- #2 Click the links to quickly move to another section of the slide deck. This only works in Slideshow mode!
- #3 “In this section we will learn about AI, including how it intersects with education.”
- #4 “You’re already using AI! Here are some examples. Have you noticed that your phone’s camera is much better than the old point and shoots? That’s because AI helps you autofocus and adjust to low light or motion. Have you received a fraud alert from your credit card? That is an AI algorithm that noticed a different pattern to your spending and sent you a warning. Have you spoken to your phone and had it write a text? Text to speech is AI - it can understand people from different languages and translate as well. If you’ve ever made a map on your phone and had it warn you of traffic or give you a different route if you’re walking instead of driving, that’s AI doing the route planning and real time data updates to make sure you arrive quickly. It’s in our industries, and it’s part of our communities, like when your insurance rates are calculated or Amazon gets your package delivered within hours. It’s NOT sci-fi movies or only for people living in tech-heavy cities. It will definitely be a part of our students’ future work life. That is why we need to teach with and about AI. Just like computers or the internet, it is not going away.”
- #5 “Education with AI can be exciting! And, some of our tools are already using it for personalized learning. With professional development, our teachers can increase engagement, offer more tailored differentiation in less time, move seamlessly between paper based and digital learning with handwriting detection, automate rote tasks like attendance and send regular parent communications, and identify students who need extra support through data, such as supporting identification of gifted and talented students. We are not trying to replace teachers, who are essential for human connection and motivation. And AI won’t solve every problem in our school. But, it can help support learning and ensure our students are prepared for this digital age.”
- #6 “AI literacy is the collection of skills that a person needs to understand, use and critically evaluate artificial intelligence. AI literacy ensures that students know how to use AI through applications as well as the fundamentals of how it works through computer science. Let’s take a look at these I CAN statements related to student outcomes.” “Are these goals are already in line with current student outcomes that we have in place?”
- #7 The four images on this slide were created from Bing Chat, a generative AI that creates images based on text descriptions called prompts. Activity: Make images from prompts. https://www.bing.com/images/create?FORM=GENILP “Generative AI professional example for a slide deck presentation” prompt. Bing Chat, Microsoft, 3 Oct. 2023.
- #10 “With guidance, an education system may realize the potential benefits of AI to improve learning outcomes, support teacher instruction and quality of life, and enhance educational equity. Without guidance, teachers and students can be exposed to privacy violations, inconsistent disciplinary consequences, and counterproductive AI adoption practices.”
- #22 “Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia have created a definition of an AI Ready student and core competencies for all learners in K-12. (Link to the larger document will be provided in the final draft.) How might we think about our digital initiatives in this holistic way, not adding another thing but ensuring access for all students and transforming our learning to include AI for this digital generation of learners?”
- #24 Data Storyline: Lack of policy or guidance. People/educators want policy or guidance. People/educators are concerned about AI in the classroom. Who is using AI? How are people using AI? What are the benefits of AI in the classroom? How is AI being used today? What does the future look like with AI?
- #25 Highlight: Lack of specific AI guidance use in the classroom is a widespread problem. Remarkably, a mere 5% of educational institutions possess ‘pointed guidance’ concerning the use of generative AI applications. ‘Pointed guidance’ means specific instructions where everything is not left up to teacher’s discretion.
