I wanted to share my experience in watching GenAI (gen ai) trainings written specially for school students. What I found thru this effort may be of service to other teachers struggling to properly presenting how to properly use AI.
The first thing that caught my attention was the graphics: simple, engaging, and well-structured capable of capturing students’ attention without boring them after just a few minutes.
The format of the presentation is also effective: it’s not a monologue, but a dialogue between a teacher and their students. This makes the explanation more engaging and accessible, avoiding the monotone tone that often drives young viewers away.
The concepts related to artificial intelligence are explained clearly and understandably, even for those with little technological background. The video effectively shows how AI is used, how to write an effective prompt, and explains the difference between data and information, clarifying these fundamental concepts.
Another very useful aspect is the comparison between traditional search engines and AI: it clearly explains how, in the past, one had to sift through a long list of links to find answers, while today AI can provide more direct and precise responses provided the prompt is well formulated.
The video also highlights a key point: artificial intelligence is not a human being, and it does not have emotions or real visual perception. It “sees” and analyzes images through code and data, and it is therefore our responsibility to provide detailed and precise instructions in order to receive equally accurate results.
An important warning emphasized in the video is not to enter personal data, as it may end up online. This is a crucial message for students, who are often unaware of the risks related to privacy.
Finally, the video reminds us that AI can make mistakes, so it’s always necessary to verify the answers before using them.
I strongly recommend showing this video in schools. There is still a lot of misinformation about AI, both among students and adults. Students tend to use it as a shortcut to solve academic or personal problems, but it’s essential to explain to them that artificial intelligence cannot replace human judgment, especially when it comes to important decisions, such as those related to health or personal matters. AI has no conscience, and this video explains that clearly, directly, and in a way that is easy for young people to understand especially those who believe they already know everything.
