Teacher: "Good morning, class! Today, we are going to delve into the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence, or AI. AI is becoming an integral part of our lives, influencing various sectors such as healthcare, finance, and even entertainment. While many of you may think of AI as just conversational agents like ChatGPT, there's so much more! Let's explore the broad applications of AI beyond just chatbots."
Teacher: "Now, I’d like you to break into groups of three or four. Take a few moments to discuss and think about how AI impacts your everyday life. Consider industries or activities that you think might use AI, whether you realize it or not. I’ll give you 10 minutes for this discussion, and remember, all ideas are welcome! Ready? Let’s go!"
Teacher: "I hope you had some engaging discussions! Now, I’m going to distribute some printable cards. Each group will receive a set of cards, and I want you to write down your ideas on these cards. Specifically, jot down the applications of AI that you discussed, along with any interesting points or examples you want to remember. You have 10 minutes to complete this activity. Feel free to collaborate and share your thoughts as you fill out the cards!"
Teacher: "Time’s up! Now, I’d like each group to share one insight or application of AI that you discussed. This isn’t a formal presentation; just a quick overview to get everyone’s ideas flowing. Let’s hear from each group—who would like to start?"
Teacher: "Great sharing, everyone! Now, I’d like to take a minute to check some of the cards you filled out. I’ll randomly collect a few and review your responses to understand what you’ve learned today. If your card is selected, just come up and hand it to me. This will help me gauge our understanding of AI concepts."
Teacher: "As we wrap up today’s lesson, let’s take a moment to think about the ethical implications of AI. Questions such as 'What happens to privacy when we use AI?' or 'Could AI lead to job displacement?' can help us think critically about the technology we are learning about. Let’s have an open discussion about these concerns."
Teacher: "For homework, I want you to write a short reflection—about one to two paragraphs—on an application of AI that you found interesting from today’s lesson. Please also mention any ethical implications that you think could come from it. Be ready to submit this at the start of our next class. Remember, there is no presentation required for this reflection, it’s just for your understanding!"
Teacher: "Thank you all for your participation today! I’m excited to read your reflections. See you next class!"
