This lesson plan explores Artificial Intelligence using Teachable Machine, a program that uses images and sounds to create machine models. 

This is a quick lesson/ discussion about the changes in computing over time. You will discuss how we use technology today vs. how computers were used years ago. The class will then watch a fun video about children reacting to an old computer. As a class, you will continue the comparison conversation and close with a recap of what the students saw.

The discussion and video will take approximately 20 minutes.

To add to the discussion, you can create an anchor chart of past and present pros and cons. Student's can then write a journal entry on what was discussed in class.
