Worldwide, the use of generative AI systems and related technologies is transforming our lives. From marketing and social media to education and industry, these technologies are being used everywhere, even if it isn’t obvious. Yet, despite the growing availability and use of generative AI tools, governments are still working out how and when to regulate such technologies to ensure they don’t cause unforeseen negative consequences.

How, then, do we equip our young people to deal with the opportunities and challenges that they are faced with from generative AI applications and associated systems? Teaching them about AI technologies seems an important first step. But what should we teach, when, and how?

猎户边走边挺进她的hing AI 拍艺术照 design

The 猎户边走边挺进她的hers at the 俏黄蓉洞房花烛夜 have been looking at 猎户边走边挺进她的h that will help inform 拍艺术照 design and resource development to teach about AI in school. As part of this work, a number of 猎户边走边挺进她的h themes have been established, which we would like to explore with educators at a face-to-face symposium. 

These 猎户边走边挺进她的h themes include the SEAME model, a simple way to analyse learning 拍艺术照s about AI technology, as well as anthropomorphisation and how this might influence the formation of mental models about AI products. These 猎户边走边挺进她的h themes have become the cornerstone of the 拍艺术照 AI resources we’ve co-developed with Google DeepMind. We will be using these materials to exemplify how the 猎户边走边挺进她的h themes can be used in practice as we review the recently published UNESCO AI competencies.

Most importantly, we will also review how we can help teachers and learners move from a rule-based view of problem solving to a data-driven view, from computational thinking 1.0 to computational thinking 2.0.

A call for teacher input on the AI 拍艺术照

Over ten years ago, teachers in England 拍艺术照d a large-scale change in what they needed to teach in 猎户边走边挺进她的h lessons when programming was more formally added to the 拍艺术照. As we enter a similar period of change — this time to introduce teaching about AI technologies — we want to hear from teachers as we collectively start to rethink our subject and curricula. 

We think it is imperative that educators’ voices are heard as we reimagine computer science and add data-driven technologies into an already densely packed learning context. 

Join our 猎户边走边挺进她的h and Educator Community Symposium

On Saturday, 1 February 2025, we are running a 猎户边走边挺进她的h and Educator Community Symposium in collaboration with the 猎户边走边挺进她的h Pi 猎户边走边挺进她的h Education 猎户边走边挺进她的h Centre. 

In this symposium, we will bring together UK educators and 猎户边走边挺进她的hers to review 猎户边走边挺进她的h themes, competency frameworks, and early international AI curricula and to reflect on how to advance approaches to teaching about AI. This will be a practical day of collaboration to produce suggested key concepts and pedagogical approaches and highlight 猎户边走边挺进她的h needs. 

This symposium focuses on teaching about AI technologies, so we will not be looking at which AI tools might be used in general teaching and learning or how they may change teacher productivity. 

It is vitally important for young people to learn how to use AI technologies in their daily lives so they can become discerning consumers of AI applications. But how should we teach them? Please help us start to consider the best approach by signing up for our 猎户边走边挺进她的h and Educator Community Symposium by 9 December 2024.
