LET'S TRY AI! There are several types of AI, each with different capabilities and applications:

  1. Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI): Also known as Weak AI, ANI is designed to perform specific tasks. Examples include virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, recommendation systems, and image recognition software2.
  2. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): Also known as Strong AI, AGI is a theoretical concept where AI can perform any intellectual task that a human can. It would have the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks2.
  3. Artificial Superintelligence (ASI): This is a hypothetical AI that surpasses human intelligence in all aspects, including creativity, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. ASI remains a concept for the future2.

Governments are already using AI in various ways to improve efficiency, decision-making, and service delivery. Here are some examples:

  1. Predictive Analytics: AI is used to predict trends and outcomes, such as forecasting natural disasters or identifying potential security threats.
  2. Automation: AI automates repetitive tasks, freeing up human resources for more complex work. This includes processing applications, managing data, and handling routine inquiries.
  3. Fraud Detection: AI helps detect and prevent fraud by analyzing patterns and anomalies in data.

A.I. SITES CREATED BY US DOD & US GOVT: U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and U.S. Government have been actively involved in developing and adopting AI technologies. These initiatives highlight the U.S. government's commitment to harnessing AI for various applications, from defense to public service. The AI site AI.Mil is the official website for the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) of the U.S. Department of Defense. This site focuses on accelerating the adoption of data, analytics, and AI within the DoD.

The Best Collections Of "The Best" Pieces Of Art Ever Created

In Ferlazzo's Theory of Knowledge class learn about the roles of emotion, language, perception and reason in art. As part of that, students are looking through pieces of art and writing a short analysis of one they choose. They are going to look through the online collections of various museums, but also a site that shared one person's view of "The Best" pieces of art ever created. This is a similar list of sites that provide images of famous pieces of art. It's an intriguing way to help English Language Learners develop a great vocabulary related to feelings and emotions, plus it creates opportunities for both art vocabulary and art content knowledge. Each site shows a number of images or links on the same page of their selected artworks, and allows the ability to click on them to get an enlarged view. Among The Best Collections of "The Best" Pieces Of Art Ever Created are these: The Greatest Works of Art; Another site titled The Greatest Works of Art; Best Works of Art in the World; Famous Paintings; The World's 50 Best Works of Art (and how to see them); 50 Most Famous Works posters (this is from a site that sells posters, but does provides nice images of famous pieces of art).

There is a wonderful Red Riding Hood interactive story app for kids. I downloaded this for my boys and they are loving it. They can either have the story read to them or read along w/ it while interacting w/ the book. Also, there is a nifty little note taking app (MetaNotebook) which is worth a look for taking notes and then sharing w/ others or printing.

Audible

For a great blog on Android devices and apps I highly suggest checking out Richard Byrne's, Android 4 Schools.

AUDIO RECORDING BY PHONE FOR SPEAKING PRACTICE

Best Sites For Students To Record Audio By Phone

There are a number of excellent sites that English Language Learners can use to practice their English, and you can find many of them at The Best Sites To Practice Speaking English. Some apps, like Google Voice, allow people to record audio by phone, but require some work by the teacher to post the audio on the web. This list of free applications allows students to use a phone to record audio directly to the web - without any intermediary. So teachers can just listen and leave comments, but do not have to post it. This serves as an "Audio Journal" for students.

The Best Sites For Students To Record Audio By Phone so far are:

A-Z Directory of ~3,000 Online Learning Tools!

Choosing tools is a daunting task. No actually, it's completely overwhelming! Did you know that there are over 3,000 collaboration tools online right now? And new ones are showing up almost every day! For example, check out this awesome tools list we found that's being managed by a UK research institute. Everything you'll ever need to become an online collaboration tools guru is here, with many of the tools being free. But we are only interested in a tool if it fits certain human behavior patterns for getting together and collaborating. We are more interested in its ability to support interactionthan to manage information(although that's important too). So, we have some principles that we abide by when choosing tools. This helps us (and you!) to narrow down the rapidly growing conglomerate of online tools.

Top 3 Sites for Creating Digital Art

"Digital art is an umbrella term for a range of artistic works and practices that utilize digital technology. Since the 1970s various names have been used to describe what is now called digital art including computer art and multimedia art but digital art is itself placed under the larger umbrella term new media art. (Wikipedia)". Technology can be integrated into art, and these are dkapuler's top 10 favorite sites for that.

1. Doink

A great site for creating animated art w/ a web 2.0 flare.

ADELEX ANALYSER (ADA)

ADELEX TEXT ANALYSER tool is part of the research carried out by the members of the ADELEX team at the University of Granada. It enables the user to analyze the lexical difficulty of written texts in English on the basis of information contained in a 7,000-word frequency list drawn from the British National Corpus, Bank of English and Longman Corpus Network databases. Its two versions (English and Spanish) attempt to provide a more accurate and updated way of analysing texts, by using frequency bands of up to 7,000 words. Once students learn how to use all of these, they should be over the "Minimum Threshold Levelneeded for fluent, independent reading. The analysis divides this list into 7 bands:

  • Band 1: from word no. 1 to word no. 1,000
  • Band 2: from word no. 1,001 to word no. 2,000
  • Band 3: from word no. 2,001 to word no. 3,000
  • Band 4: from word no. 3,001 to word no. 4,000
  • Band 5: from word no. 4,001 to word no. 5,000
  • Band 6: from word no. 5,001 to word no. 6,000
  • Band 7: from word no. 6,001 to word no. 7,000
