- Set up a shared digital workspace (Padlet or Jamboard) for group reflections.
- Test all AI tools to be referenced during the workshop.
🔥 Βήματα υλοποίησης
- Introduction (15 min): Open with a provocative question: “Is it ethical to use AI to grade your students?” Collect responses. Introduce the five key AI ethics principles: privacy, consent, bias, transparency, and accountability.
- The Ethics Maze – Scenario Rounds (45 min): Groups receive a scenario card and must navigate the “maze” by answering: What is the ethical issue? Who is affected? What should the educator do? Groups rotate through 3-4 scenarios.
- Gallery Walk (15 min): Groups post their responses on the shared digital workspace. Participants review and add comments or questions to other groups’ responses.
- Whole-Group Debrief (15 min): Facilitator highlights key themes and tensions. Discuss: Are there situations where there is no clear right answer?
- Personal Action Planning (10 min): Each participant writes one commitment: “In my teaching, I will… to use AI more ethically.”
🧂 Διαφοροποίηση και Συμπερίληψη
- For less experienced educators: Use simpler scenarios focused on familiar classroom situations.
- For advanced participants: Introduce more complex scenarios involving institutional policy and legal compliance.
- For multilingual groups: Allow discussion in participants’ preferred language before sharing in the workshop language.
