Outline

Introduction: What is Synthetic Media? (10 mins)

We will define synthetic media with engaging examples of images, videos, and audio.
Pose the question: What are the positive implications of effective synthetic media use in the classroom? (Amplifying creativity, enhancing learning experiences)
Pose the question: What are the potential negative consequences of inappropriate synthetic media use? (Bias, misinformation, manipulation)
Define key terms: deepfakes, misinformation, disinformation, malinformation (using LLM as a media literacy teacher)
Exploring the Challenges and Impact (15 mins)

Question: Where can synthetic media pose problems in schools?
Scenario Analysis: Discuss the provided scenario or introduce a new one relevant to school leadership (e.g., deepfake of a principal/athletic director).
Broader Implications: Explore how these issues extend beyond education and into everyday life.
Pandora's Box Dilemma: Discuss the pros and cons of educating students about synthetic media.
Classroom Experiences and Strategies (20 mins)

Matt's Perspective: Matt will share experiences using AI-generated images in the classroom, emphasizing "teaching AI without teaching AI," spotting "AI weirdness," and incorporating "by the way" lessons.
Dee's Perspective: Dee will highlight his culturally responsive teaching strategies, connecting to hip-hop examples and fostering Freirean-style class debates to engage students in critical discussions about AI.
Historical Context: Discuss how data gathering has evolved over time, and AI advancements are leveraging this data in new ways (e.g., Google-411 and Google Voice).
Addressing Concerns and Finding Balance (15 mins)

Open Discussion: Address concerns like the psychological impact on students, erosion of trust, cheating, bias, disruption, energy consumption, and intellectual property rights.
