On Monday, February 24th at 8:00 p.m., the team met to discuss the progress. Because so many of the students have athletic practices and other after-school commitments, the meeting time was set late. In some ways, that forced us to be very efficient. Still, we met until 9:00 p.m.
1. Organizing the table Based on Mr. Speiser's recommendations, we chose to group the critical items into three levels from the least restrictive (a.k.a. mild) to the most restrictive (a.k.a.spicy) and somewhere in the middle (a.k.a. medium). We chose to anchor the information on the "Framework for Administrators and Decision-makers on AI Implementation in Schools," a document I created with my colleague Sofia De Jésus. 2. Setting task deadlines The group decided to finish the document by Wednesday, February 26th so that the software group could work on creating a prototype. 3. Next steps We set another meeting for Tuesday, March 4th so that we can check in about our progress. We also set up a Google Classroom to house all the materials and documents.

On Thursday, February 13, our students and I had the honor of inviting Leonard Speiser. Our students had an opportunity to "pitch" their ideas and receive guidance.
As a result of this meeting, we have chosen to focus on five major concepts related to ethical use of AI based on the Framework that Sofia De Jésus and I have worked on as part of the CSTA Equity Fellowship. Sometimes I have to pinch myself on how lucky I feel to work in this incredible community where I can actually have our students interact with someone like Leonard who "has founded six technology companies including Bix, which sold to Yahoo! in 2006, and Clover, a payment company that currently processes over $100 billion a year for small businesses that sold to First Data/Fiserv. [He] led product teams at eBay in 2000 and Intuit in 1998" (https://www.aspentechpolicyhub.org/team/leonard-speiser/). He was gracious enough not only to spend time with our students but also offered to come back and provide additional feedback on our project. |
