Artificial Intelligence in Education - Virtual Learning Series
This series will place significant focus on modeling and "design lab" time to help participants design instructional and functional solutions for their daily practice. This series includes pieces that showcase how AI can be leveraged to help teachers with professional work as well as how it can be used to meet the needs of learners in the classroom through direct student use of AI tools or through careful use of AI in instructional design.
-
Each session will follow a delivery structure:
-
35 minutes of topic presentation and exploration
-
10-15 minutes of “modeling” by our trainer demonstrating an opportunity to use this solution
-
40-45 minute of design lab focus on building or designing AI activities in each of the participant’s classrooms
-
Session 1 - 4/2/2024
What is AI? The Generative Creative Process
This workshop will introduce you to the basics of artificial intelligence (AI), including the generative creative process, GPT Chat, and Bard. You will learn about the different types of AI, how AI works, and how it can be used to generate creative content. You will also learn about the benefits and challenges of AI-generated creative content, and how to use GPT Chat and Bard in education.
Session 2 - 4/9/2024
What else can AI do? (in/out of school), Prompt Engineering & Explore Time
In our 2nd workshop, we will explore ways to use AI to work more efficiently and creatively. The workshop will afford time for educators to dive into examples that can support their daily work with all stakeholders in our schools and in their personal life.
Session 3 - 4/16/2024
AI Limitations (currently) & AI’s Impact on Jobs
This workshop will explore the limitations of AI and understand where AI obtains its answers from, and are those answers always correct? We will explore AI ideas around plagiarism, copyright, addressing student misuse, detection tools and the future of jobs.
Session 4 - 4/30/2024
Re-Thinking Assessment in the Age of AI
Just as calculators forced us to change how we assess math, Generative AI has forced us to re-think what assessment should look like. In this session we’ll explore strategies for adapting assessments to include high order thinking and mixed methods to ensure that Generative AI tools can only be used as a tool and not to undermine academic integrity.
Session 5 - 5/7/2024
Artificial Intelligence / Natural Misuse - AI Guidelines for Students
In the final workshop, we will dive into 10 questions around AI in schools to help begin to develop student guidelines. Educators will also dig into example AI school guidelines.
