Living in the Age of AI

My Project

A new MacBook laptop is the essential tool I need in my journey to learn AI and open up the world of AI to my students. My school district has a push this year for all schools to have an AI ambassador, and I have been chosen to represent my school.

MacBooks are ready for AI, as they come with pre-installed software which are essential for coding and developing AI applications.They are compatible with a wide range of AI and machine learning frameworks as well.

This requested MacBook is equipped with an M3 chip, providing the necessary processing power to handle complex AI computations and large datasets efficiently.

With this laptop, I can access an abundance of online courses, tutorials, and forums specifically designed for Mac users, helping me to learn AI concepts and applications effectively. Specifically I am interested in completing both AI for Education - Microsoft Learn, and Generative AI for Educators - Grow with Google. Both of these courses are education-focused and offer a wealth of student-centric ideas.

Our 5th-grade classes are 1:1 with MacBooks, so this will integrate seamlessly within their classrooms. My computer lab uses Mac as well, so all of my students are exposed to and comfortable with the platform.

By learning AI, I can develop projects that enhance students’ problem-solving and critical thinking skills, creating AI-driven projects that relate to real-world scenarios, and help students understand the practical applications of AI.

AI can be used to develop personalized learning experiences for students, catering to their individual needs and learning paces.
