"Good morning, class! Today, we’re diving into an exciting topic: Artificial Intelligence, or AI, and its role in design and technology. Can anyone tell me what they think AI is? Yes, that’s correct! AI refers to machines or software that mimic human tasks like learning and problem-solving. Now, why do you think this is important in design and technology? Exactly! AI is transforming how we create and innovate. Let's explore this together!"
"Before we jump into today’s activities, let’s take a moment to check your homework. Please pass your assignments to the front. I won’t ask you to present them, but I’d like to review some common themes or issues I noticed while going through your work. Great job on those! It’s clear that many of you engaged deeply with the subject matter."
"Now, I have some printable cards for each of you. These cards will help you take notes during today’s lesson. As I hand these out, think about the key points you want to remember regarding AI and its applications in design. I’ll give you a moment to fill out the cards as we go along."
"Let’s have a group discussion! I’d love to hear your thoughts on what AI means to you and how you think it’s being used in design and technology. Don’t be shy; share your ideas! For instance, have you heard of any specific examples of AI in everyday products? Excellent thoughts, everyone! It's clear you all have some great insights."
"Now it's time for some hands-on fun! I want you to either work individually or pair up with a classmate to come up with a mini-project that showcases AI in design. Think about how AI can enhance creativity or solve problems in a design context. You’ll have five minutes to brainstorm and sketch out your ideas. Ready, set, go!"
"Alright, time's up! Let's come back together. Now, I will randomly check some of your filled cards to see how well you engaged with today’s lesson. Don’t worry; this is just to gauge everyone’s understanding. If I call your name, just share a point you wrote down. Great job, everyone! Your insights are valuable."
"As we wrap up today's lesson, I want to assign you homework to continue exploring AI in design and technology. I won’t give you specific questions, but I’d like you to find an article or a case study related to AI in a field of design that interests you. Bring your findings in next class to share with your peers. Thank you, everyone; you did a fantastic job today!"
