Vocational Focus: Grade 11 The Internet, AI and me

In this workshop we are going to explore how to use AI and the Internet ethically and creatively, learning as we go. We are going to answer questions like:

  • Can we use AI to do our homework and write our school essays?  Will we get away with it?
  •  How can we use AI to learn? 
  • How do we know that information is true or fake?

By the end of the session you will be able to:  

  • Explain what AI, Google search and the Internet are and how they are different. 
  • Use AI ethically, critically, creatively and responsibly. 
  • Create your own AI assistant (Gem)
  • Use AI to help you study. 
  • Earn your AI certificate.
