Like the professional capacity. It's not a skill, not a technical skill. And this is the difference between a teacher who uses AI or who can use AI and a teacher who is used by AI. And so, lastly, and I want to really latch onto this concept: is this notion of presence.
When I walk into a classroom and I see all my students sitting in front of me, all 250 of them, yeah, I through I have to be present to see who they are, to you know to understand who they are. And when I walk into that space, presence becomes the capacity to remain fully human and so and so.
This is important because this is the one competency that AI or a robot will never have. They will never possess their competency. And therefore, the one key element that we need to protect is presence, right? And literacy and judgment will make you a good teacher who uses AI well. But peasants will make you a great.
teacher yeah and that's just for me so so if we train teachers mainly uh you know in terms of how to operate the software or how to operate these tools or how to operate these robots we will have produced technicians and we will lose great teachers yeah yeah and so if we form their judgment and protect their presence the tools take care of themselves
