# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As technology continues to rapidly evolve, so too does the way in which it is being used in educational settings. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a popular tool for educators due to its ability to provide personalized instruction and help students learn more efficiently.

In this article, we will explore the current state of AI in education, specifically looking at chat GPT as a case study.

What is ChatGPT and why do we need to know?

Over the past few months, ChatGPT has received plenty of media attention prompting educators to consider its impact on teaching and learning. ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is Open.ai's artificial intelligence chatbot that uses natural language processing to respond to user-generated prompts.

In other words, you can ask it a question, or give it a command (like Write a script for a mint commercial using the voice of Ryan Reynolds) and it produces text for you.

Despite the sudden spotlight on artificial intelligence after ChatGPT's launch, many AI tools have increasingly been integrated into society and education in recent years (think Netflix recommendations, customer service chatbots, Alexa, automatic translators, speech-to-text tools, and autofill on email).

Applied Artificial Intelligence has the highest innovation scores of the trends studied on the 2022 McKinsey Technology Trends Outlook. Society's use of AI is only going to expand from here.

AI tools like ChatGPT could provide ways to personalize learning, improve efficiency, and push us to focus on higher-level thinking. Looking to the future, and in line with BFIS's Vision for Learning, we will empower students to use AI tools responsibly and effectively.

"We aim to engage and empower our students with the creative and innovative skills and dispositions to solve real-world challenges. Our vision is to enhance students' chances to do and learn in context and to create space for students to imagine new realities." (A Vision for Learning 2022-2025).

Schools have a responsibility to not only teach students how to use AI but also how to ensure the ethical use and development of these tools. While we learn how to use them and how to integrate AI into our teaching practices, some worry about plagiarism, how this might change writing instruction, and even how the role of the teacher might change in the future.

It's important to remember that AI will not replace the empathy, human ingenuity, and creativity of teachers and that we too are learners. We will learn to use these tools too and we will adapt.

"Just like we did with the calculator, Wikipedia and Google searches, students and teachers will find productive, meaningful ways to use this new technology for teaching and learning," ( Ditch That Textbook).

An Analysis of ChatGPT with an Education Lens

Strenghts

ChatGPT is a time saver, text producer, and summarizing tool. It provides ideas and inspiration and enhances creativity. Writing with AI assistance can be a unique learning experience if the writer is evaluating, revising, and using AI as an assistant.

Weaknesses

ChatGPT has limited knowledge of world events past 2021 and sometimes fabricates incorrect or biased responses. If you look at the terms and conditions, you'll see that ChatGPT now has a minimum age limit of 18 years old so students should not be using it directly, though it is fine for teachers to demonstrate or share ChatGPT-generated responses.

There is limited access during certain hours due to high use.

Opportunities

Media attention surrounding ChatGPT has prompted the release of other AI tools and led to increased awareness of the AI we are already using. This excitement is an excellent impetus to learn about and explore AI in our learning community.

AI reopens several debates around copyright, creativity, culture and public domain, bias, and art - important concepts for students to consider.

It prompts educators to teach new skills like Prompt Engineering, how to evaluate AI-produced text and ideas with a critical lens, and prepare students for the future by empowering them to use AI now. Students will develop an understanding of what sets us apart as humans and when to use and not use AI.

Threats

There is a fear that students will plagiarize and a threat would be teachers returning to solely in-class on-demand writing. Additionally, as AI tools are rapidly released for testing, it is important to evaluate them as we do with all educational technology tools to ensure they are suitable for student use.

Recent news about Bing's AI tool, for example, highlighted potential dangers and misuse of AI tools.It is important not to anthropomorphize text-generative AI tools and to know instead that they perform complex mathematical operations on the words to generate sentences that make sense to us.

How do AI tools impact authenticity and academic integrity?

The production of authentic work is one of the pillars of education at BFIS and in the wider world, and this has not changed. As stated in our Academic Integrity Policy, "In the world of academics, being honest means producing schoolwork that is authentically your own, while also acknowledging the contributions and ideas of others" (BFIS MSHS Academic Integrity Policy).

This holds with artificial intelligence tools, especially in consideration of academic integrity and producing authentic work. Teachers are encouraged to talk with students about the ethical and appropriate use of AI includinghow they can use it to support learning.

There are great questions to prompt discussion on the If you USEME-AI infographic from Steven Taylor at WAB. The International Baccalaureate has just stated that AI tools can be used by IB students. On applicable assignments, the use of AI should be cited and or acknowledged.

Just as with outside tutors, the use of AI should not significantly impact the representation of these skills. BFIS will send out a citation guide soon.

It is possible to detect AI-produced text using programs like GPT-2 Output Detector or GPTrue; however, there are workarounds for AI detection. This could also incorrectly classify student writing as AI produced if the student uses high probability words or simple sentence structure (for example those learning a second or third language, or those still developing writing skills.)

Therefore it's important for teachers not to rely completely on AI detection tools. Just as students should be critical of AI-produced text, teachers should be critical of AI tools meant to assess writing.

Ways to use ChatGPT (and other AI tools)

We encourage teachers to test the waters! We believe that AI tools should be tested and considered for use to improve efficiency and creativity.

Explore the idea of prompt engineering and how being able to write simple, succinct directions for AI is a useful skill. Here are some prompts to get you started.

Think critically about AI-generated text. Compare and contrast it to human-generated writing.

Use ChatGPT as an assistant. Draft emails, generate discussion questions, and produce a CSV file that can be uploaded to another ed tech tool. Check out this example of using ChatGPT to create a Gimkit.

Make use of collaborative learning and discussions. "When students discuss, they do so from their own working and long-term memory. Sure, they can look up quick answers, but to carry on a conversation, most of the work comes from their own thinking," (Ditch That Textbook).

Create higher-order tasks that require critical thinking and creativity, which AI is not yet skilled at, such as infographics, photo essays, sketch noting, stop motion videos, multimedia content or projects integrating art, music and robotics.

Model how AI can be used as a starting point (inspirational tool), to compare and contrast AI-generated writing with (original) human writing, to rearrange syntax and consider word choice (because AI-generated writing IS human writing mixed conveniently by an algorithm).

Don't "overtech" it. Utilize classroom whiteboard walls, chart paper, post-its, maker centred learning. Check out these no-tech formative assessment ideas.

Focus on process over product.

Evaluate learning objectives for a specific assignment and consider what students should and shouldn't use a tool like ChatGPT.

Other AI tools and opportunities for use can be found on the BFIS Digital Hub.
Context of Rapid Innovation

This document was created by a team of faculty made up of teachers, leaders, librarians, and members of the technology team from January to February of 2023. We recognize that AI technology is innovating rapidly and we will learn and adapt as it is released. The contents of this document will likely evolve with the technology.

Information from the American Academy of Pediatrics summarizing the FITT method that includes general fitness tips and an activity log.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Physical activity is important for everyone in the family. The following is information from the American Academy of Pediatrics summarizing the FITT method and includes general fitness tips and an activity log.

FITT method

FITT (frequency, intensity, time, and type) is one way to remember the general guidelines for what should be included in a fitness plan. Remember, it's important to keep in mind that each family member's fitness goals will be different based on age, sex, current fitness level, and available resources. Talk with your doctor if you have any questions.

Frequency -Do some type of physical activity every day.

Intensity -Choose an activity that is at least moderate in intensity, and also try to add a few more vigorous activities over the week. Vigorous activity is activity that makes you breathe hard and sweat. (Reaching a certain heart rate is not necessary.)

Slow walking (3.5 mph)

Fast walking (4.5 mph)

Slow bike riding (<10 mph)

Fast bike riding (>10 mph)

Dancing

Jogging or running

Weight lifting-light workout

Aerobics

Stretching

Competitive sports: basketball, football, soccer

Time (duration)-Plan on a total time of at least 60 minutes of activity each day. This can be done all at once or added together over several shorter 10- to 15-minute blocks of activity. Breaking it up into smaller blocks of time is a great way to start a new program or fit activity into a busy schedule.

Type -The type of activity can include a variety of team sports, individual sports, recreational activities, family activities, active hobbies, and walking or bicycling for fun and transportation. Several times every week do weight-bearing activities that promote muscle strength, flexibility, and bone health. The most important thing is to choose something fun!

Tips for parents

Make time to be active. School-aged youth should participate every day in 60 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous physical activity that is right for their age, enjoyable, and involves a variety of activities.

Limit sedentary activities. These are activities where you're sitting down a lot, like watching TV, using the computer, or playing video games. Spend no more than 2 hours per day in front of a screen.

Keep an activity log. The use of activity logs can help children and teens keep track of their exercise programs and physical activity.

Focus on the positive. Praising participation over winning and encouraging positive behaviors are important, especially if a child is less active and interested in sports.

Be a role model. Parents are powerful role models and can help shape a child's perception of exercise.

Activity Log

Children and teens can be motivated to exercise more when they keep an activity log. Logs can also be used by parents and health care professionals to make recommendations for changes or to offer incentives to encourage their children to be physically active.

Illuminae

Illuminae is the NYT and internationally bestselling first book in a new trilogy co-authored with Jay Kristoff, and in development for film with Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainment.

This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she'd have to do.

This afternoon, her planet was invaded.

The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that's little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra-who are barely even talking to each other-are forced to fight their way onto one of the evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.

But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what's really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak to again!

Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents-including emails, schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more-Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping, high-octane trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.

The Benefits of Using AI Art as an Arts and Crafts Activity with Children

AI Art has the potential to unlock new levels of creativity and innovation in children's' arts and crafts activities. Here are some of the benefits of using AI Art with your children:

Exploration of AI Art as a tool to enhance creativity in children - By introducing children to AI Art, they can explore new ways of creating art and developing their ideas. Children can experiment with various AI Art techniques, such as machine learning to produce unique and original art pieces.

Stimulate imagination and innovation - AI Art can inspire children to think outside the box and explore new ideas. Through AI Art, children can learn about the principles of design, colour, and composition, and apply these concepts to their own artworks. AI Art can also introduce children to new themes, art mediums and concepts that they may not have encountered before, for example they can become aware of and start applying cubism, pop art or cyber punk, to name a few.

Inspire Confidence - AI Art can inspire children. By using AI Art tools and resources, children can create digital artworks that can be shared easily and showcased with others, such as their friends, family and teachers. This can boost their self-confidence and sense of achievement, encouraging them to continue exploring their creativity.

How to Incorporate AI Art into your Arts and Crafts Activities with your Children

Incorporating AI Art into your arts and crafts activities with children can be a fun and rewarding experience, for example:

Create a collaborative AI Art project with your children - Collaborating on an AI Art project can be a fun and engaging way to bond with your children while encouraging their creativity. This is where you share and bounce of each others ideas. By working together on an AI Art project, you can develop your children's communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

You can use online AI Art tools, such as Artbreeder, Dall E-2 or Dreamlike.art to create joint artworks with your children.

Use AI Art to transform a photo - If you child has taken a photo, you can use an AI art generator like Fotor or Nightcafe to transform the traditional photograph into digital artworks.

Encourage your children to create their own AI Art - You can encourage your children to create their own AI Art using the tools and resources mentioned above. By giving your children the freedom to explore and experiment with AI Art, you can foster their creativity and innovation in this digital age.

The Resources Required for Creating AI Art with Children

All you need to create AI art with your child is access to a computer or tablet. You will then need to visit an AI art generator website.

Many of the AI art generator websites are free, but they place limits on the number of images you can create over a given time period. I would suggest using several websites to make the most of the free allowances. You will also need to register and sign in with the majority of the sites.

The benefit to using several websites is that the same prompt will produce different images on each.

Here are my favourite AI art generator websites:

Dreamlike.art - This is my favourite site as it produces sharp images in quick time and is easy to use.

Dall-E 2 - Dall-E 2 comes from the same company that created ChaptGPT. This website produces great images, but the art generation process can be a little slow.

Stablediffusionweb - This site allows the user to create many free images, and the speed of generation is fairly quick.

Nightcafe - This is another great AI tool that produces art work in just a few moments.

Dream by Wombo - This website is easy to use and produces images fairly quickly.

Craiyon - The website is easy to use, but it takes a few minutes to generate an image. This website does have adverts.

Mid-Journey - Mid-journey produces great images, perhaps the best of all the AI art generators, but this site does require a sign-up via Discord. Whilst this AI art generator produces great results it is not the most accessible for beginners or when carrying out this childrens arts and craft activity.

Possible AI Art and Craft Ideas

What you and your child can produce is limitless, but just to get you started on your AI arts and craft project, here are a few ideas:

Create a dream world: Ask your children to describe their dream world, and then type this in the prompt of your chosen AI art generator. The AI art generator will then transform this description into a surreal and abstract digital image.

Breed a creature: Challenge your children to create a new creature. Discuss what it is going to look like, consider the parts of its body, and then use an AI Art platform to create the image. A website like Artbreeder will allow you and your child to adjust and evolve the picture of their creature into a unique and original digital image.

Transform a landscape: Ask your children to imagine a landscape or cityscape, and then use an AI art generator to create the image.

Bring a character to life: Ask your children to draw a character or superhero, and then use a tool to transform their drawing into a photo realistic digital image.

Create a digital collage: Once you created a series of digital images, get you child to snip the images into different shapes and patterns, and then arrange them as collage. This can be done using a variety of programmes such as Photoshop, Publisher or Procreate. Or print them out and create a collage on a piece of paper, mixing digital and traditional art methods.

These are just a few ideas, but if you give your children the freedom to explore and experiment with AI Art, you can unlock their imagination and creativity, and help them discover new ways to express themselves through art.

Suitable Prompts to Enter into an AI Art Generator

The AI art is reliant upon the written prompts that you or your child enter into it. The more descriptive the prompt the better the results.

To get you started, here are some prompts that you could experiment with. Please adapt these to suit you and your child's personal preferences.

"Birds sitting on a tropical beach playing cards, Include palm trees, bright blue sea, other beach animals, such as crabs. Manga style. Radiant light, Use soft textures. Flowerpunk."

"Futuristic cyberpunk cityscape, use cool colour palette with neon lighting. Include technology features like, wires, circuit boards, and metallic textures".

"Draw a creature with a mix of different animal features such as wings, tentacles, and horns. Desert background. Neon colours. Add shadows. intricately detailed. Style of Andy Warhol".

Once you get more confident and experimental, start adding more terms into your prompts, such as:

Possible Art Styles to Explore using AI Art

Using an AI Art generator will allow your child to learn and experiment with a variety of artist styles that they may not yet be aware of. When you are typing or writing prompts into the AI art generator, I suggest citing a specific art style.

I have listed some art styles below as a quick reference for you:

Pixel art: An art style that uses pixels to create images, similar to the graphics found in classic video games.

Anime/manga: A style of animation and comics originating from Japan, characterised by colourful and exaggerated features.

Realism: An art style that aims to represent the world as it appears in reality, often using techniques like shading, texture, and perspective.

Surrealism: An art style that explores the world of dreams and the subconscious, often featuring strange or bizarre imagery.

Abstract: An art style that uses colour, shape, and form to create images that do not depict recognisable objects or scenes.

Minimalism: An art style that emphasises simplicity and minimal elements, often featuring flat shapes and solid colors.

Impressionism: An art style that captures the fleeting effects of light and color, often featuring loose brushstrokes and blurred outlines.

Pop art: An art style that uses images from popular culture and mass media, often featuring bright colours and bold lines.

Graffiti: An art style that originated in street art and uses bold colours and lettering to create bold, expressive images.

Cyberpunk: An art style that explores a futuristic, dystopian world, often featuring neon colors, technological imagery, and a mix of organic and industrial elements.

The Challenges and Precautions of Using AI with Kids

While AI Art can be a great tool for children to find their creativity, there are also potential issues and risks associated with its use. It is important for parents and art teachers to be aware of these challenges and take precautions to ensure children's safety. Possible risks include:

Risk of exposure to inappropriate content. Parents should be vigilant in monitoring the images that children create and use age-appropriate AI Art generators that have strict content filters.

Over-reliance on technology. While AI Art can be a great tool to enhance creativity, it is important to ensure that children still have opportunities to explore traditional art forms, such as drawing and painting to prevent over-reliance on technology and foster well-rounded creativity.

Screen time. As all parents are aware, it is important to monitor your child's use of technology and ensure that they are taking breaks and engaging in other activities as well.

My Final Thoughts

AI Art is an exciting and innovative tool that can enhance children's creativity and innovation in arts and crafts activities. By introducing your children to AI Art, you can inspire them to explore new themes, ideas, and techniques in their artwork. You can also use AI Art to collaborate with your children, transform their traditional artwork into digital masterpieces, and encourage them to create their own AI Art.

I would not want AI Art to replace traditional techniques, but it can be a new tool to enhance creativity for adults and children alike.

The Benefits of Using AI Art as an Arts and Crafts Activity with Children

AI Art has the potential to unlock new levels of creativity and innovation in children's' arts and crafts activities. Here are some of the benefits of using AI Art with your children:

Exploration of AI Art as a tool to enhance creativity in children - By introducing children to AI Art, they can explore new ways of creating art and developing their ideas. Children can experiment with various AI Art techniques, such as machine learning to produce unique and original art pieces.

Stimulate imagination and innovation - AI Art can inspire children to think outside the box and explore new ideas. Through AI Art, children can learn about the principles of design, colour, and composition, and apply these concepts to their own artworks. AI Art can also introduce children to new themes, art mediums and concepts that they may not have encountered before, for example they can become aware of and start applying cubism, pop art or cyber punk, to name a few.

Inspire Confidence - AI Art can inspire children. By using AI Art tools and resources, children can create digital artworks that can be shared easily and showcased with others, such as their friends, family and teachers. This can boost their self-confidence and sense of achievement, encouraging them to continue exploring their creativity.

How to Incorporate AI Art into your Arts and Crafts Activities with your Children

Incorporating AI Art into your arts and crafts activities with children can be a fun and rewarding experience, for example:

Create a collaborative AI Art project with your children - Collaborating on an AI Art project can be a fun and engaging way to bond with your children while encouraging their creativity. This is where you share and bounce of each others ideas. By working together on an AI Art project, you can develop your children's communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

You can use online AI Art tools, such as Artbreeder, Dall E-2 or Dreamlike.art to create joint artworks with your children.

Use AI Art to transform a photo - If you child has taken a photo, you can use an AI art generator like Fotor or Nightcafe to transform the traditional photograph into digital artworks.

Encourage your children to create their own AI Art - You can encourage your children to create their own AI Art using the tools and resources mentioned above. By giving your children the freedom to explore and experiment with AI Art, you can foster their creativity and innovation in this digital age.

The Resources Required for Creating AI Art with Children

All you need to create AI art with your child is access to a computer or tablet. You will then need to visit an AI art generator website.

Many of the AI art generator websites are free, but they place limits on the number of images you can create over a given time period. I would suggest using several websites to make the most of the free allowances. You will also need to register and sign in with the majority of the sites.

The benefit to using several websites is that the same prompt will produce different images on each.

Here are my favourite AI art generator websites:

Dreamlike.art - This is my favourite site as it produces sharp images in quick time and is easy to use.

Dall-E 2 - Dall-E 2 comes from the same company that created ChaptGPT. This website produces great images, but the art generation process can be a little slow.

Creating soundwave art with your students is a great way to teach them about the science of sound. Click To Tweet

Before you get the students to create artwork, you can teach:

How sound is produced

What a waveform is

How the waveform changes when sounds are loud or when they are soft

Going one step further, you can use audio recording software to show them the soundwave. Two great free options are (for Mac or PC) and Twisted Wave (online - good for Chromebooks).

How to create soundwave art - the basic steps

After learning about sound, students can create a visual "sound message" for someone they know. The basic steps involved are:

1. Open your audio recording software and record a short message

2. Take a screenshot of your recorded waveform

3. Import the screenshot into Google Docs

4. Optional: edit the image

5. Print and assemble artwork!

It's really simple to do, lots of fun and there are many applications. Students can stick their soundwave art on to a card, print it on colored paper and decorate it however they like.

Ideas for using soundwave art

Creating soundwave art is a perfect way to celebrate an event, holiday or other special occasion in your class. You can leave it up to the students to choose what they will say in their recording, but SHORT messages usually work best.

Here are a few suggestions:

Mother's Day or Father's Day - "You're the best!" or "I love you" or "My Dad rocks"

Valentine's Day - "I love you" or "be my Valentine"

Holidays - "Happy holidays!" or "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Thanksgiving Day"

Halloween - record a spooky laugh or imitate a ghost!

You can use any audio recording software that shows a waveform for this step. I've had success with both (download to your Mac or PC) and Twisted Wave (online) which are both free to use.

You do not need any special equipment for this - the built-in microphone on the laptop or Chromebook is more than adequate. This is possibly the only time that you don't really need to worry too much about the quality of the recording. You only need the sound wave to look good since it will be seen and not heard! Having said that, if students are too close to the mic or speak too loudly, the waveform won't have much variation in it (it will look like a "block" of sound). They might need to experiment with their speaking volume and/or distance from the microphone to get the best-looking result.

Here are the steps:

1. Record your message

Open or Twisted Wave (if you're using Twisted Wave online, you'll need to give it permission to use your microphone) or any other software/app that records audio and produces a visual waveform

Say your message

Take a look at the waveform you recorded. If you need to record it again, press the Undo button to remove the recording and go back to step 2 (or select your recording and delete it)

2. Take a screenshot (screen capture) of the waveform

Next, take a screenshot of the waveform and save the image. You can use screen capture software, or use the inbuilt screen capture option on your laptop:

On Mac: press Cmd+Shift+4 (or 5 if you're on Mojave)

On PC: press the Printscreen button

On Chromebooks: Ctrl+Shift and the Switch Window key

NB: Save the screen capture with a descriptive file name. Include the student's name, class, group etc. so that you can locate it easily next time.

3. Import the image into a Google Doc

Open a new Google Doc

Go to Import > Image > Upload From Computer or select Drive if your image is stored there

You can also simply drag the image into the document

4. Optional: edit the image

In Google Docs, you can change the appearance of the soundwave image before printing it.

To crop the image: click on the image first and then click on the Crop button. Crop to the desired shape:

To change the background of the waveform: click on the image to select it, click on Image Options and then adjust the Contrast (drag to the right to make the background lighter or white):

To change the color of the waveform: click on the image to select it, click on Image Options and then choose one of the options in the Recolor drop-down menu. Some of the options will affect only the waveform and some will affect the waveform and the background. Experiment until you find one you like!

Here are four examples using a waveform image from Twisted Wave:

5. Print your soundwave and create your artwork

The final step is to print the soundwave. You can then add it to a card or print it as is and then frame it.

Listen to a podcast episode about soundwave art!

In episode 98 of the Music Tech Teacher podcast, I described the process for making your own soundwave art and gave some examples.

An iphone app to create teams and randomize participants for PE class "competitions."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Team Shake provides a technological and environmentally friendly way to choose teams for board games, sporting events, tournaments, school projects or anytime groups are required. The newest release brings many new features including full iPad support, balancing teams based on skill or gender, importing users from a file, enabling video output, and sharing teams via facebook or email.

Team Shake is the premier iOS App for creating teams. Instead of a hat and scraps of paper, the user enters his friends' names in his iPhone and gives it a shake. The screen will then display a random set of color-coded teams. These teams can immediately be used for game play or shared via facebook or email. The quick and easy selection of random (or balanced) teams eliminates fighting over who will be on which team. Innovative use of the iPhone shake gesture gives users the satisfying feeling of shaking a virtual hat without the trouble of carrying around an actual hat. Conventional buttons can also be used for those who would rather not shake their expensive hardware about.

The app is designed with ease of use and simplicity in mind. Names can easily be entered with the onscreen keyboard, chosen from the user's contacts, or imported from a file. The email and facebook functions document the members of each individual team as well as preserving the team number and color assigned by the app. For repeated use of Team Shake, lists of friends can be easily saved and loaded later. The current list is also automatically saved so that if you exit the app, or even reboot the device, changes will not be lost. For teachers and others with large lists of people, Team Shake supports the ability to import teams from text or csv files.

If you have any problems, feature requests, or comments please send an email to support@rhine-o.com.

Features:

* Create 1 to 64 random teams
* Create completely random or balanced teams
* Full iPad support
* Eliminates fighting over choosing teams
* Share / Save teams via email or Facebook
* Teams can be chosen by the number of teams or by the size of teams.
* Save lists of friends for later games
* Import lists from email or spreadsheet
* Export lists and options for use on another device
* Satisfying feeling of shaking a "virtual" hat to create teams
* Animated shaking hat
* Entry of names via onscreen keyboard
* Entry of names via iPhone contacts
* Temporarily disable people who are absent
* Set groups of people to always be on the same team
* Set groups of people to always be on different teams
* Set user strength to make more even teams (now supports fully balanced teams)
* 5 users strengths level
* Pick a single random person from the list of players
* User strength indicator on the main screen (can be disabled in options)
* Number of active players and total players is now displayed on the main screen
* Video Out Support
* Option to Sort Teams by Name
* Option to balance male / female team members
* "Equal Ability" option to create teams where all players have the same strength
* Option to create separate male and female teams
* Configurable Team Colors
* Configurable Team Names
* Print Support
* Export Teams in CSV or XLS Format

Yappler-Tags: Teams, Groups, Random, Hat, Entertainment, Games, Utilities

Version 3.0.2

Version 3.0.2 brings the ability to assign multiple subteams and oppose teams to iPad and Mac devices. XLSX files will now be exported with the same order as is seen on the screen.
Version 3.0.1 is a minor bug fix release that fixes some problems with the import of list via CSV and XLSX files
Version 3.0.0 is a major update bringing in some major features:
- Team Shake now supports simultaneously assigning players to multiple subteams and / or oppose teams at the same time.
- Subteams / Oppose teams can now have customized names to make selection easier
- Subteams / Oppose teams can now be enabled or disabled globally so that teams can be made quickly without subteams / oppose teams. In particular, Balance Teams Strengths will work when separate Male / Female teams are created.
- Team Selection algorithms have been update to be more compatible with each other
- A new options to choose team color automatically has been created.
- New option to choose the default number of teams / people for a new list has been added.
- New option to choose if a new list should default to creating a # of Teams or a # of People has been added.
- Subteam X in Team X option has been added to all subteams to be assigned to particular teams
- Fonts and Font Sizes can now be changed for both the main screen and the teams screen
- Team Shake can now force all teams to have an even number of players.
- An option has been added to show user strength on the Teams Screen
- An option has been added to show gender on the Teams Screen
- All subteams / oppose teams can now be cleared with a single action.
- If a subteam is larger the team size, the subteam will be split into 2 or more subteams rather than ignoring the subteam.
- If an oppose team is larger than the number of teams, it will be distributed evenly between teams so that the users are as separated as possible rather than ignoring the oppose team.

Very Useful!

The program is quick to use and has an attractive output. Students volunteer to be the one to shake the hat. It is easy to toggle between the choice of number of groups as opposed to the number in each group and easy to temporarily omit absent students.
A teacher can also use the program to determine the order of oral presentations by setting the number of groups to be one.
Moreover, the program accepts Japanese characters, which makes it better for my Japanese classes.
Do be sure not to ignore warnings to save list changes before opening another list.

worth a slight learning curve

I am a middle and high school teacher. We often divide our classes into teams for sports, small group discussions, etc. and I find this app invaluable for that purpose. It takes a little while to get fully comfy with all of the features, but it's worth it as all of the functions are very useful. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended

I teach an adult ESL class, in which the students are at drastically different levels. This app makes it so easy for me to arrange them in either homogenous or heterogeneous groups, depending on the activity. I can leave the iPad opened, so they can easily find their group or partner, allowing me to facilitate those who have already begun. Worth every penny!

Love it. Simple to use. Awesome

I was looking for a basic and simple to use app that acts like a 30sec timer for my exercise routine. This app is awesome! I was able to easily customize it to count down and ding every 30seconds. I liked how it changed colors every 30 seconds cuz sometimes my volume is muted so I can glimpse at the color change to kno that it's times up. I love the display on my iPhone, its not cluttered like some other apps. I'm soooo happy I found this app after trying out many others and i like how it's free :) I'm definitely gonna recommend this to my friends. Some negatives: it costs money to add this to my Apple Watch, so I'm just going to use the free iPhone app version instead (until I win the lottery haha). I don't like the ads. And last complaint is, I wish the music controls on iPhone was larger. Some positives: I love how i now push myself to workout harder and longer cuz i try to keep up w the timer. And I like how I can now focus on breathing rather than Focusing on counting. Love this app!! Thank u developer for making me healthier and more motivated to workout :-)

Great for all sorts of interval training

I originally got this to use for timing Fartlek runs and speed intervals. The cycles are easy to customize and provide great feedback through sound and vibration. But then I started doing interval training at home (circuit, HIIT, and technique drills). Now I could add in visual keys and create complex hour long workouts and practices. Colors, sounds, titles, intervals, rests, cycles, repeats, all are customizable on the free app. If I could add one feature, it would be either a three period cycle or a cycle start warning, so that I can do high/low/get ready or left/right/rest. If I could make one change, it would be the ability to make a one time premium purchase instead of a subscription. I would like to put some money towards the app, perhaps for new templates (like the suggestion above) or for sharing, but I am wary of subscription services over one time purchases.
That said, I now use the premium service and is has even more flexibility, to the point that I use it over even physical timers at the gym.

A Disappointing Downfall

This app used to be good. So good. Almost too good to be true but unfortunately things have changed for the worse in very saddening ways. The Trump ads don't bother me, as much I dislike him I couldn't care less about his ads, but other changes are extremely frustrating. No longer can you have this app open while playing audio in another app without sound stopping every 5 seconds (due to ads apparently), no longer do timer sounds work properly when the app is open in the background and no longer do the developers seem to care at all about providing a product with some semblance of consumer satisfaction. The worst part, however, is that this is still the best app of it's kind on the App Store. So until a better one comes along, I guess I'll have to suffer through this one.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Using AI to solve problems requires skills and values which extend far beyond simply having knowledge of coding and technology. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rooted in Human Intelligence (HI), the way humans learn from experience, to adapt to new situations, to understand and handle abstract concepts, and to use knowledge to manipulate the environment.

Students learn to identify an authentic problem that would benefit from an AI solution and understand the range of possible solutions. The process of working towards that solution requires collaboration with others, Design Thinking, creatively brainstorming possible solutions, and then ethicallygathering and using datato train a computer to help solve the issue. Through testing the prototype with users, critically evaluating and using feedback to create a better solution, students build resilience and learn to view failures as instructive.
(2) AI is already here
AI applications are becoming ubiquitous in students' daily lives, in school and at home.

Most students will have used social networking platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and SnapChat, all of which use AI systems to target content and advertising. AI digital assistants such as Apple's Siri or Google Now may have helped them search the web or ask for recommendations. Their parents may have received infringement notices sent from a traffic camera trained to read licence plates, and while travelling in the car, Google Maps may have been used to propose the fastest route to a destination.

A better understanding of these AI systems allows students to make informed choices about using them. In their future learning and careers, an understanding about AI will allow them to use smart machines to enhance their capabilities, not feel that machines are 'the competition'.
(3) AI prompts ethical concerns
Machines (computers) do what they are 'told' through step by step instructions (algorithms) provided in a language that they can understand (coding). If the algorithms or coding are faulty or biased, then the machine will not perform as expected, or can reflect the biases of its human creators. For instance, racial and gender biases have been revealed in facial recognition technology used increasingly by big tech companies and in law enforcement.

Students need early learning experiences about AI, including the ethical implications of AI, to understand how these systems collect and use information. Ethical use of AI involves a focus on the wellbeing and privacy of users, the security of data, and transparency around when the system is being used.
(4) AI is relevant to every part of the curriculum
All AI systems process copious amounts of data and recognise patterns, but vary depending on the data source, such as images, text or speech, and what they are programmed to do with the data. AI can be used in any school subject. In Visual Arts, machines can be taught to recognise images of paintings and identify artists, as well as artistic genres. In Music, AI could provide feedback to students who are practising musical pieces, or students could train a machine to recognise and identify examples of a particular musical pattern. Students would learn not only how AI 'works' but that there are many instances where the particular musical pattern has been used.
(5) AI education fosters thinking skills
Authentic problems are usually 'messy'. They do not have a single well-defined solution and therefore engaging with AI to solve these types of problems provides a perfect context for students to use 21 st century skills of critical and creative thinking, collaboration and communication. They also use the processes of design thinking and computational thinking, and develop skills in data fluency and ethical decision making.
(6) AI literacy is an essential skill for the future
The changing world needs students to be 'lifelong learners' who continuously adapt and learn new skills in evolving workplaces. They will need to be digitally confident, global in their outlook, great problem-solvers, collaborators and communicators. By learning about AI, students develop a better understanding of their strengths as humans, identify their values, and develop the skills needed to solve real problems and put AI to good use.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) education for teachers is now available for enrolment from 26 th October 2020 free on Coursera. The short course introduces K-12 educators to Artificial Intelligence and how it can be embedded into all areas of the curriculum. The course is based on the IBM Artificial Intelligence (AI) Curriculum Framework, which has been designed by Macquarie University In partnership with IBM. Artificial Intelligence (AI) education for teachers is part of a suite of global, open online resources for students and teachers that provide support for the development of the knowledge, skills and values needed to understand AI and its implications for society and the world and to use AI to solve authentic problems, now and in the future. We hope that you find the course to be educational and interesting and would appreciate comments about ways to enhance or maintain its efficacy.

Many educators are aware that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a key ingredient in the ed-tech tools they're using or considering purchasing. Fewer can articulate what AI actually is.

While AI continues to gain traction in education and in a variety of different industries and business use cases, professionals in K-12 schools often aren't aware of the benefits it can offer them. AI is being used by many educators to better meet the needs of students with disabilities and help teachers who often report feeling overworked be more efficient. Also, AI is shown to save 20-40% of a teacher's time. That stat translates into about 13 extra hours per week-time which could be better spent to support student learning.

Online and hybrid learning increase the opportunities to turn to AI to address K-12 students' daily needs. K-12 educators should take note of AI to drive both their own success and the success of their students.

What Is Artificial Intelligence?

On a high level, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is technology that simulates human intelligence. AI creators aim to build technologies that produce, communicate and recognize much like a human would, but faster and more efficiently. Simple tools like calculators were once considered AI, but the technology has greatly evolved in the education space.

Educators can now use AI technology to personalize learning to their students, make teaching online easier and improve communication with parents. K-12 educators shouldn't be fearful if they don't understand the inner workings of AI. Instead, they can rest assured that applying AI is easy. The sooner they do, they'll be able to better address accessibility needs for students with disabilities, better manage their classrooms and share information more easily with students and parents.

Applying AI in K-12 Schools

Here are some key technologies based on AI that educators can start leveraging in K-12 classrooms:

AI-Powered Chatbots: The same technology that powers the chatbots on a business' website are now being used to take on the roles of teachers, advisers and tutors for students. K-12 schools are embracing chatbots as a way to connect with students and their parents more, with a conversational AI that provides useful interactions and quick answers to questions. For example, teachers could make use of a chatbot to provide auto-responses to student questions in the evening, such as details about assignments and due dates. Chatbots are also shown to improve communication with families.

Captioning and Audio Description Tools: With more video being embedded into the learning experience and greater online learning being offered, ensuring the needs of students with disabilities are met when participating is essential. AI-based accessibility tools like captioning and audio description are offering equity to these students, including those who are Deaf or hard of hearing. AI is being used to live caption online classes and provide word-for-word notes via transcripts so all students can engage. However, in order for these AI tools to be effective, a process like Verbit's which uses humans to edit the AI's work in real-time is necessary to meet the benchmarks of accuracy required by the ADA for true student equity. Aside from students with disability needs, captions and transcripts initiated by AI benefit all students, improving their comprehension and memory when learning.

Digital Assistant Devices: Digital voice assistants like Amazon's Echo Device can help save educators time while they're busy in the classroom. These assistants are trained with AI to recognize voice commands and answer simple questions and requests. They allow teachers to pause and play videos being used for lessons audibly and even set timers for students to complete tasks.

Web Accessibility Tools: Assistive technologies like screen readers and browser extensions are making online learning more accessible for students who are blind or have low vision. AI tools like Google's Conceptual Captions can read images and add automatic alt-text to images online. Plus, accessibility checkers like WAVE can make key improvements to school websites with more accessible headings and graphics in the same way a human would read something over and make changes. Web accessibility is essential to make school websites accessible to students and parents with vision-related disabilities. Tools like Verbit's Audio Description are also being used to improve the learning experience for those who are blind or have low vision.

Start Dipping Your Toe in AI

AI technology isn't designed nor capable of replacing beloved teachers. Rather, it will help educators ensure better, more engaging learning experiences. AI will enable K-12 instructors to teach more efficiently with time-saving classroom technologies and offer greater accessibility for students with disabilities or those who are struggling while remote.

Verbit's in-house AI was developed for the education industry's needs. Consider starting by offering useful tools like captioning and transcription that adhere to ADA guidelines to help K-12 students learn with equity and in more engaging formats when online.

As with many technologies used in K-12 learning environments, school leaders must guarantee that artificial intelligence is safe. In addition to the legal requirements placed on districts, there are ethical issues schools must consider before introducing new tech powered by AI and machine learning (ML).

To do this, there must first be an understanding of what AI looks like in education. "All of us have very different ideas for AI and algorithmic tools and machine learning and what these things are," says sava saheli singh, an eQuality-Scotiabank postdoctoral fellow in AI and surveillance at the University of Ottawa.

The concepts of AI and ML are nebulous, meaning that everyone understands them a bit differently. The internet, and companies selling AI-powered products, can sway people's understanding of this technology.

For school leaders to properly protect students using this tech, they must understand what AI and ML mean in the context of the products they're adopting. IT administrators should also understand how the AI is using data and how the tools affect different student populations.
Click the banner to learn more about trending tech when you register as an Insider.
Do IT Leaders Understand How AI Works in K-12 Ed Tech?

The first consideration leaders must make is whether they understand the tools in which they're investing. IT departments should know what the tools are doing behind the scenes to produce the results they see.

"There's definitely a lack of understanding about what these systems are, how they're implemented, who they're for and what they're used for," singh says.

In understanding how AI works, IT leaders must remember that these systems rely on data.

"AI only works if you grab data. It only works if you grab data from everywhere you can find it, and the more data the better," says Valerie Steeves, a professor in the department of criminology at the University of Ottawa and principal investigator of the eQuality project.

Because AI and ML tools rely on data, admins must ensure they're building in student data protections to use this technology ethically. "AI that's rolling out now always comes with a price tag, and the price tag is your students' data," Steeves says.
KEEP READING: Data analytics shows the impact of educational technology.
Do School Leaders Account for AI Tech's Bias?

Another ethical consideration is algorithmic bias in AI and ML technologies. When purchasing these solutions, it's important to remember that these programs are operating off data sets that frequently contain bias.

"There's a lot of bias involved in applying some of these tools," singh says. "A lot of these tools are made by specific people and with specific populations in mind. At a basic level, there's racial, gender, sexual orientation differences - there's a lot of different kinds of people - and a lot of these technologies either leave them out or include them in ways that are really harmful."

While the creators of these tools typically aren't intending to cause harm, the biases built into the data sets can discriminate against certain student populations.

"It creates a system where biases can play out in in ways that are rampant, and it becomes ever more difficult to pull them back because the bias and the discriminatory use of the data is built into the algorithm," Steeves says.

One way to account for this bias is to acknowledge it. Teaching students to interact with AI should include lessons about how it was created and where these biases may appear.

What Are Beneficial Uses of AI in Education?

The necessary ethical considerations shouldn't dissuade school leaders from using AI in education entirely. Teaching students to interact with this technology will set them up for success in higher education and future careers. There are also safe ways to use AI.

"A lot of the context in which algorithms and AI and machine learning are useful is when you're looking at a large corpus of data and trying to make sense of it," singh says. "Using algorithms and AI to answer a specific question can maybe give you a clue as to what the larger context might be. In that educational context, I think it's a useful tool."

When students are inputting data, instead of being the subjects from whom data is extracted, AI can be extremely beneficial.

AI is most useful when "no data is collected from the kids, and the kids are not embedded into some kind of surveillance system," Steeves says. "AI is just helping them facilitate their learning and their modeling of the world around them."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The potential of using artificial intelligence in education to enhance learning, assist teachers and fuel more effective individualized learning is exciting, but also a bit daunting. To even have an intelligent conversation about AI in education, one must first push past imaginary science-fiction scenarios of computers and robots teaching our children, replacing teachers and reducing the human element from what is a fundamentally human activity.

One of the leading writers on the benefits of artificial intelligence in education, Matthew Lynch ( "My Vision for the Future of Artificial Intelligence in Education"), is careful to explore the potential pitfalls along with the benefits, writing that "the use of AI in education is valuable in some ways, but we must be hyper-vigilant in monitoring its development and its overall role in our world."

The ethical considerations are profound, as they are when it comes to using artificial intelligence in any type of setting. AI lacks a so-called "moral compass." So, by one way of looking at it, AI programming is "as ethical as its developer," according to TowardsDataScience, in an article about AI ethics that prescribes two important recommendations moving forward:

1. We need to have ethics built into the idea of why a certain piece of technology, equipped with AI, is being developed.

2. We need to monitor/check/police the outcomes of that specific piece of technology in order to fully understand its behavior and make sure that it's not violating our (human) moral compass.

There is robust debate throughout the technology community and beyond about ethics in artificial intelligence and most university degree programs are integrating courses on AI ethics into their curriculum. There, now that we have identified the ethical elephant in the room, let's talk about the exciting possibilities of AI in education.

The Potential Benefits of AI in Education

Ideally, writes Lynch in The EdAdvocate, "AI does not detract from classroom instruction but enhances it in many ways." He summarizes five intriguing potential pluses of integrating AI in education:

Personalization: "It can be overwhelmingly difficult for one teacher to figure out how to meet the needs of every student in his/her classroom. ... AI systems easily adapt to each student's individual learning needs and can target instruction based on their strengths and weaknesses."

Tutoring: AI systems can "gauge a student's learning style and pre-existing knowledge to deliver customized support and instruction."

Grading: Sure, AI can help grade exams using an answer key; but it can also "compile data about how students performed and even grade more abstract assessments such as essays."

Feedback on course quality: For example, if many students are answering a question incorrectly, "AI can zero in on the specific information or concepts that students are missing, so educators can deliver targeted improvements in materials and methods."

Meaningful and immediate feedback to students: Some students may be shy about taking risks or receiving critical feedback in the classroom, but "with AI, students can feel comfortable to make the mistakes necessary for learning and receive the feedback they need for improvement."

Much of the potential envisioned for AI in education centers on reducing time spent by teachers on tedious tasks to free up time for more meaningful ones.

Automating administrative tasks is also one of five potential benefits spotlighted by Bernard Marr, an author, futurist and technology advisor who cites figures forecasting 47.5% growth from 2017-2021 in the use of artificial intelligence in education in the U.S.

In a video on the potential of AI in education, Marr explains why he sees AI having a "massive impact" in education - emphasizing that "AI is not a threat to teachers; it is not there to replace teachers," but rather to deliver a better education to our children." He envisions a future hybrid model that is designed to "get the best out of our artificially intelligent-enabled systems and our teachers." Marr outlines the potential of AI to help our education provide enhanced:

Differentiated and individualized learning

Automation of administrative tasks

Tutoring and support outside the classroom

Universal access for all students

43 Examples of AI in Education

Inspired by a challenge from "an old school teacher who thinks that AI is ruining education," Matthew Lynch reviews a wide range of topics in a piece titled "26 Ways That Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Education For The Better." For example:

Adaptive Learning: "Used to teach students basic and advanced skills by assessing their present skill level and creating a guided instructional experience that helps them become proficient."

Assistive Technology: AI can help special needs students access a more equitable education, for example by "reading passages to a visually impaired student."

Early Childhood Education: "AI is currently being used to power interactive games that teach children basic academic skills and more."

Data and Learning Analytics: "AI is currently being used by teachers and education administrators to analyze and interpret data," enabling them to make better-informed decisions.

Scheduling: Helping administrators to schedule courses and individuals to manage their daily, weekly, monthly or yearly schedules.

Facilities Management: AI is effective at "monitoring the status of power, Wi-Fi and water services; alerting the facilities management workers when problems arise."

Overall School Management: AI is currently being used to manage entire schools, powering student records systems, transportation, IT, maintenance, scheduling, budgeting, etc.

Writing: Not only does Lynch assert that AI is already at work helping students improve their writing skills, he confesses, "I am currently using a grammar and usage app to help me write this article."

Running down his list, Lynch also cites current uses of AI in education that include:

Classroom/Behavior Management

Lesson Planning

Classroom Audio-Visual

Parent-Teacher Communication

Language Learning

Test Prep

Assessment

Learning Management Systems

Gamification for Enhanced Student Engagement

Staff Scheduling and Substitute Management

Professional Development

Transportation

Maintenance

Finance

Cybersecurity

Safety and Security

Examples of how artificial intelligence is currently being used in higher education include:

In terms of AI-infused specific technologies now being used in education, the list grows longer every day. Here are just a few:

Thinkster Math: described by its creators as a "math tutoring program leverages human interaction and groundbreaking artificial intelligence to create personalized learning programs"

Jill Watson: an AI-enabled virtual teaching assistant introduced by the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2016

Brainly: a social media site for classroom questions

Nuance: speech recognition software used by students and faculty; capable of transcribing up to 160 words per minute; especially helpful for students who struggle with writing or have accessibility needs

Cognii: AI-based products, including a virtual learning assistant, for K-12 and higher education institutions, as well as corporate training organizations

KidSense: AI educational solutions designed for children, including a voice-to-text tool with algorithms built to recognize the sometimes harder-to-translate speech of young learners

Content Technologies: instructional design and content application solutions fueled by artificial intelligence research engines

As explained by CEO Dr. Scott Parfitt ( see video), Content Technologies Inc. develops AI learning systems that are focused on "turning big data into information, and information into knowledge."

"We send an engine out, it starts reading at light speed every article it can read. It's learned its own material," says Parfitt. The company's education-focused solutions include:

Palitt: built to help instructors easily create "your own custom lecture series, syllabus or textbook"

Cram101: AI technology that can "turn any textbook into a smart study guide complete with chapter summaries, unlimited true-false and multiple choice practice tests and flashcards all drilled down to a specific textbook, ISBN number, author and chapter."

JustTheFacts101: intended to function as the AI equivalent of an old-fashioned yellow marker, instantly highlighting and generating book and chapter-specific summaries

AI in Education [Inclusion and Universal Access]

Bernard Marr explains that AI tools can enhance inclusion and universal access to education in a number of ways, including:

Helping to "make global classrooms available to all, including those who speak different languages or who might have visual or hearing impairments"

Creating access for "students who might not be able to attend school due to illness"

Better serving "students who require learning at a different level or on a particular subject that isn't available in their own school"

Overall, it is hoped that AI will ultimately help educators make continued progress in addressing the broad range of physical, cognitive, academic, social and emotional factors that can affect student learning and ensure that all students have equal opportunity in education, regardless of their social class, race, gender, sexuality, ethnic background or physical and mental disabilities.

AI in Education [Individualized Learning]

There is also considerable optimism around the idea that, as artificial intelligence becomes a more integral part of the classroom, teachers will be better equipped to offer an individualized learning experience for every student.

According to an article in The Atlantic, ( "Artificial Intelligence Promises a Personalized Education for All"), artificial intelligence holds the potential to "enhance human teachers' abilities to tailor lessons to each student without knocking their class schedule off track," eliminating the need for educators to "teach to the middle," as often happens when their students have a range of skill levels and learning abilities.

Rose Luckin, a professor of learning-centered design at University College London, is quoted as saying that, "The real power of artificial intelligence for education is in the way that we can use it to process vast amounts of data about learners, about teachers, about teaching and learning interactions." Ultimately, AI can "help teachers understand their students more accurately, more effectively."

The Future of AI in Education

Though there continues to be widespread debate over the pros and cons of deploying AI technology in the field of education, including the concerns about depersonalization and the ethical considerations cited above, there is an emerging consensus that the extraordinary range of current and future benefits will carry the day.
This report on Artificial Intelligence in Education was developed by the University of San Diego's innovative, online Master of Science in Applied Artificial Intelligence program, an AI industry thought leader and education partner.

The Internet has changed the way life is lived and civilization interacts. AI Literacy provides a curated set of resources for parents to discuss and relate AI in their child's life.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This is a free and easy-to-use guide to support your teen learning what is AI, why it's important and how they can leverage it in their lives and careers. Because it has been designed for the average teen, it's comprised of curated short videos and a few hands-on experiments and online games to show what AI does rather than how AI does it. This is not a math, coding or technology-focused program. Help give your teen a head start because most schools don't yet offer classes on AI. We recommend that all teens learn how to code and believe it's useful for them to gain a technical understanding of AI and machine learning - so check out the free online courses in the Good Practices and Resources once your teen has completed this program.

Why should you use this Guide?

Parents do not teach - they support their teens by watching videos with them. Most parents have little or no understanding of AI and this is a program designed to help support their teens.

Designed for the average teen, no math or coding background needed. This is a learn-at-your-own pace program for teens that have the technical skills to use a smart phone.

Videos do all of the teaching. The Guide uses easy-to-understand language and short videos to explain each topic so that learning is interesting, fast and easy.

A registration-free, ad free and absolutely free program. Everything on this site is free in every sense of the word.

Prepare your teen for success. Help your teens make their best education, career and life choices by learning how AI is changing our world.

Quick Start Guide 1-2-3

1. Get ready! This Guide is divided into 13 lessons and each lesson takes most teens about 60-minute to complete. We recommend taking 2 or 3 lessons per week. But if you want to finish things quickly, taking one lesson each day means that you'll complete the Guide in less than 2 weeks. Most parents take less than 15 minutes to prepare for a lesson - by simply watching the first minute or two of each video so that you can smoothly introduce it to your teen.

2. Get set! Find a comfortable and quiet place for your teen and you to listen to the videos at home or at an ICT (computer) lab. Your teen can use a smartphone to take this program, but viewing it on a laptop results in a more comfortable learning experience.

3. Go! Read and watch the videos in the lesson. Help your teen take the self-quiz at the end of each lesson by watching a few videos and answering some questions!

Lesson 1 - Getting to Know AI (Part 1)
Summary
We live in a world transformed by artificial intelligence, or AI, and those who understand it will be able to leverage it in their lives and their careers. This lesson begins by explaining what is AI, discusses AI myths, shows how we use AI in our everyday lives and then examines the enormous potential AI for good offers humankind. But first, let's start out by having a little fun and your first AI Literacy challenge. Watch this 4-minute video, Will This Trick Your Mind, and see if AI can trick you.

Understanding AI. One way to understand what artificial intelligence is to discuss "intelligence" and then investigate the difference between "natural" intelligence and "artificial" intelligence.

Intelligence can be defined as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills, or to solve problems. Humans use memory and thinking to make decisions and remember things, and this is called human intelligence. This type of intelligence is considered "natural," since it has developed through the process of evolution and it wasn't created by something else. Natural intelligence is not limited to humans, and can be exhibited in other animals as well.

While most computers rely on a person's input through a keyboard or mouse to tell it what to do, data scientists and others have developed software that is able to learn from experiences in order to make decisions. Some computers can perform tasks that are characteristic of human intelligence, or have an "artificial" intelligence. This 6-minute video viewed about 900,000 times explains more about What Is Artificial Intelligence? And this 7-minute video AI For Good shows how AI can help us with tough problems that we don't yet know how to fix.

Here's an easy way to understand how AI learns from experience in order to make decisions. Many people have dogs as pets and train their dogs to not jump up on people and to go to the bathroom outside. Training artificial intelligence is similar to the way families train pets because it's done with encouragement, somewhat like by giving a dog a treat when the dog doesn't jump up, and through punishment, like punishing the dog if the dog has an accident in the house. Through repetition, dogs can learn tricks and similarly, machines that have been designed with artificial intelligence can learn through repetitive training.

Myths and misunderstandings about AI

Complicating people's understanding of AI are misunderstandings that many of us have about how AI will affect us. Are the robots coming? Will AI steal our jobs? Will AI wipe off humans from the planet? Will AI devalue humanity? False, false, and false. Watch Artificial Intelligence: Busting the Myths, a 10-minute very interesting documentary that discusses the top AI myths.

But I don't use AI - how we use AI in our everyday lives

Lesson 3 - When Seeing Is No Longer Believing
Summary
There's something very powerful about visual imagery. People have long relied on what they see and it's a reason why there's an old cliché that says "the camera doesn't lie" and "a picture is worth a thousand words." For as long as pictures have been around, tricksters have used them for both fun and profit by taking advantage of the fact that for most people, seeing is believing. In the past, many of these trick and fraud pictures were primitively done and many instances were unbelievable. But with the advent of artificial intelligence, it's becoming tougher to tell the difference between what is real or fake. We use the Internet to stay current with the news, share photos, and to gather information. Because images form the basis of much of what we see online, it's important to know what to believe. This lesson starts out by discussing the history of fake pictures, demonstrates how realistic fake images can look, discusses way to can tell if an image is fake, and challenges you with a test to see if you can guess which image is fake.

The history of fooling people with fake images

Fooling people with fake images is not a recent phenomenon. Since around the time that the Internet was becoming popular in the 1980s, Photoshop has been used to prank the unsuspecting and some of these pictures have gone viral to fool millions of people. Scroll through 30 Fake Viral Photos People Believed Were Real - it's a list of many of the most famous ones. Your parents may remember being emailed some of these fakes.

Amazingly real-looking images of fake people

For the last five years, AI has been in the news and several websites have recently launched to show how this technology is becoming better at creating realistic images that are completely fake. If a fake AI-generated image is worth a thousand words, then let's look at a website that serves up a rotating gallery of different faces, each looking very realistic but all of which are computer generated and totally fake. Click on ThisPersonDoesNotExist and refresh the page a few times. Can you tell that all of the images are frauds? Most people can't. AI-generated faces are a brilliant way to demonstrate how technology is getting better at manipulating images. For some mind-blowing examples of AI-generated faces watch this 2-minute video of morphing AI-Generated Faces.

Now that we know more about what fake images look like, how can you tell if a picture that you're are looking at is fake? Kyle McDonald offers nine tips about how to tell if an image is fake in his blog How to Recognize Fake AI-Generated Images. Today, it is not easy to tell real from fake and as this technology continues to improve, it will become even more difficult to do so. Can an image be part real and part fake? Watch this 2-minute video to see how AI Reconstructs Photos with Realistic Results and decide for yourself.

Which face is real - take the AI-generated fake image challenge

Okay, now that you have seen how realistic AI-generated pictures can be, here's a website that challenges you to look at two pictures and choose the one that is of a real person rather than a fake AI-generated image. Click on WhichFaceIsReal website to see how well you do. And even if you're getting most of them right, would you notice the fakes if they were just a random profile image on a website?

5. Some of the best short videos about fakes

Sometimes things aren't exactly what they appear to be and these videos give a few examples.

Introducing Google Wind, a 2-minute video has been viewed 4,400,000 times. Check it out! Did you realize it was a completely fake video? A hoax. A joke. It just goes to show you that when you see something that seems unbelievable, maybe it is.

Watch this 4-minute video Introduction to Artbreeder, it's a free part tool, part game and part social network that lets you use AI to create pictures and art. Some of this art could fake you out because it looks like a human painted it - or check this out at Artbreeder.com.

Let's have some fun and check out some optical illusions that make you see - or not see - something that's not there. Watch this 3-minute video These Illusions Prove That Your Brain Only Sees What It Wants to See.

Lesson 4 - Don't Let Deepfakes Fake You Out
Summary
Deepfakes (which are fake videos) can seem more realistic and believable than fake pictures. This lesson explains what deepfakes are, helps you tell if a video is a deepfake, shows how easy it is for almost anyone to make a deepfake, challenges you to tell which video is real and which is a deepfake, has some of the best short videos, and invites you to quiz yourself on what you've learned.

A Deepfake is a type of artificial intelligence technology that uses deep learning to alter images or videos by putting someone else's face onto the face in the original content. Doing this to media creates a puppet-like situation, making someone appear to say or do actions they are not doing in the original source. The term "deepfake" is derived by combining "deep learning" (a type of AI) and "fake" and the technology is used to produce or alter video and audio content so that it shows something that didn't occur.

Before deepfakes appeared in 2017, special effects used in movies like Jurassic Park and The Matrix enabled audiences to suspend reality and enjoy fantasy on the big screen. Movie audiences willingly agreed to suspend their belief in reality when they purchased a ticket so the line blurring reality with fantasy was not fooling anyone. Movie special effects require a skilled production team and the use of expensive software to create its final products.

Deepfake technology has changed this paradigm because special skills and expensive software are no longer needed. You may have seen deepfakes in news stories about politicians, tech executives and celebrities, and many of them look very realistic. So far, the most widely seen deepfakes have been satirical and comedic, however, they have the potential to be malicious and evil. For example, a deepfake could falsely show a politician doing something reprehensible in order to sway an election or a schoolyard bully could harass a classmate who's been targeted. Lawmakers and regulators are just beginning to grapple with the legality of deepfakes. It is not illegal to produce a deepfake but many governments are considering making it unlawful to maliciously create and distribute them.

Let's take a closer look at what deepfakes are, how they're becoming more realistic, and their potential to mislead as well as entertain, by watching a 4-minute video, Deepfake Videos Are Getting Terrifyingly Real.

Fraudsters have been manipulating videos to trick people for years, and deepfakes are only the most recent new way. To put everything into perspective, let's watch a video identifies, describes and provides three examples of the main types of manipulated videos that are designed to fool people - missing context, deceptive edits and malicious transformation - which includes deepfakes. Watch How to Spot Manipulated Videos, a 6-minute video to learn that inconsistencies around someone's face, like weird coloring or blurring as well as limited or no blinking could mean that the video is a deepfake. If someone's voice sounds a little low, their hands are moving too quickly or their face just looks off, the video may have been manipulated. For more of an in-depth video that only focuses on deepfakes and how to spot them, watch this 2-minute video, How to Spot A Deepfake video.

Another way of determining if a video is a deepfake or has otherwise been manipulated is to use your critical thinking skills and be skeptical when a video doesn't seem completely believable or quite right. If you've not yet covered this in an English or philosophy class, click on the link to watch a 2-minute video and try your luck at solving a brain teaser challenge, at Using Brain Teasers to Build Critical Thinking Skills.

It turns out that it's surprisingly easy to produce a deepfake, even without using any special equipment or creating a special environment.

When I was a student, I started out by using two video clips of comedian Will Farrell impersonating President George W. Bush and a clip of President Bush speaking. Using a free face-swapping deepfake site, I spent 10 minutes configuring the settings before letting an algorithm on the site track each face so that it could map one face onto the other. The next morning, my deepfake video was ready. Because I didn't want to spend much time or any money, the results are a little less realistic than some of the other deepfakes that I've seen. And the technology has improved since I made it. However, if someone thought that they were watching an actual video of President Bush, this deepfake would make the video seem more realistic. Click on An Example How Deepfakes Enhance the Realism of a Video to watch a 90-second video that I created demonstrating how almost anyone can make a deepfake that enhances the realism of a video.

4. Some of the best short videos about deepfakes

Here are several great resources that focus on deepfakes, a deep dive in how to spot a deepfake, the main types of manipulated videos designed to fool, the harm they create, ways to tell if a video may be a deepfake or not, and what you can do if you become the victim of a deepfake.

Lesson 5 - Ethical AI - Why Ethical AI Is So Important (Part 1)

Summary

Ethical AI is an important and deceptively complicated subject This lesson begins by explaining what ethical AI means and then discusses why it's so important.

How can biased data create AI that's unethical? As one example, in 2016, Microsoft released a chatbot called Tay on Twitter. Tay was designed to learn by engaging people in dialogue through tweets or direct messages. Trolls quickly inundated Tay with evil, racist and nasty messages (this was the biased data) and within hours, taught Tay to give vile and ugly responses. Twitter users became outraged by Tay's toxic responses and in less than 24 hours, Microsoft silenced Tay forever. Watch this 2-minute video to see what happened in Unsurprisingly, Microsoft's AI bot Tay was tricked into being racist.

Machine learning and human bias is a 3-minute video that explains how human, interaction and latent bias affects one of the types of AI that's called machine learning.

Besides using unbiased data, ethical AI products require the use of the correct learning model which means the right math is used to calculate the results. Sometimes, this is called algorithmic accountability. When unbiased data is used in combination with training models that have algorithmic accountability, it avoids Biases (that) are being baked into artificial intelligence that are explained in this 3-minute video.

Few people worry if the AI software that draws cats is ethical. However, when AI is used in medicine, law enforcement, recruiting, data privacy, military defense or self-driving vehicles, the AI must produce transparent and understandable results that reflect the ethical standards and norms of our society.

As examples, AI that's not ethical could result in:

Biased law enforcement or job candidate recruiting producing discriminatory results

AI products that erode people's privacy or misuse their data in unintended ways

Military defense or self-driving vehicles where the AI makes decisions that are impossible for people to understand and to access liability for damages when harm is caused.

Let's learn more about risks, face recognition tech and AI's moral code by watching these videos:

Lesson 6 - Ethical AI - Why Ethical AI Is So Important (Part 2)
Summary
This continues our discussion about ethical AI by giving you a challenge to show you why it's so difficult to develop, discusses how we can work together to build ethical AI, invites you to watch some of the best short videos on ethical AI and concludes with a few videos and questions.

1. Take this challenge to learn why is it so difficult to develop ethical AI

We all know the difference between right and wrong, so why is it difficult to develop ethical AI? This turns out to be much harder than it may appear because the data scientists developing the AI must build it so that it makes decisions that are moral and acceptable to society in a complex world where the unexpected can happen.

An experiment with ethical AI - what would you do?

Let's pretend that you're a data scientist who is developing AI for self-driving vehicles, such as a trolley or a car, that will use your AI to make driving decisions. Now, click on the link and watch this 1-minute YouTube video, The Trolley Problem.

How would you design the self-driving trolley's AI? Would you build it so that the trolley stays on its tracks and kills six people? Or would you instead design it to switch to a second track and kill only one person? What's righter and fairer?

Would your decision be different if the one person on the second track were a close family member, such as your brother or sister? Would your answer change if a mom and her three little children were on the first track? These are difficult decisions. There's no easy answer and this is an example of the type of ethical decisions that data scientists have to make. Watch a 4-minute video, The ethical dilemma of self-driving cars to learn more how this issue affects the development of self-driving cars.

Take the challenge! Are you ready to test your ethical AI skills and answer some tricky question to see how they compare with others? Take the Moral Machine challenge and compare your results to the answers of more than a million other people!

Artificial intelligence is growing by leaps and bounds. It's no longer science fiction anymore!

Lots of AI tools can serve as our own personal assistants -- answering questions, helping us write text, create images, speak more effectively, and more.

Time has always been a barrier in the classroom. Most teachers would agree that they would be able to do more -- including the things that are most important -- if they had more time.

Teachers can find AI tools that are ready to help them out right now. Lots of them are free or have "freemium" plans with limited free options.

Below is a description of AI and how you can start using it to support your work in class.

What is artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of a computer or machine to perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, decision-making, and more. There are several different approaches to building AI systems, including machine learning, where a system is trained on a dataset and can improve its performance over time, and rule-based systems, where the system follows a set of predetermined rules to make decisions.

AI can be applied to a wide range of areas, including natural language processing, image and video recognition, robotics, and more. The goal of AI research is to create systems that can perform tasks at least as well as, or ideally better than, humans. AI has the potential to revolutionize many industries and transform the way we live and work, but it also raises important ethical and social questions.

30 AI tools for the classroom

We have gathered 30 of our favorite AI tools for the classroom below. You can scroll down and check them all out or jump to any category of tools by clicking on the icon below.

Richard Byrne from Free Technology for Teachers produced some helpful videos about using Slick Write.

Your document is automatically saved to your browser's local storage. You might want to disable this feature if you are working on a shared computer. If you are working on a novel, submit it one or two chapters at a time to avoid the limit. Don't forget to click "Check" after altering the document.

I know what I'm doing. Disable these hints.

There is a limit of 200,000 characters, which is approximately 30,000 words. Anything longer should be submitted in smaller chunks, or it will be automatically trimmed.

It looks like you forgot to enter your document. Paste it in and try again.

This is where you'll find tools to help you critique your work.

I know what I'm doing. Disable these hints.

This tab shows stylistic features and flaws within the document. Click an underlined region, or highlight a word or phrase to get more information. If you make any changes here, remember to resubmit to get updated feedback.

I know what I'm doing. Disable these hints.

This tab shows sentence structure within the context of the document. Hover over a sentence to see its word count. Select a word or phrase, or click a sentence to get more information.

This tab shows your quotations highlighted as Slick Write sees them.

This tool helps you eliminate or enhance repetition. For ease of use, the areas with the least variety will always be bright red, and those with the most variety will always be bright green. Therefore, red regions are not necessarily mistakes, though they do warrant a closer look. Clicking on a word will display a list of the most common words that are nearby. This will help you decide if the area needs to be reworked.

I know what I'm doing. Disable these hints.

Variety is an important factor in the reader's level of interest. This tab shows graphical distributions of sentence type, length, and word length. Each is a moving average, with word length weighted to the sentences before and after. Remember that rolling waves are good, flatness is boring, and choppiness is jarring. Flow can be altered by adding, removing, lengthening, shortening, combining, or splitting sentences. If you don't see the peaks and valleys in the graphs, try tilting your head to the right. Click each type of meter for more specific explanations.

I know what I'm doing. Disable these hints.

Pieces with good flow will make use of all four sentence types, varying them to keep the reader interested.

Sentence length is indirectly related to sentence type, and is a good indicator of flow. Flow can be altered by adding, removing, lengthening, shortening, combining, or splitting sentences. Long sentences will be indicated by a red line on the graph. Sentences that flow poorly with their surroundings will be orange, and the source of the problem can often be found in a nearby sentence.

Word length is a minor contributor to overall flow, but even minor variations are signs of good rhythm.

This tab shows repeated words and phrases plus a wealth of other statistics.

I know what I'm doing. Disable these hints.

This is a measure of how frequently the passive voice is used. Consider revising your document if it scores over 100.

Prepositional Phrase Index

This is a measure of how frequently prepositional phrases are used. Consider revising your document if it scores over 100.

Automated Readability Index

This is an estimate of the minimum grade level required to understand the text. For more comfortable reading and better comprehension, aim three to five grade levels below the target audience's expected level of education. Popular novels aimed at American adults tend to be written in the 7th to 9th grade range, which mirrors the reading capability of the average American adult.
More information "

Sentence length is a major contributor to the level of education required to read a body of text.

Sentence length standard deviation

This is a measure of the amount of variation in the length of a text's sentences. In texts that have broad appeal, this tends to fall between 50 and 90% of the average sentence length. You can increase this number by making long sentences longer, and short ones shorter.

Sentence deviation to length ratio

This is a measure of the sentence variety, and a major contributor to flow. Most novels score between 0.5 and 0.9, and popular ones often score near the high end of the range. You can increase this number by making long sentences longer, and short ones shorter.

Resubmit to see configuration changes take effect.

I know what I'm doing. Disable these hints.

Use this preset when you're only interested in the stats tab. Critique and Flow will be hidden.

This preset checks for common indicators of deception, either by lying or omission, and is based on the findings of this study. Areas with high concentrations of these indicators should be viewed with skepticism. Note that the presence or absence of these indicators does not guarantee that a statement is true or false, and that the study was done on spoken communications, so it might be more applicable to interviews and speeches. As always, use your brain.

A word used twice in a row may be a typo.

This will check for the internet's most frequently confused words and notify you if it looks like you misused one. It is experimental and probably the least reliable feature. Consult a dictionary when necessary.

Sentences starting with the same word

A word should not be used to start more than one sentence in a single paragraph.

It is considered poor style to place coordinating conjunctions at either end of a sentence. Placing a subordinating conjunction at the end of a sentence is against the rules.

Many people believe that prepositions don't belong at the end of a sentence, though Grammar Girl disagrees.
More information "

A transitive verb is preceded by an auxilliary verb such as "be" or "get." It is the standard in scientific writing, but is frowned on in most other genres.

Example:

It is said that one day, passive voice will bring weakness to your prose.

More information "
Even more information "

Words like "very" and "really" make sentences wordier and weaken your message. These can be deleted in almost all cases without affecting the meaning of the sentence.

Abstract words lack specificity and overusing them can make even simple concepts difficult to understand. There are times when abstract words are desirable or even necessary; it would be difficult to write about math or programming without mentioning variables or functions, but you should use more specific terms whenever possible.

Wordy and redundant phrases

These phrases make your writing more difficult to understand. In most cases, they can be replaced with one or two words, or even deleted.

These antiquated, arcane words and phrases will make your writing look like a contract.

Double negatives are almost always poor style.

They aren't bad in small quantities, but consider revising your document if more than 5.5% of its words are adverbs. Adverbs ending in "-ly" are considered the worst offenders.

They aren't bad in small quantities. A few of the words on this list can also function as other parts of speech. You have been warned.

In formal writing, the use of contractions is considered a fault.

Slang can add character to fiction, but should be avoided in formal writing

Example:

The boxer decked his opponent.

Profanity should not be used in formal writing outside of direct quotations.

These over-used, informal phrases should be avoided like the plague under most circumstances.

Example:

The critic's scathing review hit the nail on the head.

Similes and metaphors should be used sparingly. This option will detect most common types of similes.

Some people think that these substitutes for "said" are weak or obnoxious, especially if overused.

Using any form of "be" before an adjective weakens the description. Try rewriting the sentence without the unnecessary verb. This will give it a more lively feel, which improves the flow of the surrounding paragraph.

Example:

Bad:

Her dress was long, and it touched the floor.

Good:

Her long dress touched the floor.

Avoid using gender-specific pronouns in formal writing when the subject's gender is unknown.

Like abstract words, weasel words and phrases lack specificity. At best, they convey uncertainty. At worst, they can be used to "weasel out" of telling the truth in a straightforward manner. When checking a document that is speculative by nature, you might want to disable this detector.

According to this study, high concentrations of third person pronouns may indicate deception.

These words and phrases often show the author's bias.

Uncommon words will increase the document's reading difficulty.

An independent clause is a group of words that contains a noun and a verb, and could stand alone as a sentence. Every sentence has at least one, and any additional ones must begin with a comma or semicolon. If this app detects an overabundance of complex sentences, it probably means that they are missing punctuation.

Example:

Hot peppers burn my mouth, but I eat them anyway.
More information "

A dependent clause is a group of three or more words that contains a noun and a verb, but can't form a sentence. They will usually be preceded by a subordinating word.

Example:

Since burritos taste good, I like to eat them.
More information "

A sentence must have at least one noun and one verb. Anything that does not is a fragment, and if it occurs outside of dialog, it should probably be rewritten.

A complex sentence has one independent clause, and one or more dependent clauses. If this app detects an overabundance of complex sentences, it probably means you are missing punctuation. See the independent clause section for help with this.
More information "

Compound-complex sentences

A compound-complex sentence has more than one independent clause, and one or more dependent clauses.
More information "

Long sentences tend to be more difficult to read, making them good candidates for trimming or splitting. Alternatively, parallelism may be used to improve their readability, though this will not decrease the ARI score.

Add or subtract prepositional phrases and adjectives to modify your work's flow by changing sentence lengths.

Use the settings tab to tailor the stats and critique to your needs.

Flow is an important factor in reader engagement. Be sure to check it at the end of your polishing process.

Play the word association game in the tools tab when you have writer's block.

Need a writing prompt? Plug a word or phrase into the associator, and try to write a story using as many of the associated words as possible.

The critique tab highlights more than mistakes. Click highlighted text to get more information, and decide for yourself what the best course of action is.

When editing a large document, check it in smaller chunks to get fast responses.

Novelists and journalists might want to critique dialog separately or not at all. You can change how dialog is handled in the settings tab.

When you're only interested in one or two stylistic features, use the Blank Slate preset to turn everything else off.
