Strategies for Effective Use of AI as a Geoscience Educator
Much attention has been focused on the use of generative AI by students. As an educator, one of the best ways to build the foundational knowledge you need to give students informed guidance is to understand how to use it effectively, and when to avoid it, in your own work.

Generative AI Basics - Part 1
Sean Fox, Carleton College
This content page, part of the GeoAI Insights mini-collection, explains the foundational mechanics of large language models (LLMs) in generative AI, detailing how text is converted into tokens, how models predict next tokens using mathematical operations and trained parameters, and how emergent linguistic capabilities arise from iterative training on vast datasets, aiming to equip geoscience and STEM educators with a conceptual understanding of AI functionality. auto-generated The author of this page didn't provide a brief description so this one sentence summary was created by an AI tool.
