompt(提示). This makes it useful for a wide range of applications, such as responding to questions in online forums(论坛), challenging incorrect premises, rejecting inappropriate request, or even creating content that is tailored to the given task. For example, GPT technology can help people write code quickly and accurately, and also help reduce the risk of errors, as it is capable of generating code that can bested and used immediately. Looking at the actual use of ChatGPT just from the standpoint of 2022, it is absolutely amazing. “ChatGPT is scary good. We are not far from dangerous strong AI”. Elon Musk tweeted.

But with such praise also came concern regarding its potential usage in academic settings. Could the chatbot inspire more student to cheat? “While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic and lifelong success,” said schools spokesperson Jenna Lyle.

When interviewed about their own limitations, this language model replied: one Limitation of large language models is that we are not capable of understanding the context or meaning of the words we generate. They can only produce text based on the probabilities of certain words or sequences of words appearing together, based on the training data we’ve been given, and the data was only updated to 2021.This means that we can’t provide explanations or reasoning for our responses, and we may not always generate responses.

Technology has changed almost every way of our life and now it seems to be the time to update education systems around the world. Children and young adults make up one-third of the Internet users, so it’s no surprise that they are more hyper-connected (超连接的) than their parents.

In a survey of 1,400 educators, most of them believe that classrooms of the future will be centered on personalized learning. This student-centered way will allow children to choose their own pace (节奏) and learning goals based on personal interests, all of which can be guided by artificial intelligence (AI), chatting robots (chatbots) and video-based learning.

AI in education specially focuses on telling what a student does or doesn’t know, and then develops personalized courses for each student. Chatbots are also quickly becoming a key tool in the next generation education. Designed to simplify the exchange of ideas and information between students and computers, chatbots provide a lot of benefits. Although video-based learning may not necessarily be considered as creative as AI or chatbots, 98% of the educators view it as an important part of personalized learning experiences. Some schools report bringing video teaching into their courses in some way, but even higher demand for video-based learning may come from students in the near future.

The new classroom learning style is completely different from the traditional learning style and is considered to be a great change in how students get information. However, research has shown that children will keep getting information from books besides screens. Obviously, low-tech schools are more likely to believe that human interaction is important when it comes to keeping children interested and excited to learn.

Although we may not be in the age of online teachers, the benefits of technology as a teaching aid are true. However, what’s more important is that these aids are helping keep students rather than technology at the heart of education.
