There is a diagram that students are supposed to fill out showing the path of data from their device to another. The answer key has colored arrows that are either solid or dashed, with no explanation of what I am looking at. With so many arrows, what are the paths? How do you know whether the data go to one or more routers because it doesn’t seem clear. I first thought the email went to from one computer to the router and then to the other device before realizing it had to go to the ISP first, but what are the AI lightbulbs and how do students know whether or when to include them. There is literally no explanation of this diagram. I am so confused. Does anyone have a better example or some advice?
Hi @pmadson,
I agree that the answer key is kind of confusing. The way I interpreted it, the AI lightbulbs are where students have insights about how AI tools can be helpful in the process. The double-headed solid arrows appear to show two-way data transmission, whereas the dashed purple ones show when information moves only in one direction.
Does that help? I’d love to hear others weigh in as well.

Thank you. I did find more explanation in the codd levels. It can be very confusing when the teacher information isn’t all together in one place. I like that it is in the levels though.

The key on the curriculum page could use a legend, or perhaps different colored arrows to be associated with each of the levels. I agree that the context in the “For Teachers Only” section of the levels helps a lot.
I believe that the three lightbulb icons are related to the the three scenarios on level 5 about how AI could help reduce friction in the system.
