Is artificial intelligence something we should be afraid of in K-12? It’s a good question, and there is certainly enough fear-mongering of all manner on the worldwide web that would suggest that we should fear…. something? What something?

I spent some time thinking about this question, and what I determined is that my biggest fear is that teachers will not start using these powerful tools right away to make their jobs easier, and to improve the efficiency of their classrooms.

I will be publishing ideas, tutorials and lessons for teachers to help get started with using these powerful tools, because with intentional use, there is nothing to fear!

I spent some time this weekend learning how to do the “bulk create” process within Canva for education. When learning a new skill, I prefer to create relevant content that can be used by teachers. So, for this learning process, I have created some “bellringers” for the Alberta science curriculum – grades 7, 8 and 9. To kick off the release of these bellringers, here is the link to my YouTube channel Interactions and Ecosystems Bellringers playlist. Over the coming days, many more videos will be uploaded, and playlists for other units and other grades will be forthcoming too!!
