Adriano's Genius Hour Project

Well, this is the end of the road for my Genius Hour Project and my final blog post.  I wanted to thank everyone who followed my journey.   As I finalized my Genius Hour  product , I completed the final piece of my research.  Last week, I launched a survey to Ontario based teachers within their Reddit channel.  The survey was a success, gathering 45 responses over 7 days.  The findings were quite interesting, showing that while 86.6% of respondents felt confident in their understanding of Generative AI, 60% felt that their school board did not present clear guidelines on its use.

Below are the snapshots of the responses I recei...

As of today, the government does not have a formal set of regulations around AI and its use.  However, they have created this framework as part of Bill C-27, the Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022 (Government of Canada 2025). The framework outlines how the government intends to work through a public discussion and assessment phase before bringing in legislation.  They had antici...
