A single lesson to help students understand crowd sourcing. We are increasingly using artificial intelligence for simple tasks in the business world. Google use algorithms to digitize books. However there is something quite sinister in the way that Google are using the Crowd to work for them, often with the workers unaware that they are working for a large multinational firm. This lesson is fully resourced and has a complete teacher’s guide. (L2Answers.docx) There is a full lesson (L2AI2016edc.docx), and a shortened poster lesson (L2AI2016dc.docx)

eSafety discussion task. Each comment has a surprising addition. To use this use envelopes with a clear window (as in the images Envelopes.jpg and Envelopessecond.jpg show). Students then follow the following instructions. We are going to order the questions in the envelopes from most to least important. Leave them in their envelopes for now 1. Do you think the question is relevant (in turn) 2. Why do you think that your question might be regarded as important (in turn) 3. Order 4. Remove from envelopes to see additional information. Does this change your mind?
