All around us today, we fill the impact of Smart Technologies referred to as self-monitoring, analytical and reporting systems powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). Surprisingly, the technologies driving these innovations has remained largely esoteric to K-12 educators. These technologies are often associated with complex algorithmic with foundations in Computer Science so far has remained outside the reach of average K-12 non-Computer Science teacher. Moreover, AI and ML has often been associated with physical robots in the minds of the average K-12 teacher. However, both teachers and students experience AI/ML powered systems every day of their lives. In this workshop/presentation we shall offer practical AI/ML technologies demonstrations suitable for online teaching and learning within K-12 school systems using Machine Learning tools from Google and Microsoft to engage with teachers. We shall explore the importance of data, and how it can be used to teach and train computers to learn and make predictive decisions with pedagogic implications. This workshop targets K-12 teachers that hear about Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Machine Learning (ML) but in cryptic terms without making much sense of its relevance to instruction in classrooms. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to engage students in AI with No-Code ML innovative web-based/desktop learning tools that challenge deep thinking in classrooms.
