Jefferson Academy:  Sparking Inspiration Transforming Education Through Technology

Great place to find new ideas!

I was inspired to use the magnifying glass which helped me to find everything I need.

I was inspired to use Keynote for fifth graders to create interactive presentations, empowering them to showcase their learning with creativity and confidence.

Today I was inspired to use platforms such as keynote to encourage students to share what they learn in class to teach their peers.

I have been using AI through Canva to create coloring pages for activities.. it has ended up being both fun and but also a great way to discuss the limitations of AI.

If you look at this image - you will see there are extra legs. there are legs that don't match up with the bodies. There is an extra hand on the girl on the right.

So we can talk about how AI may not be the best tool for creating art especially those with humans or with words (other ones I tried to make had all kinds of weird words etc.)

In a science or cognition frame of mind, we can also discuss how our mind completes images to have them make sense. In fact, you probably won't notice all the problems with the image until you color it..

it is a great opportunity to discuss when technology is the right tool and when it is not.
