Artificial intelligence (AI) in Key Stage 3 computing CP442
Explore the role of generative AI and its applications within the Key Stage 3 Teach Computing Curriculum. You'll learn about the fundamentals of AI and investigate various platforms to support your teaching.
Summary
During this short course you will learn how to use generative AI safely and innovatively within the KS3 computing curriculum. Generative AI can now be used to create a wide range of media assets, you'll explore various platforms which can be used to generate text, image and sound assets. Guided by your Professional Development Leader, you'll discuss and identify opportunities of how generative AI can be embedded within the Key Stage 3 Teach Computing Curriculum.
You'll explore opportunities for using generative AI tools to support text-based programming, including how tools can support student understanding, build resilience and improve the learning experience of programming.
