Grupo de discusión sobre IA

While many are concerned that AI (artificial intelligence) is disrupting industries, some of us teachers are embracing it and all the possibilities that come with this emerging technology. When utilized correctly, it can amplify learning and productivity, even on a daily basis. For instance, personalized assistants, generative imagery, and even fact-checking are just a few of the revolutionary uses made possible. 

As the young generation is met with endless possibilities, we must approach this tech responsibly. This class will teach students about AI capabilities from a lens promoting credibility. Some subjects we will talk about include technology, art, robotics, news, education, debate topics, and so much more (since this is an ongoing discussion group). From these various topics, we will learn how to interact with AI, vet information, and get the most out of smart tools without compromising the ability to think for ourselves. 

Here is a basic roadmap and structure for each class:
• Warm-up
• Topic of Discussion
• Independent / Group Activity
• Time to ask AI 
• Conclusion (extend)

Since this class is designed for proficient to advanced elementary / middle school students optimal class size is generally six (6) learners, but it can accommodate more. The topics and themes may also be adjusted to students who may be intermediate level. This enrichment course/club will meet once a week, every week. Here is a tentative, example list of topics and themes per session:

• Week of July 8th, 2024: "What are new careers for younger generations?"

• Week of July 15th, 2024: "Where are the optimal destinations for family vacations?" 

• Week of July 22nd, 2024: "Which foods have the highest nutritional value?"  

• Week of July 29th, 2024: "How can we preserve nature?"
