Taking Control of Artificial Intelligence: Building Awareness for 21st century Teaching and Learning
Oide Creativity, in collaboration with the ADAPT research centre, presents a half day Saturday STE(A)M elective workshop, open to all post-primary teachers.
This workshop offers participants an opportunity to:
Understand how algorithms and AI impact the information we see online, including how they can be used in the creation of mis and disinformation.
Explore and Engage with interactive digital resources (eye openers, quizzes and a digital game) designed to improve algorithmic and AI literacy for students (aged 13+). These resources focus on content about democracy and citizenship, climate change, health and wellbeing and online relationships.
Reflect on how this knowledge, and these resources, could be used in the classroom to support learning and encourage young people to think critically about the ethical and effective use of algorithms and AI.
Day & Date: Saturday, 8th February 2025 Time: 10:00 to 13:00 Venue: Drumcondra Education Centre Lunch: Lunch will be provided after the workshop
Please note: we will not be training people to use generative AI. No prior knowledge of AI or games is required. Attendees should bring an internet enabled digital device – laptop or tablet.
