| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to AI | 10 | Brief overview of AI, its role in education, and engaging students with questions about their experiences. |
| 2 | Ethical Considerations | 10 | Discuss ethical dilemmas related to AI in learning, focusing on privacy, bias, and misinformation. |
| 3 | Group Activity: Case Studies | 15 | Divide students into groups of 5. Each group analyzes a provided case study on AI use in education and presents their findings regarding ethical implications. |
| 4 | Class Discussion | 10 | Facilitate a discussion on group findings, encouraging critical thinking about different perspectives. |
| 5 | Reflection and Key Takeaways | 5 | Summarize the lesson's main points and discuss how students can apply ethical considerations when using AI in their learning. |
| 6 | Homework Assignment | 5 | Assign students to write a brief reflection on how they can use AI tools in their studies while considering ethical practices. |
"Good morning, everyone! Today, we're going to explore an exciting topic: artificial intelligence, commonly known as AI. AI has been a game-changer in various fields, including education. To kick things off, I'd like to hear from you. Can anyone share their understanding or experiences with AI? For example, have you used any AI tools in your studies or daily life? Let's hear some examples!"
(Allow for a few responses from students.)
"Great insights! AI is already playing a role in how we learn and access information, and that's what we'll be diving into today."
"Now that we have a better grasp of what AI is, let’s discuss something very important: ethics. When using AI in education, there are several ethical considerations we must be aware of. Some of these include privacy issues, biases in AI algorithms, and the spread of misinformation.
Can anyone think of an example where these ethical dilemmas might come into play when using AI tools? Let's brainstorm some ideas. Remember, there are no wrong answers here!"
(Encourage student input and prompt with questions as necessary. Write key points on the whiteboard.)
"Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's crucial to think critically about these issues as we integrate AI into our learning environments."
"Now we’re going to break into groups for an activity. I’d like you to get into groups of five. Each group will receive a case study that discusses an instance of AI being used in education. Your task is to analyze your case study, focusing on the ethical implications involved.
Make sure to discuss the following questions:
You have 15 minutes to discuss and prepare your findings for a brief presentation to the class. Let's get started!"
(Give students time to engage in their group discussions, circulating to provide assistance.)
"Alright, everyone, let’s come back together. I hope you found the group activity insightful! I would like each group to share a brief summary of your case study and the key findings regarding ethical considerations. Remember to be respectful and open-minded as we discuss."
(Go around the groups, allowing each to present and prompting further discussion. After each presentation, ask follow-up questions to stimulate critical thought.)
"Thank you for the thoughtful presentations. It’s crucial to recognize that there are multiple perspectives on these issues."
"As we wrap up, let’s summarize what we’ve learned today. We tackled the concept of AI, explored the ethical considerations that come with using AI in education, and engaged in productive discussions about real-world examples.
I’d like you to think about how you can apply these ethical considerations in your own use of AI tools in your studies. It’s essential to be aware of these aspects as we move forward in an increasingly AI-driven world."
"For your homework, I want you to write a reflection, about 1-2 pages long, on how you can use AI tools in your studies ethically. Consider the discussions we've had today and make sure to incorporate the ethical considerations we've explored.
You will submit your reflections via our learning management system, and remember, there are no presentations for this assignment—just a personal reflection. If you have any questions about the assignment, please feel free to ask me after class."
"Thank you for your active participation today! I'm looking forward to reading your reflections."

How do you think AI could enhance our learning experience beyond just providing information? Can you give a specific example?
In what ways do you believe biases in AI algorithms can affect the educational content we receive? Can you think of a situation where this might occur?
Have you personally encountered any misinformation related to AI? How did you verify the information, and what strategies can you use to combat misinformation in the future?
Reflecting on today's discussion, what ethical considerations do you think are most important when incorporating AI into your learning? Why do you think they matter?
If you had the opportunity to create an AI tool for education, what key ethical guidelines would you implement to ensure it is used responsibly?
