I decided to focus on Bias for this task. As a social studies teacher, this topic can be discussed amongst the various time periods of history where were study injustice, inequality and conflict. Historical examples of biases could be used as a spring board to teach about the current enduring issue of racial bias in our data systems.
I was really intrigued with the "Gender Shades" video on Algorithmic Bias and the video on Political Bias in Chat GPT. These forms of algorithmic bias highlight larger issues that are occurring in our nation- racism, Gender Inequality and inequity of resources. In my classroom, I hope use these provided resources to teach digital literacy skills. I would try to encourage students to spot bias when apparent and use a variety of tools to eliminate this as much as possible.
