Empowering Educators: Integrating AI Tools in the Classroom - Spring 25
When preparing students for the future, we have a duty to familiarize them with Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, which are likely to be a part of their workplace landscape. Instead of labeling the use of AI as cheating, consider it as a tutor, peer review partner, and thought provoker for your students. The use of AI promotes critical thinking, understanding, and engagement in students, while moving away from the rote memorization and copying methods of traditional education. Many AI tools are emerging that can create educational content for teachers including assessments, presentations, video summaries, and more.
By the end of this workshop, participants will not only have a solid understanding of AI in education but will also be equipped with practical skills to integrate AI tools effectively into their teaching practices. We will explore ChatGPT, Google Gemini, MagicSchool, and many other AI tools that can enhance your classroom learning experiences. Join us on this exciting journey towards reshaping the future of education through the thoughtful and purposeful integration of AI in the classroom!
