Helping Educators & Students Cultivate Effective & Ethical Digital & Artificial Intelliegence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed the world almost overnight, especially in education. Some educators believe the integration of AI into our schools will fundamentally deteriorate learning while offering students new ways to cheat, while also distracting educators from the human side of our work. Other educators believe we must teach our students to use AI ethically and intelligently or they’ll lose to people who can, and that these amazing tools can actually help teachers and administrators organize, prepare, and plan better and faster, thus leaving more time for the human side. AI in ED -if, when, how, and why- might be the most important decision educators have ever made.
