AI as an Electric Bike not a Robot Vacuum

“We envision a technology - enhanced future more like an electric bike and less like 
robot vacuums. On an electric bike, the human is fully aware and fully in control, 
but their burden is less and their effort is multiplied by a complementary 
technological enhancement.”

- U.S. Department of Education, Office of Educational Technology, Artificial 
Intelligence and Future of Teaching and Learning: Insights and 
Recommendations, Washington, DC, 2023.

Humans in Control of AI

Venn Diagram with two circles around it. The outermost circle says Within an educational system perspective, the next circle says Humans in the loop. The center circle of the Venn diagram says center students teachers. It is surrounded by circles that read: Privacy Data Security: Aligned to our Vision for Learning; Inspectable, Explainable, Overridable; Minimize Bias Promote Fairness; Context-Aware Effective Across Contexts; Transparent, Accountable Responsible Use.

AI Prompting 101

•Prompting AI is different than conducting a Google search 
•Effective searches are short, concise and cast a wide net 
•Effective prompts describe clearly and specifically what you want the LLM to 
produce



AI Prompting 102

1.Define the role you want the AI to assume 
-Begin your prompt with “You are a master occupational therapist” 
2.Define the task you want the AI to complete 
-“Create a choice board that helps students work on their pincher grasp.” 
3.Add important details to make sure that you get the results you want 
-“The choice board should allow for a wide variety of fine motor activities. 
Materials available include crayons, markers, playdough, close pins, and string.”


Remember that you are having a conversation and can ask for revisions to your results
