Cross-course collaboration
Comptuational literacies as a framework for AI education
In fall 2024, Critical Computational Literacies will be structured as an extended case study of how computational literacies can be used to think about K12 AI education. The course will cover the usual syllabus, but will apply the theoretical ideas in the context of a school community wrestling with how AI is changing learning, and how the school should respond. Over the semester, students will meet with school leaders, interview members of the school community, and contribute to a white paper analyzing how AI is changing multiple facets of the school community such as student social life, teacher stress, and parental expectations.
Identifying focus areas
The first step in our collaboraion is to identify focus areas: specific technologies and specific groups of people being affected by them, which we want to research.
