How should I get started with AI education for my elementary school child?

How is that any different from just copying the answer? lol

Point 2 is the key, but for early elementary students, the concept of verification itself is hard to understand. Shouldn't the first step be to just let them experience firsthand that AI can be wrong?

Prompt training? Isn’t that a bit outdated? These days, models figure out what you mean even if you ask sloppily, so what exactly is there to teach? It’d be better to practice crafting good questions instead.

Is there a source? I’m curious about the name of the program that was said to be effective, but it isn’t specified in detail.

For block coding, Entry or Scratch is enough—there’s no need to drag AI into it. AI and coding are completely different domains, and lumping them together just confuses kids.

Oh, I didn't know that.

My kid was the same, and No. 2 is really important. I had the AI deliberately give wrong answers and turned it into a game where my kid had to find them, and after that, their attitude toward homework changed completely. It was way more effective than just asking 'Is this right?' and leaving it at that.

I’m an elementary school teacher, and the biggest thing is for parents to try it out alongside their kids. More than any program, sitting together and saying, "This answer seems off, doesn’t it?" sticks with them much longer. If they show an interest in coding, it’s not too late to start then.

For elementary school kids, I think it’s better to approach things through play rather than coding. Block coding still involves sitting down, so they lose interest quickly.

But honestly, shouldn't we put some limits on using AI to help with homework in the first place? Without someone looking over their shoulder, it just ends up being copying answers. I just turned it into an assignment to 'assume ChatGPT's answer is wrong and try to argue against it.' Once they did that, my kid started explaining it again in their own words.
