Renata Martell - My website has many sections and pages focusing on different topics within AI in education. For example the website starts off presenting a “home” page that describes the many topics the website. Then you can go on to explore an “about” page, and others ranging from “applications of AI in education” to “training and development”. Each page and section has a thorough, but general amount of information, and is meant to be a starting point for those wanting to learn more about AI in education. I felt like there was an opportunity for a site like this because so many people don’t know the general information about the many considerations involved with utilizing AI in education and academics. The majority of what I remember covering in class about this topic had to do with the appropriate use of AI in schools and policy and regulation surrounding this topic. So for my website I wanted to include other sections, such as teacher training and development and the applications of AI in education. Ultimately, I wanted my site to be the first step that someone should take in order to gain a general understanding of what AI is and how it can help in schools and education - I also wanted to be sure to present the many challenges and ethical risks that AI poses

Megan Harming - The following is a proposal to high schools about the importance of incorporating lessons surrounding the use of artificial intelligence platforms, specifically ChatGPT, into an upper-level college-preparatory curriculum. As AI becomes increasingly incorporated into the workforce, students should learn how to effectively use AI platforms in a way that can benefit them in their post-graduation lives. A well-rounded education that can best prepare high school students for their future now includes AI. My own personal experience regarding my transition from high school to the University of Michigan without any prior knowledge of AI platforms will be considered. Along with providing reasoning for a needed increase in AI-based education, I’ve created a mock lesson plan that could be used as part of the curriculum, which centers around comparing the experience of writing a paper with the use of ChatGPT versus without the use of ChatGPT.

Madeline Johnson and Janani Murugesan - For our final project, we decided to collaborate and create a user-friendly and interactive website that consists of AI policies for the University of Michigan and the community. In our website, we included a comprehensive library of AI policies we thought would be most important in a university and community setting. We also included many other interactive elements with the aim to encourage individuals to want to learn about AI policies.
