This innovative unit challenges students to critically examine artificial intelligence's role in our world. Through self-generated inquiries and rigorous research, learners investigate AI applications across various sectors, analyzing both benefits and ethical concerns. Students engage in collaborative discussions, honing their ability to articulate complex ideas and consider diverse perspectives. The unit culminates in multimedia presentations showcasing their findings on AI's societal impact, fostering digital literacy and responsible technology integration skills essential for 21st-century citizens.

As a librarian and a technology integrator we have spent the year exploring how to incorporate AI in a way that helps students think about media literacy anew. With AI being an everchanging technology teachers need to approach the topic with a flexible mindset. Our goal is for students to be able to successfully navigate the technology and critically think about its application. In this session we will share the lessons we have done with students and the workshops we have led with teachers. Participants will walk away with lesson ideas and new teacher tools to add to their repitoire.
