AI Literacy & Critical Thinking Skills

The key to successful implementation lies in maintaining curiosity and wonder about AI while building healthy skepticism and critical thinking skills. Students should leave this unit feeling empowered as thoughtful users of AI technology rather than passive consumers of whatever information they encounter.

Exploring Sources

Rather than teaching "reliable" versus "unreliable" sources as a binary, introduce students to a spectrum of trustworthiness. Help them understand that different sources serve different purposes—a friend's recommendation for a fun game carries different weight than a scientist's explanation of how volcanoes work. This nuanced approach prevents oversimplification while building sophisticated thinking skills.
