Biases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Machine learning bias, also known as algorithmic bias, is when a system creates unfair outcomes due to assumptions made by the machine learning process (Gillis). These can include algorithm, sample, prejudice, measurement, exclusion, selection, and recall biases. These hidden biases can result in misleading information, misrepresentation, and overall a false perception.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to be aware of the biases before using AI. Instead of just accepting what the computer says, we have to be critical of the AI recommendations and sources that we get our information or data from. After all, AI is just a tool, it should not be abused by allowing it to control our thoughts and ideas. Another way to rectify AI is by looking at an AI\u2019s recommendations in regards to race, gender, and age to check for discrimination. Knowing this information and staying alert for red flags such as these, can help determine what AI tools Before introducing AI tools in my classroom, I like to try it out myself by learning how to navigate it, seeing what the expectations are, and deciding how to implement it best. When sharing it with my students, I share the expectations of the AI tool with them, how to use it, and what the objective is. To continually use an AI tool in my classroom, it\u2019s important for me, as a teacher, and my students to see the ways that it will benefit and represent the diverse learners in my classroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TCE Concepts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Curriculum is co-constructed\n
      \n
    • In order for AI to be executed well in the classroom, teachers have to have a good understanding of it – like anything they teach. It is important to be familiar with the tools that AI can provide that students can use. It\u2019s important for students to be aware of the limits that they can reach while using AI and believing in their capabilities with it. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Curriculum is more than standards, textbooks, or courses of study\n
        \n
      • Although AI can assist in meeting standards in the classroom, it can easily go beyond what normal instruction can do by meeting the specific needs of diverse learners and providing tools that can help students take their learning beyond the classroom. With AI meeting these needs, I believe students can feel more successful while in the learning environment which will help give them the confidence and tools that will help them be successful outside of the classroom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
