This week, we discussed the importance of Artificial Intelligence in our daily lives.

You may not know it, but you use AI everywhere and every part of your daily life. Every time we open our phones it uses facial recognition to unlock the phone, using AI. Every time we scan a QR code in Covid times, we use AI.

In our classrooms, we utilize artificial intelligence to help our students in their learning process. For example, when teaching French or Spanish, students can use the language learning app Duolingo to practice. When they use Duolingo, students speak into a microphone and the “Owl” will assess how well they said the phrase. As well, Siri is a form of AI. 

Our world is moving into more and more of a technology based environment. This is why it’s so important to prepare our students with skills on how to utilize AI to serve them in the best way possible.

I found this fascinating video on how to teach AI to our students in the future, linked down below.
