The teachers and students be gan this learning with very little prior knowledge of AI.\n\nMartin Richar ds (Education Services Australia)\, Leonie Shapter (Woodcroft College)\, E than Wildman (Pilgrim School) and Libby Spencer (Pilgrim School) will shar e how they developed their knowledge and understanding of AI to create uni ts of work that enabled their students to successfully navigate the incred ible world of Artificial Intelligence.\n\nThe Woodcroft College students d eveloped a Machine Learning Model using Google’s Teachable Machine that could identify common waste types found in school bins. The purpose was to create a visual model used in conjunction with a Scratch based program to enable students to identify the waste and sort it into the correct bins. While training their machine students learnt about the limitations of data and what they would require to refine their model. Having an authentic co nnection between digital technology\, science and sustainability provided an avenue for students to create a viable solution to a real-life problem. \n\nThe Pilgrim School students developed an understanding of machine lear ning and how to categorise emojis. They developed sophisticated content ma stery of AI in relation to teachable machines and could discuss why it was important for consistency in data for the machine to recognise key facial features to correctly categorise the emoji face. The students were also a ble to articulate why it was important for a large data set to help ‘tea ch’ the machine\, and that developing ‘prototypes’ and ‘controls ’ were an integral part of the cyclic process of machine teaching.\n\nMa rtin Richards is a Content Manager at Education Services Australia (ESA) a nd leads the Content development for the Digital Technologies Hub. Martin has led the development of resources to support teachers to implement Digi tal Technologies. In his most recent work\, Martin has collaborated with e xperts in the field of Artificial Intelligence to develop innovative lesso ns to enable teachers to deliver this exciting area into their classrooms. \n\n2022 sessions:\n\n8 March\, 4.00 pm – 5.00 pm\n17 May\, 4.00 pm – 5.00 pm\n7 June\, 4.00 pm – 5.00 pm\n9 August\, 4.00 pm – 5.00 pm\n23 August\, 4.00 pm – 5.00 pm\n1 November\, 4.00 pm – 5.00 pm\n\n \;\ n\nTarget audience – STEM professionals\, teachers and school leaders\n\ nDelivery mode – Zoom\n\nPresenters – Guest presenters\, and Aleida Ma barrack\, Senior Educational Consultant\, AISSA\n\n \;\n\nFor registra tion enquiries please contact Emily Metelmann.\n\nA Zoom link will be sent closer to the event CATEGORIES:Professional Learning END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Australia/Adelaide X-LIC-LOCATION:Australia/Adelaide BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20211003T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0930 TZOFFSETTO:+1030 TZNAME:ACDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
