Introduction to AI 2

 When I started looking for information about AI, I starated with this; The Future of AI, by Steve Hargadon. Steve is a well-known educator whom I respect. There are video discussions about the issues surrounding AI. I think it must have been a beginner’s guide, because the videos only run from April to August of last year, but it’s a good place to start. Next, I visited Learning Revolution, again by Steve Hargadon. This site looks more current than The Future of AI.


I also found Experience AI for teachers, by Google DeepMind and Raspberry Pi Foundation. This web site has lessons for teachers to teach students. Not sure how effective they are, written by non-teachers, but I have downloaded one lesson. 


At TechLearning, they discussed the benefit AI will provide because it requires higher-level thinking skills.


 Illinois’ Learning Technology Program Has a workshop today, which I am missing! Darn! 


I was shocked to see how many AI platforms are already up and running. Here are just a few;

GE Gemini (Google)

GPT (OpenAI)

CL Claude, (Anthropic)

CO Copilot (Microsoft)

LAT Latimer (Future Sum)

LEO Leo (Brave)

META Meta (Meta)

PER Perplexity (Perplexity)

PI Pi (Inflection)

POE Poe (Quora)

YC YouthCat (Discord)


These were a few collated by a presenter whose name I did not get. Please message me if that is you, so I can give you credit.


That’s all for today, but do take a look at these and see what you can learn.
