When Should Students Use Artificial Intelligence? Seven Keys to Consider - John Spencer @spencerideas  #aieducation #airoadmap | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
The explosion of generative AI has created significant challenges and sparked new opportunities for our students. So, how do we decide when students should and should not use AI? In this article and podcast, I explore seven key areas you might consider as you craft the policies and design the systems within your school.
Nermin Ciloglu Cakmakci's curator insight, February 8, 3:52 PM
Great view! I read, watched, and listened to the article with pleasure. I like the cover photo! AI is developing surprisingly quickly and is included in children's lives.

The Cell Phone Debate – Kirsten Thompson @MissLwbt

The Cell Phone Debate – Kirsten Thompson @MissLwbt | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
We’re 17 years out from the release of that first iPhone, nearly two decades have passed, and educators are still trying to communicate the role that these tools can play in their programming.

So let’s try and break down the available information to help us make an informed decision. If you have been following me for any length of time you will know that one of my approaches to education is that “there is not one way to incorporate educational technology”. You will not leave this blog post with an absolute answer of, “yes, students have a right to unrestricted access to a smartphone”, or, “no, smartphones should be banned during school hours”. These types of absolutes do not exist in society and, at best, we are faced with an endless sea of grey situations; neither black nor white and dependent on the unique context in front of us. What I do hope you leave with is a summary of resources that can help you make an informed decision on what role cell phones can play in your situation.

AI isn’t just robots: How to talk to young children about AI - Rasberry Pi Foundation

AI isn’t just robots: How to talk to young children about AI - Rasberry Pi Foundation | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
Absorbing media and assimilating it into your existing knowledge is a challenge, and this is a concern when the media is full of big, scary headlines about artificial intelligence (AI) taking over the world, stealing jobs, and being sentient. As teachers and parents, you don’t need to know all the details about AI to answer young people’s questions, but you can avoid accidentally introducing alternate conceptions. This article offers some top tips to help you point those inquisitive minds in the right direction.
Samantha Alanís's curator insight, January 29, 4:39 PM

Absolutely! One way to talk to young children about AI is to compare AI to things they are familiar with, like a smart assistant on a device... focus on how AI can be helpful, like in video games, voice assistants, or learning apps... however, it is fundamental to clarity that AI does NOT have feelings, thoughts or creativity, it ONLY follows instructions based on specific data.

The 10 Most Significant Education Studies of 2023 - Edutopia

The 10 Most Significant Education Studies of 2023 - Edutopia | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
For those of us hoping for a quiet, back-to-normal kind of year, the research coming out of 2023 might disappoint. A rising tide of teenage mental health issues sent researchers scurrying for answers, and the sudden ascendance of AI posed a new threat to codes of academic conduct and caused some educators to forecast the end of teaching as we know it (we’re here to dispel that myth).

There was plenty of good news in the mix—and fascinating news, too. Neuroscientists continued to push the envelope on mapping the human brain, using cutting-edge technology to get a sneak peek at the “brain synchrony” between students and teachers as they learn about complex topics, and a comprehensive review of social and emotional learning confirmed, once again, that there’s no substitute for caring, welcoming school environments.

Finally, we did our due diligence and unearthed classroom strategies that can make a big difference for students, from the use of math picture books to a better, more humane way to incorporate tests and games of knowledge into your classroom activities.

10 AI Skillsets for the Digital Native Educator - The Journal

10 AI Skillsets for the Digital Native Educator - The Journal | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been around for decades; however, with the introduction of generative AI, such as ChatGPT, there has been a newfound focus on how technology tools can impact the educational landscape. The AI revolution in industry is upon us and is beginning to establish itself as a permanent part of educational practice as evidenced by Lucarillo, Nagel, Hardman, and others. Therefore, it is crucial to equip teachers with the skills to use AI in ways that ensure a high-quality education for the students in classrooms across the globe.

The urgency to upskill teachers is highlighted by the gap in skills that already exists in classrooms today, underscoring the digital divide. Just as in any content area, students come to classrooms with varying readiness levels and educational needs; using AI is no different. For example, there are preschoolers who play games on an iPad with empowered intelligent tutors. My prereading granddaughter uses AI predictive text programs, dictation technology, and iconography to text me from her mother's phone and to locate videos and programs she wants to watch. Some children, like her, have access, while there are many others who have no exposure or use of AI. Educators are encountering students at different AI literacy levels, and this divide will continue to grow. Therefore, teachers need to build the skillsets to increase their AI literacy and integration to develop more digital equity, serving students who are at a low readiness level, as well as those who are using AI as a writing partner.

La diversidad en cuanto a la exposición y uso de la IA entre el alumnado y su creciente influencia en el contexto educativo deja ver la brecha digital que hay en las aulas. De ahí la importancia de la alfabetización en este recurso digital y la capacitación de los docentes para conseguir incluir esta herramienta en la enseñanza.

Issue 22 | Hello World

Issue 22 | Hello World | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it

Recent developments in artificial intelligence are changing how the world sees computing and challenging computing educators to rethink their approach to teaching. In this issue of Hello World, we tackle the big questions about AI and computing education, such as what AI literacy is and how we teach it. Our writers explore a range of topics including gender bias in AI and what we can do about it; how to speak to young children about AI; and why anthropomorphism hinders learners' understanding of AI. Our feature articles also include a research digest on AI ethics for children, and of course practical examples of how you can incorporate AI lessons in your classroom. 

 

AI is a topic we’ve addressed before in Hello World, and we'll keep covering this rapidly evolving field in future.

 

Hello World issue 22 is a comprehensive snapshot of the current landscape of AI education.

Our devices can be anything we want them to be. If we want them to be beguiling, and dangerous, they will end up as bogeymen. But we deserve better, as do our children. The solution to mental illness and a fraying social fabric will not be impractical, hobbled devices, or “unplugged” vacations that only the rich can afford. It will begin with a new, rational, national discussion of the way we live now, and the way we want to live, devices and all.

Setting School Policies for AI Use - Edutopia - Dr. Catlin Tucker @Catlin_Tucker | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
Leading in an era of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI) requires that leaders articulate a clear vision, build consensus around it, communicate effectively with the school community, and allocate support and resources for their policies. 

This is no small challenge: As school leaders, you must pave a path forward in uncharted educational terrain and make decisions that will impact the role of AI in schools. Doing so requires consideration of the following questions: How can AI help schools embrace innovative instructional practices? What policies and supports are required to ensure responsible use of AI? How do we communicate AI policies to staff, students, and families to foster understanding?

Paige Galloway's curator insight, January 30, 3:42 PM
The article shares how social media can be used as a source of inspiration rather than a distraction for students in the classroom. The author offers 12 creative ideas for incorporating social media into student learning experiences, such as creating historical figure Instagram posts, writing short poems to fit within character constraints (like X (Twitter) and Instagram), and making animated videos. These activities aim to enhance student engagement, foster creativity, and provide real-world context to assignments/lessons. The author emphasizes that integrating social media doesn't replace traditional teaching methods but, instead, adds a new dimension to education. Additionally, the article encourages teachers to experiment with these ideas and share their experiences on social media.

A new law requires K-12 schools to add media literacy to curriculum for English language arts, science, math and history-social studies.

 

"Media literacy can help change that, advocates believe, by teaching students how to recognize reliable news sources and the crucial role that media plays in a democracy. "

 

“The increase in Holocaust denial, climate change denial, conspiracy theories getting a foothold, and now AI … all this shows how important media literacy is for our democracy right now,” said Jennifer Ormsby, library services manager for the Los Angeles County Office of Education. “The 2016 election was a real eye-opener for everyone on the potential harms and dangers of fake news.”
