Having Perplexity rewrite a bilingual passage all in English: GOOD JOB DONE

 ORIGINAL PASSAGE:

今天的AI for Educators的平台,例如MagicSchool, Eduaide, Brisk Teaching, QuestionWell, Diffit ....由unit plan, lesson plan, reading passage, comprehension questions, youtube summary, assessment rubric ......以至沒有想到的teaching and learning resources和功能,都可以輕鬆的代勞。今天對教師的挑戰不是如何使用這些平台,而是記著它們超多的功能,有需要時能記起有那個功能可以使用。
作為teacher educator, 我有時也會想: AI 的發展會不會令教師deskilled, 例如怎樣設計一課,例如怎樣寫有意義的MC questions, 例如怎樣就學生的writing 给予feedback .......這一切一切,AI 都會比我們做得更快,甚至更好!
但另一方面,隨著時代進展,會否有一些我們曾經認為重要的teacher skill會變得無關重要?我們從事教學法的,將來教甚麼?甚至將來的teacher education,應該教甚麼?



PROMPT:

The following passage is partly in Chinese, and partly in English. Please re-write it so that it is all in English.

(pasted original passage)


RESULT: 

Today's AI platforms for educators, such as MagicSchool, Eduaide, Brisk Teaching, QuestionWell, Diffit, and others, can easily handle everything from unit plans, lesson plans, reading passages, comprehension questions, YouTube summaries, assessment rubrics, to even teaching and learning resources and functions we haven't yet imagined. The challenge for teachers today is not how to use these platforms, but rather to remember their numerous features and to recall which function to use when needed.

As a teacher educator, I sometimes wonder: will the development of AI lead to teachers becoming deskilled? For example, how to design a lesson, how to write meaningful multiple-choice questions, or how to provide feedback on students' writing — AI can do all of these tasks faster and sometimes even better than we can!

On the other hand, as times progress, will some teacher skills that we once considered important become irrelevant? For those of us involved in pedagogy, what will we teach in the future? Even more, what should future teacher education focus on?
