Lesson Overview

This lesson introduces the learning goals focused on artificial intelligence (AI), transitioning into
generative AI. It begins with a discussion on the impact of past technological innovations on
society. Students then explore the concept of generative AI through the lens of someone familiar
only with its hype, aiming to foster understanding and responsible engagement with AI
technology. A key part of the lesson is the introduction of the Input, Storage, Processing, Output
(ISPO) framework, essential for understanding generative AI's workings. The lesson concludes with
students receiving a graphic organizer for the unit and sharing their anticipations about learning
more on generative AI.
