AI in Education: Supporting Learner Variability & Reclaiming Time to Build Relationships - July 24th

This workshop will explore innovative tools that utilize Artificial Intelligence in order to enhance learning. This session will share versatile uses of ChatGPT-like tools from creating student lesson activities to assessing student work to improving educator effectiveness. These powerful websites can increase student agency and engagement, as well as have the potential to allow “bot-generated” responses. Participants will explore case scenarios to support what to do if and when a student may use AI instead of their own work. Ethics and purpose behind assignments will be discussed.

Collaborative work time will be provided in order to generate specific ideas for using AI in the attendee's classroom. Participants will wordsmith prompts in order to develop rubrics, feedback responses, student goals, and parent emails.

Come join us to deepen your knowledge of how to leverage ChatGPT and other AI tools in your educational setting!

Cost: $25, lunch included
