Lesson 2: Critical Thinking with AI

Lesson overview

In this lesson, we’ll explore the terms accuracy, fairness, and bias: three big ideas that help us think critically about AI-generated content. You’ll learn how to use Toddle’s FAB Check to break down what AI gives you and decide whether it’s trustworthy, useful, and fair.

  • As a teacher, watch the Critical Thinking with AI video independently first.
  • As a class, watch the video together.
  • Complete Exercise 2: Practice with the FAB Check.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

  • Define and explain the terms accuracy, fairness, and bias.
  • Use the FAB framework to evaluate content generated by AI tools.
  • Reflect on how critical thinking helps us use AI more responsibly.
