Rodney Sharp Chair and professor in the SOE and the Departments of Psychological and Brain Sciences and Linguistics and Cognitive Science, Amanda Delgado, Ph.D. in Education student in the SOE, and Kathy Hirsh-Pasek of Temple University offer new ways to think about the affordances and challenges of ChatGPT in education.
