Read about artificial intelligence, social media, fact-checking, and digital citizenship through informational, argumentative, and functional texts. Topics include AI in schoolwork and art, online claims, website trust, and how algorithms shape social media.
This collection brings together fifteen readings about technology and choices people make online. “The Digital Tutor” and “AI Tools in Homework: A Student’s View” consider AI in education from different text types. “AI Art: Creativity or Cheat?” and “Clear Labels or Complex Rules?” introduce debates about AI-generated art and transparency. Other passages cover social media algorithms, digital citizenship, AI answers, and checking online claims.
The selection includes informational and argumentative passages as well as functional texts. Readers can compare a report about algorithms with a step-by-step guide to fact-checking, or identify the positions in two arguments about AI art. These texts provide specific topics for discussion; choose a passage and review its individual page for the activities and access options available with that text.
The passages carry Upper Elementary and Middle School labels, including individual grade labels. Use the cards to compare topics and text types before selecting a reading.
