There is so much information to explore at code.org.  I decided to explore a  lesson plan on Digital Citizenship, as my fourth graders are so new to social media, but really have limited knowledge in the area..  The lesson plan was very complete..  It included the suggestion time frame for each part of the lesson, as well as the lesson purpose, standards, and an agenda with all the links for media, like videos and specific lesson activities. The wrap up involved students making a comic strip for their learning. It was really good! . This is just one lesion in a series on Digital Citizenship. What a great way to provide specific information to younger kids, and it's all at our fingertips with AI. This is where I would continue to explore more lessons in this series.

Have your thoughts changed about using AI in the classroom?  What else might you want to learn about with this topic?

I think the use of AI in the classroom can be such an effective tool if we can find some ways to start incorporating it into our daily lessons and projects. I have learned so much through these badges, and my biggest takeaway is that AI is a huge time saver and can really help find new and creative ways to teach and bring technology to the elementary classroom.
