Ai in Education: From Exploration to Application
Workshop Description
This session is open to all experience levels. Within the session, I will demonstrate several PD models that we have used within our district to roll out the introduction of AI tools to our staff and students over the past three years. The models will showcase using creative techniques to allow staff and students to explore tools safely, and moving towards a more streamlined approach of application and integration within our curricula.
