Artificial Intelligence in Education is much more than a tool for lazy students to plagiarize their assignments. Believe it or not, AI can actually be very helpful in the classroom, especially to teachers. From grammar checks to fun projects, If used wisely, AI can be the tool you need to bring your lessons to the next level!
In project 1 from “Hands-on AI Projects for the Classroom: A Guide for Elective Teachers” students from 4-12 grade think about how experts classify large sets of data and use that information to make decisions to solve real-world problems (Black & Brooks-Young, p.12). The students begin by working in small groups to organize a set of data, considering different types of data representation and how AI can use decision trees to classify data. Then they think about real-world problems that AI could solve with classification algorithms. Next, they develop their own decision tree to classify content from their class. Finally, they reflect on their learning and consider the impact of using AI for classification.
This project could be used in any subject area, at any point in the school year. It is a great way to spark the students’ interest and get them involved in their learning. The decision trees they make can be a way to study for their assessments, a review, or they can also be used as the assessment itself. AI tools like this can bring a multitude of possibilities to any classroom!
