Concurrent Session IV: 2:10 PM – 3:10 PM, EST (60 minutes)
Workshop 1: Towards a Transdisciplinary Approach to AI Education
By Aditi Singh (Kent State University) and Eryka Wilson (Keiser University)
This presentation explores the AI program piloted in Neom Community School and the larger Education, Research, and Innovation Sector in Neom, Saudi Arabia’s new megacity under development. In this program, AI is both taught as a distinct subject and as a means of learning about other subjects within the school’s curriculum, which deploys instruction through “Units of Inquiry.” This approach to education connects subjects across a curriculum under one major guiding question at a time. Introducing AI in this way presents an impactful approach to teaching AI, as it shifts AI from a subject that students “like” or “not like” to a subject that supports holistic transdisciplinary.
Target Audience: K-12 Teachers
Workshop 2: Teaching Modeling to Understand AI, Based on the 6E Lesson Plan Design Stages
By Woonhee Sung (The University of Texas at Tyler)
This workshop will address ways to teach AI modeling concepts based on the 6E learning stages. Understanding modeling is part of AI Literacy. The tasks are designed to promote understanding toward modeling AI uses, as part of machine learning. The tasks will include scaffolding questions that teachers can think about and apply in their real-world practices.
Target Audience: 3-8 Teachers
Workshop 3: You Can Teach AI - K-2 Grade Band
By Vicky Sedgwick (Laurence School)
This session will introduce ideas and resources you need to integrate AI literacy in your K-2 lessons.
Target Audience: K-2 Teachers
Workshop 4: You Can Teach AI - 9-12 Grade Band
By Rebecca Bailey (Computer Science Teachers Association California Far North Chapter)
This session will introduce ideas and resources you need to integrate AI literacy in your 9-12 lessons
Target Audience: 9-12 Teachers
