Reflection – Assessment One (Part C)

For this assessment task, I investigated AI in education, a teacher’s guide. This was after many challenges I faced at the start of the unit, changing my topic, learning a new concept of developing a website, dipping into ChatGPT as it was new, everyone was talking about it and it had many flaws (plagiarism), amongst its benefits. Additionally, I felt I was jumping over hurdles as I tried to understand what a digital artefact was. I was certainly head deep, but I challenged myself and somehow got through it.

In Canberra, teachers can use AI-tools to assist with lesson plans, however, students have restricted access in public schools and networks. Teachers, must follow the Australian Framework for Generative Artificial Intelligence in Schools together with the Australian Curriculum v9 on AI when planning and using DC. Senior secondary schools (Years 11/12) in the ACT, need to follow the Guide to AI in the ACT Senior Secondary System Framework (BSSS, 2023).

Moving forward, on a class level I feel more confident to create engaging lessons ensuring students learn how to be positive digital citizens. On a school level, shared knowledge with colleagues through learning new digital concepts aligned with school goals and curriculum content enhances opportunities for the whole school community. Lastly, on a personal level I will aim to develop, understand, and implement digital citizenship and new technological concepts to enhance my teaching techniques and empower my students’ learning journey, as well as having the knowledge of using such tools when I become a teacher librarian improving on my skills and knowledge into DC and AI.
