Ready Player One? AI Literacy TECH–Tac–Toe for K-12 Educators and Students

In the world of AI literacy, we're all just getting started—consider this your tutorial level. As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more infused in our everyday lives, we need to ensure that students, teachers, and administrators develop the skills and understanding required to use this technology thoughtfully and ethically. This is known as AI literacy. Like any good game, you need the right strategy to level up.

What is AI Literacy TECH-Tac-Toe?

Lindy created AI Literacy TECH–Tac–Toe to help both you and your students up your AI literacy game! This activity presents nine AI experiences arranged in a tic-tac-toe grid. The goal is simple: complete three blocks in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) to unlock your AI literacy achievement.

Rather than feeling overwhelmed by the vast landscape of AI tools, educators and students can focus on three connected experiences that build understanding progressively. Each block offers hands-on experience with different AI applications, from text and image generation to music creation and 3D modeling. Each completed square levels you up in different AI literacy skills.

Getting Started: Choose Your Path

Follow the link below. Choose your path: Pick any three blocks that form a line and dive in! If you are an expert gamer, go for a perfect score by completing all nine blocks. Whether you're a complete AI novice or looking to expand your existing knowledge, this activity provides practical, hands-on experience with the tools that are shaping our digital future.

Important Game Rules

Many of these tools are free and do not require a login, therefore should be FERPA compliant. Those that require account creation are noted. Before using those tools with your students, make sure the tool is in compliance with local, state, and federal policies and laws. And as always, never put personal, confidential, sensitive, or proprietary information into an AI model. Learn more in the Navigating AI: Educator's Rules of Thumb infographic.
