Hello, fellow educators and students!
I'm thrilled to share with you a new initiative that I've been working on: "Eh Eye - Examining Canadian Artificial Intelligence in K-12 Education." As a K-12 teacher with a passion for innovation and a deep commitment to preparing our students for the future, I'm developing this program to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and ethical understanding necessary to thrive in an AI-driven world. Why "Eh Eye"? Well, as Canadians, we have a unique perspective to offer in the realm of AI education. With our diverse society, commitment to inclusivity, and emphasis on ethical considerations, we're well-positioned to lead the way in shaping the future of AI in Canada. So, what can students expect from "Eh Eye"? Let me walk you through the four pillars of the developing program: 1. **Understanding AI Fundamentals:** We'll start by diving into the basics of AI, including machine learning and neural networks. We'll build a strong foundation in AI principles that will serve as the cornerstone of our learning journey. 2. **Ethical Considerations:** Ethics are at the heart of everything we do, and AI is no exception. We'll explore the ethical implications of AI, from bias and privacy concerns to algorithmic transparency, and learn how to navigate these complexities with integrity and responsibility. 3. **AI in Canadian Society:** AI is transforming every aspect of Canadian society, from healthcare to education. We'll examine its impact and discover how AI is shaping our collective future, empowering you to become active participants in this exciting evolution. 4. **Future-Ready Skills:** As AI continues to reshape the workforce, it's essential for you to develop future-ready skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and adaptability. With "Eh Eye," students will gain the skills needed to thrive in an AI-rich world. I'm truly excited to embark on this journey with my students and explore the endless possibilities of AI education in Canada. Together, we'll unlock the power of AI and pave the way for a brighter future. It's a True North lens on AI for K-12 students and educators. I'll share the completed program when it is ready! |
