AI that helps everyone

AI can open doors for people who see, hear or speak differently.

Teacher demonstration. Where a demonstration helps, the teacher runs it on a school approved tool, previews it first and stays in control. The deck also includes prepared examples, so the lesson does not depend on a live demonstration working on the day. No pupil accounts. More on safety

The signature activity

Access stations: pupils meet everyday barriers, then see how captions, read aloud, translation and describing apps remove them, including a round trip translation test.

Learning intentions

  • I can explain what accessible means and why it matters.
  • I can describe how captions, read aloud, translation and describing apps help people.
  • I can test a translation and spot where the AI got it wrong.

The slides

Teacher notes and answers sit in the speaker notes of every slide, and printable resources are at the end of the deck.
