This includes skills and competencies for using digital tools to (a) conduct research and critically solve problems, (b) communicate and collaborate effectively, whether at home, school, or in the workplace, and (c ) spark creativity. Additionally, it also includes critical skills and competencies for AI, as it becomes increasingly prevalent in learning spaces. Across these different foci, these skills and competencies enable students to share ideas, engage with diverse cultures, and contribute to global knowledge while building strong digital citizenship.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The importance of AI literacy for all | Mike Kentz | TEDxSavannah\" width=\"676\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DRyWDNjRWaw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Recommended Resources:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.gov.bc.ca\/gov\/content\/education-training\/k-12\/administration\/program-management\/ai-in-education\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI Competencies BC K-12<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.gov.bc.ca\/assets\/gov\/education\/administration\/kindergarten-to-grade-12\/ai-in-education\/adst-3-5-teaching-and-learning-story-what-is-ai-how-can-we-use-it-and-what-should-we-look-out-for.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI and Digital Literacy Teaching Stories<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000391104\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UNESCO AI Competencies for Teachers<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000391105\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UNESCO AI Competencies for Learners<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Experimenting with Tools &#8211; Trying things out!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the second part of the class, we explored a digital tool of your choice to support essential competencies in collaboration, innovation, critical thinking, decision-making, and communication in a particular learning activity or resource or material.
