Artificial Intelligence in Education: What Do We Need to Know?

Purpose & objective

The purpose is to provide an introduction to the definitions of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning and to discuss the implications for the future of education and work. We will look at quick ways to get started with using these technologies in the classroom and their benefits of creating more engaging learning experiences for students. Deeper and authentic learning will be fostered when students learn to interact with Artificial Intelligence in the classroom.
We will explore ideas for how to use artificial Intelligence in the classroom, and how it can help students to learn in a new, more interactive way, leading to authentic, deeper learning. Students interacting in unique ways that can help to increase engagement in learning as well as spark curiosity and bring learning to life which promotes real world learning.
For anyone looking to start using these tools in the classroom, I will share steps, and hope that it can help make implementation easier for others.
I

Through the use of AI in the classroom, I will discuss different ways that students have perceived this emerging technology in a positive outlook, since they learned different ways to obtain information and gained ideas on how to leverage this technology.
The goal is to share content, including sample projects and resources, so that attendees can really walk away with a lot of new ideas to get started. Discussion of AI and tools to explore with students including AI World School, Rex Academy, MIT App Inventor, Google AI Experiments and the ISTE U Course and AI Curriculum guides.

Outline

The session will focus on Artificial Intelligence and how to get started with teaching about AI and resources to explore. A brief overview of what AI is, resources to introduce to students, some key facts about the use of AI in our lives and activities and courses to explore.
Audience is encouraged to explore some of the sites mentioned and try some of the activities using machine learning and AI.
