Dive Brief:

  • Districts looking to teach artificial intelligence lessons in middle and high school do not need to invest heavily in technology resources nor launch a separate stand-alone class: Instead, stakeholders and educators can begin by talking with students about ways they already use AI without even knowing it.

  • Students may not be aware that many applications they use daily are powered by artificial intelligence, from Google search results to music and video suggestions in Spotify and TikTok, said Nancye Blair Black, project lead for an ISTE and General Motors partnership, AI Explorations and Their Practical Use in School Environments.

  • When students discover how much is powered by AI and that they can use it themselves to create apps, design art or solve problems, Black said, “they are often inspired to find out more about how it works, how to best use it, and how it impacts them and the world around them.”

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
