Demonstration tips: How to do a search 🔎 Step 1. Open the browser Click on the browser icon (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari). A web browser helps us open websites and access information online. We use it to visit different pages on the internet. Step 2. Show the top bar Point to the long bar at the top: web address, search bar settings, etc. The top bar is where we type what we want to find. It works like a search box that takes us to information or websites. Step 3. Understand a Typical Website Layout Show a simple website (e.g., your organisation's website, a news site, Wikipedia). Websites usually follow a similar layout. Recognising the parts below makes it easier to find information. Point out: Header (top part, often has the website name/logo and main menu) Navigation menu (buttons or links to different sections, usually at the top or side) Main content (the middle area with the main text, pictures, or video) Footer (bottom part with extra links, contact info, or copyright) Step 4. Type a search Slowly type a simple example like: how to write a CV. Type a word, phrase, or question about what you want to learn. The search bar helps you explore topics and find answers. Step 5. View search results Point to the list of links that appear. Each line in the list is a link to a website with more information. The top results usually match the topic you searched for. Step 6. Open a result Click on one of the blue links (avoid ads at the top). Clicking a link opens the full page about your topic. You can read, watch, or explore more details on that page. Step 7. Go back to results Click the back arrow (←) at the top left of the browser. Use the back arrow to return to the search results. Try another link if you want different information. Step 8. Do an image search After a regular search, point to the menu under the search bar (e.g., “All – Images – Videos – News”). Click “Images” and show the picture results.Hover or tap on a picture to see a larger version. Click on the image to visit the website where it came from. Image search helps when you prefer pictures instead of reading text. It’s useful for recognising objects, getting ideas, or checking what something looks like. Remember to check the website the picture comes from before trusting it. You can find more information and training materials about copyright: What is Copyright? | ToolBox Optional: Voice search Point out the microphone icon if available. Optional: Private browsing Open a new private or “incognito” window and show how to recognise it (often has a dark theme or special icon). Private browsing does not save your search history, cookies, or logins. It ’s useful when using shared or public computers. It keeps your activity private on the device but not completely anonymous online Step 9. Try a group search Let's search together! Use their idea to repeat the steps, and try an image search. Briefly show alternative search engines: Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, etc. Open Badge: Searching and evaluating information Discover how to use this training material together with other themes to help learners earn the Open Badge.

Is there a type of AI use that you find uncomfortable or strange? Demonstrate examples or ask learners to test out tools in a group Check the list of examples you can try to demonstrate, or give these as a task for each group. Materials needed: Computer 💻 What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)? est. 45 min 💡 After this training: The learner is able to understand the basics of AI. The learner can identify where AI is used in daily life. ✨ Digital skills training about AI basics video language 🇬🇧 Material in Finnish 🇫🇮 Tutustu tekoälyyn, Thinglink ( Enter ry, Erilaisten oppijoiden liitto, Moniheli ry, SeniorSurf, Suomen eKlubitalot ry, VALLI ry ja Vanhustyön keskusliitto.)

Resources and tips for deeper engagements video language 🇬🇧 Benefits Saves time (e.g., writing help, navigation, voice-to-text) Improves accessibility (e.g., screen readers, translation) Helps in education, healthcare, and work Risks and Concerns Loss of privacy AI apps may collect personal information without you noticing. Example: A face filter app saves your photo and uses it later for advertising. How to prevent or check: Check the app’s permissions and only allow access that is necessary. Avoid uploading personal photos if you are unsure. Misuse of personal data Your data can be shared or sold to other companies. Example: An online shopping app saves what you search for and buy, and then uses this information to show you targeted ads or shares it with other companies. How to prevent or check: Review the app’s privacy settings, limit ad personalisation, and avoid signing in with social media accounts if it is not necessary. Data stored for a long time Once data is collected, it may stay online for years. Example: Old voice recordings from a smart assistant are kept on company servers. How to prevent or check: Review your account settings and delete old recordings or data when possible. Unfair treatment (AI bias) AI can make unfair decisions if it learns from biased data. Example from news: News reports have shown that some companies used AI tools to help with hiring, but these tools showed bias. The AI systems learned from past hiring data and started favouring certain genders, names, or backgrounds, while unfairly rejecting others. Fake images and videos AI can create images or videos that look real but are not. Example: A fake photo showing a public figure doing something they never did. How to prevent or check: Check trusted news sources and look for the same information on more than one website. Fake voices AI can copy someone’s voice to trick others. Example: A scam call sounds like a family member asking for money. How to prevent or check: Hang up and call the person directly using a number you already know. Spreading false information Fake AI content can confuse or mislead people. Example: A fake video shared on social media causes panic or anger. How to prevent or check: Do not share the content immediately and verify it with reliable sources first. 👋🏽 Join the Community Ideas on how to create better training?
