* Your Assignment
* Now that you have had a chance to explore these tools (and any others that may have piqued your curiosity in one of the articles), it is time to put your skills to the test.
* Your activity this week will be to generate a lesson plan with an AI tool. This activity will be your opportunity to work on and iterate on a lesson that you want to make better. The lesson should be text-based, but you could augment your lesson with an AI-generated image to take your lesson to the next level!
* As you work through this task, remember that you want to follow the rules about designing a good prompt, and after you have used your prompt in your AI tool, revise and refine the output.
* This work, along with an image if you want to create one, can be posted in the discussion forum. Your post should include:
1. Start your post with a very brief discussion of (1) the context of the lesson and (2) a reflection on the experience of using the AI Tool(s).
2. Discussions will be set up so you can post to your group, but also see the AI Influenced lessons of your colleagues.

* Goals and Objectives We will explore how AI can be used to amplify inquiry-based activities in the classroom. This conversation will also be coupled with ways to establish classroom norms that influence the overall culture and climate of the classroom and a student’s willingness to assume more responsibility for their own learning.
* Develop a preliminary framework for AI Literacy.
* Anticipate ethical considerations for using AI in schools.
* Build capacity and understanding for the AI to generate biased materials and reveal bias
* Learn and experiment with AI tools that facilitate the social aspects of learning, enabling interest-driven research and exploration, authentic communication, and reflection.
*
* Framing the Big Ideas This is a transformative time, full of potential and promise. Yet the growing harms of AI remind us that the gap between promise and reality cannot be ignored.
