Programming Pedagogies (Grok)

Caroline Tromans, Drew Eastlake, Dan Hickman

See: https://grok.ac/ictensw-2023 for Grok activities and http://grok.ac/ICTENSW2023 for folder of resources on SharePoint

Two ideas types of activities:

• PRIMM (Predict, Run, Investigate, Modify and Make) model
• Parsons Puzzles (arrange lines of code in correct order, see https://hckmd.com/parsons for Python tool including examples, or could simply create one in Scratch).

Grok Academy AI in K-12

James Curran james.r.curran ‘at’ grokacademy.org

Director, Grok Academy (a charity)

• ‘Prompt’ engineering is going to become more important
• Tools: ChatGPT, DALL-e, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Artflow, Diagramify, Looka, Soundraw,
• ChatGPT trained on 570GB of text including publicly available “Common Crawl” and Wikipedia
• Tasks: Start with ChatGPT output and critique it, improve it
• Teachers can generate multiple choice questions (e.g. generate 5 multiple choice questions on the concept of binary)
• Have conversations about authentic assessment, alternative forms of evidence, higher order thinking
