Hello, I'm Kia Karmela Angeles, a 31-year-old lifelong learner with a Bachelor's in Information Technology. I worked as a software engineer and web developer for eight years before transitioning to teaching. Currently, I’m a Training Associate at SMS Global Technologies (SMSGT) and a Technology Coach at the Junior Academy for Coding Knowledge (JACK). Mentoring aspiring engineers inspired me to pursue further education. I hold a Computer Science Diploma from IBDP (2017), a Master's in AI Engineering from SimpliLearn (2019), a Master's in Advanced Teaching (2024), and a teaching license (2024), enhancing my teaching credentials.

Session description

There are many common misconceptions about AI and we mostly associate this with the term "automation." Even so, AI is all around us but NOT in the form of robots or any "thinking machines" that we're so fascinated about. Come and learn how AI can be used in your classrooms!

Purpose & objective

I. To help coaches/mentors/educators better understand how AI and data-driven decisions make more appropriate assessments.
II. To show how students with LD and SEN can learn better when given the right platform and technology tools and to share documented outputs comparing old traditional approaches and the new approach empowered by data.
III. To encourage more educators in using a purpose-driven approach to lesson planning, coaching, and mentoring students.
