Editor's Notes
- #2 Invite people to use the chat to indicate their territory
- #4 Of course AI is not new and it tracks back to the 1950’s and while for many it is 2 years old with the explosion of Chat GPT we have all been using Ai for a while. What is new is what we are seeing with Chat GPT
- #5 It does a feel a bit like we may be at the peak of “AI will do everything for us” – so we know what comes next around this
- #6 This is my view of the context of AI in BC. I have had the chance to represent BCSSA on a partner group process that led to creation of various documents. I am biassed but I think what the Ministry has created is excellent – good basic information for different levels in multiple languages. It should be linked off everyone’s website.
- #8 Option 1: Quick, Draw! (quickdraw.withgoogle.com) Start off the session with folks drawing a simple request – cat, dog, sun, etc… Share with them how the program is able to recognize and learn from large data sets This leads to the History of AI
- #9 This is my view of the context of AI in BC. I have had the chance to represent BCSSA on a partner group process that led to creation of various documents. I am biassed but I think what the Ministry has created is excellent – good basic information for different levels in multiple languages. It should be linked off everyone’s website.
- #10 https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/k-12/administration/program-management/ai-in-education
- #13 One of the first documents we created was guiding principles – a small group built it and shared it would with a larger group for feedback. We combined our District Values and our AI principles together
- #15 For yourself – plan a trip, get a recipe Professional – a lesson idea, or lesson plan, or help design an assessment With students – have them use it to have a conversation with a historical figure Independently – building their own GPTs and Chatbots
- #17 Trustees – communication, professional development, board policies, strategic plan support, scenario analysis, models Business – budget planning, vendor management, HR support, data analysis Teachers and Students – leveling content differently Parents – why it is so sticky is that parents want to learn for their own lives
