Becci Peters and Ben Davies: AI Teaching Support from Computing at School
Description
In this episode, Becci Peters and Ben Davies discuss their work with Computing at School (CAS), an initiative backed by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, which boasts 27,000 dedicated members who support computing teachers. Through their efforts with CAS, they've noticed that many teachers still feel uncomfortable about AI technology, and many schools are grappling with uncertainty around AI policies and how to implement them. There's also a noticeable digital divide based on differing school budgets for AI tools. Keeping these challenges in mind, their efforts don’t just focus on technical skills; they aim to help more teachers grasp AI principles and understand important ethical considerations like data bias and the limitations of training models. They also work to equip educators with a critical mindset, enabling them to make informed decisions about AI usage.
