Session description
Purpose & objective
Participants will be able to design (or re-design) learning experiences for students adapted to a world where AI exists and is becoming more widespread.
Participants will consider how differing amounts of AI assistance can be available to students – and will be able to allow for that when designing lessons.
Participants will be able to clearly communicate expectations for responsible AI use with students to promote academic integrity and a culture of appropriate AI use in a learning environment.
Outline
5 minutes – Welcome, slide share link, identify the situation schools/classrooms/education is in and how the presentation will address it, presenter introduction
15 minutes – Presenters unpack a 12-point graphic showing example classroom activities on a spectrum from more AI use (top) to more human work (bottom). (Graphic: https://ditchthattextbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Classroom-AI-use-Whats-CHeating-WHats-OK-1-1-1013x570.png) In the graphic, presenters will identify a variety of activities that utilize more or less AI to complete student work – and how it promotes student thinking.
15 minutes – Participants engage in partner/small group discussion based on questions related to the graphic: “In what context would certain items in this graphic be appropriate or inappropriate?” “Where would you draw a line on the graphic to separate what’s OK and not OK in your class?” “Which of these activities do you like, and why?” Presenters then engage participants in whole-group discussion with participants, drawing out their best discussion points. (Think / Pair / Share)
10 minutes – Presenters identify the importance of and need for appropriate, flexible policy to establish appropriate use of AI in academic work. Presenters share suggestions for forming such policy for districts, schools, and individual classrooms. Participants share suggestions for such policies in a collaborative space like a Padlet wall, a FigJam board, or even a Google Form.
10 minutes – Presenters identify the rapidly changing nature of artificial intelligence and the imminent changes in the needs for human intelligence and artificial intelligence in the workforce. Presenters encourage educators to be willing to learn, to be adaptable, and to adjust their lesson plans and goals in the classroom as AI develops and workforces change their needs.
5 minutes – Answer questions. Let participants share reflections, takeaways, and additional points. Conclude.
