Overview
For many, artificial intelligence, or AI, may seem like science fiction, or inherently overwhelming. The reality is that AI is already being applied in industry and, for many of us, in our daily lives as well. A better understanding of AI can help you make informed decisions in the classroom that will impact the future of your students.
Drawing from a broad variety of expert voices from countries including Australia, Japan, and South Africa, as well as educators from around the world and underrepresented student voices, this book explores some of the ways AI can improve education. These include educating learners about AI, teaching them about living in a world where they will be surrounded by AI and helping educators understand how they can use AI to augment human ability.
Each chapter offers activities and questions to help you deepen your understanding, try out new concepts and reflect on the information presented. Links to media artifacts from trusted sources will help make your learning experience more dynamic while also providing additional resources to use in your classroom.
This book:
- Offers a unique approach to the topic, with chapter opening scenes, case studies, and featured student voices.
- Discusses a variety of ways to teach students about AI, through design thinking, project-based learning and STEM connections.
- Includes lesson ideas, activities and tools for exploring AI with your students.
- Includes references to films and other media you can use in class to start discussions on AI or inspire design thinking and STEM projects.
In Teaching AI, you’ll learn what AI is, how it works and how to use it to better prepare students in a world with increased human-computer interaction.
Audience: K-12 educators, tech coordinators, teacher educators
