Maryland Educational Unit Intervention Plan: Artificial Intelligence, ChatGPT, and Virtual Reality in Education

Abstract

This intervention plan will be implemented at the Maryland Educational Unit in Córdoba. Due to technological advances, teachers and students need to incorporate ICT into classroom learning, developing new skills that will help them stay at the forefront of their field. That is why we are proposing to develop a training project on educational innovation, providing tools and strategies such as artificial intelligence, aimed at primary school teachers, for the inclusion of new technologies in classroom practices during the 2024 school year. Six meetings will be held. In the first stage, an informative meeting will be held with the management team and then with the teachers. The first meeting will present the topic of artificial intelligence and its applications in education. The second meeting will introduce Chat GPT, and the third meeting will present virtual reality. The fourth meeting will present different platforms for exploring educational virtual reality content. This will be followed by a practical class. The last meeting will present additional resources and online communities for further exploration of these technologies. The meetings will be led by the external educational advisor. The institution's resources will be used. It is hoped that, with these tools, teachers will acquire critical thinking, reflection, comparison and analysis skills for use in the school environment. These tools develop creativity and innovation, exploring multiple possibilities. The purchase of virtual reality glasses is recommended.
