ABOUT THIS VIRTUAL INTENSIVE
What is our job as educators in a world being disrupted by generative artificial intelligence (AI)? How do we embrace the potential of this powerful tool while staying aware of, and hopefully avoiding, its pitfalls? This workshop offers educators relevant and practical entry points to begin the process of making sense of AI. We’ll cover three guiding principles and seven strategies for understanding AI’s impact on education and harnessing its power to support deeper learning and teaching. After reviewing core concepts and principles, participants will experience guided, hands-on practice with AI tools, trying different prompts and use cases that can have a positive impact on our day-to-day work as educators. This is an interactive, participatory session, so participants should expect to engage in breakout activities where they discuss and share their work with colleagues.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Participants will:
- Explore the current state of AI in education
- Understand core principles of using generative artificial intelligence effectively
- Practice a variety of prompts and use cases that are relevant to the day-to-day work and goals of educators
