USING AI IN TEACHING

 Hello, forest dwellers!

Today we will talk about a very popular yet controversial topic: Artificial Intelligence. Some love it, some hate it. Either way, AI is there to stay and we need to learn how to incorporate it into our teaching practices.

For this activity we needed to create an assignment where students would utilize AI and learn from it. We chose a storytelling activity that will teach them how to utilize ChatGPT but also foster their own creativity.

We first made a material that included the elements of the story. After that, we thought of the activity itself and lastly, we wrote the questions students should answer after the activity.

Overall it was a bit hard to think of questions that would aid students but we managed.

Here is our lesson plan for the AI task and

Here is our material

Feel free to share your thoughts! Did you like our AI task? Would you use AI in your assignments or do you think students should not learn AI prompting at all? 

See you later, forest dwellers. Hope you have a wonderful winter break!

OPENING OUR EYES TO NEW REALITY

 Hello and welcome back forest dwellers!

Have you ever wished you could wake up in another reality? I think all of us must have, at some point. While we cannot actually do that, we can come close with AR/VR technologies !

AR stands for "Augmented Reality" while VR stands for "Virtual Reality. AR mixes the real world with the virtual/digital while VR is an entire world by itself.

AR/VR technologies are very useful in teaching effectively. Which is why we have been assigned to design a lesson plan and materials using these.

We chose our topic as touring a city and chose Japan. We first tried to think of the attractions a tourist might want to see and which have 360 tours. After that, we thought of questions to go with the places we have picked.

We also chose a museum and repeated the process. The museum had a virtual tour which would help students answer the questions.

Here are our  materials and here is our lesson plan! I hope you check it out and share your opinions : ) What do you think? Do you think AR/VR technologies are the future of education?

See you soon, forest dwellers!
