Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly becoming a fundamental aspect of the educational landscape. For us, familiarizing ourselves with AI is no longer a choice but a necessity.
AI tools can aid in creating personalized learning experiences, streamlining administrative tasks, and enhancing student engagement. Being knowledgeable about the potential applications and implications of generative AI in the classroom will enable educators to utilize these tools effectively, fostering a more adaptive and innovative learning environment. Additionally they will allow our students to have equitable access to opportunities that will impact their chosen career.

In an age where artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly woven into our daily lives, this session dives into the profound and complex impact AI has on education and society at large. We will begin with a foundational understanding of AI - without high-level technical training. Then we will explore its varied applications, from efficient assistants to deepfakes, and its potential role in widening the digital divide. This “AI 101” journey will emphasize the importance of AI literacy for our students.
The session will begin with a brief overview and explanation of AI and how to teach about AI, with some resources to explore. Focus on the uses of Artificial Intelligence, with some explanation of how these tools can be used in any classroom, as ways for students to explore and design their own chatbots, for example. We will talk about ChatGPT and dive into its uses, concerns, and explore how it is evolving and the implications for education and the future of work. Resources will be shared and attendees will have time to explore and discuss.
Once you decide to bring artificial intelligence (AI) literacy to your students you’ll need resources and curricula. This session explores some of the K-12 options available. We will highlight aiEDU’s free materials and provide the inside scoop. We’ll also review teaching materials from other organizations. There is something for everyone to set you up for AI teaching success.
This interactive session aims to introduce educators to the innovative world of artificial intelligence in education, focusing on tools like ChatGPT, EduAide.AI, and MagicSchool.ai. As educators strive to provide the best possible learning experiences, understanding and effectively implementing these AI tools can be transformative. This session will explore the capabilities, applications, and ethical considerations of each tool in the classroom setting.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the way students learn and will continue to impact students' future and their careers. Additionally, AI is a powerful tool K-12 teachers can use to save time on lesson planning, differentiating lessons, and adapting lessons to meet the needs of all their K-12 learners.
Dive into the world of AI, focusing on its transformative influence in education. Educators will gain insights into leveraging AI as a tool and an understanding of the potential pitfalls of generative AI in education. PGCPS teachers will also be equipped with essential resources on AI Literacy and innovative lesson plans that can easily be implemented in the classroom.
