Artificial Intelligence: Friend or Foe?
Friday August 30, 2024 12:25pm - 1:15pm CDT
CSTI 373
After refueling at lunch, stop in and kick up your feet for a laidback discussion on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how it can affect the teaching and learning in your classroom.  No need to be an expert - this is for those just scratching the surface or those of you who are already AI gurus. Education is about teamwork and learning from one another, so this will be a great time to ask questions, share how you are using AI, bounce ideas off one another, and more. We hope to discuss favorite AI tools, the benefits of using AI, policies for school/classroom use, and plans for utilizing AI in the classroom, especially so students begin to understand it better and not abuse it.

You will get to see examples across content areas and hear some tips and tricks from teachers who have tried it out. Be prepared to keep an open mind as to how you could incorporate this strategy into your teaching!
