Discover the groundbreaking world of artificial intelligence (AI) and its transformative potential in education with our foundational online learning series for teachers.
This document gives you all of the AI tools we discuss in our UCET 2024 presentation and possible applications for those tools. There is also a link to our slideshow presentation at the top of the document.
In a world filled with more content than we could ever possibly consume, recommendation algorithms have long been a necessary part of the internet. This type of AI helps determine what we see (and don't see) online. But while that can be helpful, these algorithms can have unintended consequences, like creating filter bubbles, perpetuating bias, and undermining our creativity, choices, and opportunities. Use this lesson to help your students think critically about how AI is shaping their experiences online in both helpful and harmful ways.
Recent advancements in artificial intelligence are making chatbot technology more helpful (and clever), while at the same time, it's becoming harder to tell if we're talking to a person or a robot. In this lesson, students will explore how and why AI chatbots are designed to sound so human-like, which will help them think critically about why this can be both helpful and harmful.
Over time, technology has influenced how we build and maintain friendships. And with recent developments in AI technology, we now have generative AI chatbots that can conduct what feels like a very real conversation. While this can be entertaining and helpful, it can also cause people to develop emotional connections with chatbots. But is this OK? In this lesson, students will grapple with this question, reflecting upon what makes human friendships special and unique.
This resource includes a set of activities, teacher guides, assessments, materials, and more to assist educators in teaching about the ethics of artificial intelligence. These activities were developed at the MIT Media Lab to meet a growing need for children to understand artificial intelligence, its impact on society, and how they might shape the future of AI.
This curriculum was designed and tested for middle school students (approximately grades 5th-8th). Most activities are unplugged and only require the materials included in this document, although unplugged modifications are suggested for the activities which require computer access.
This toolkit is designed to help education authorities, school leaders, and teachers create thoughtful guidance to help their communities realize the potential benefits of incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) in primary and secondary education while understanding and mitigating the potential risks.
Navigating AI can be overwhelming. Media reporting on AI is often dramatized and incorrect. Even respectable publications can misrepresent the power or promise of AI.
This guide is meant to provide an introduction to the current AI tools that are relevant for use in educational settings, and to demystify some of the hype surrounding AI. It will help you consider whether you might integrate AI into your teaching, and how to do so responsibly.
Don’t underestimate your capacity to understand AI concepts and bring value to these conversations. Now more than ever, the world needs insights from those in the humanities and the arts. You don’t need to know everything about AI to consider how AI tools might be thought-provoking, beneficial, or detrimental in your classroom.
AI and education are not just topics for industry. The education system should be prepared to identify how best to make use of AI in the classroom, reassure teachers, make them responsible users and start an effective teacher-training program. The goal of this textbook is to give teachers the knowledge necessary for deciding if, where and how AI can help.
• How can artificial intelligence impact learning and teaching in my classroom?
• Can it help me do what I want to do with my students?
• How can it change the dynamics and interactions I have with my students?
• How do I even know when it is being used correctly or incorrectly?
• And, what should I be aware of if I want to put it to good use?

In Assisted Melody, users are given a digital keyboard where they can select notes and then using the Harmonize button, your notes will be combined with the works of great composers like Mozart, Back, and Beethoven. Users can also change the instrument and tempo to hear different styles of music.
Stephanie Howell posted this a few weeks ago and I thought, "What a great way to connect with students at the beginning of the year and then throughout the year!" Using her template, a Google add-on called Autocrat, and her video tutorial, you can set up a Google Form/Sheet to automatically send students a digital birthday card throughout the year. It takes about 20 minutes to set up but then it runs automatically throughout the year!
