Session description

As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies advance so must our explorations into the intersections of AI and educational practices. This session is presented by the authors of ISTE's new advanced AI skills course. In it, they will take you beyond the basics and into powerful ways curate, create, and critically assess AI technologies, ensuring they enhance your educational goals in meaningful and responsible ways. It will illuminate the types of skills, practical applications, and ethical considerations that will empower you, your colleagues, and your students to be informed users and creators of AI applications for educational use.

Purpose & objective

Today’s headlines are filled with references to technologies like deepfakes, Dall-E 2, and ChatGPT - all of which are AI innovations that are quickly changing the world - and the educational landscape. Innovative K-12 educators and education leaders have used AI tools to improve efficiency and instruction, as well as to empower students to think critically, create, and be more career ready. Of course, AI also creates new issues, prompting us to rethink instruction, assessment, equity, and digital literacy.

This thought leadership session will tackle 2024's hottest topics and biggest questions around AI and education. It will support teachers and education leaders as they explore to the next level of emerging AI technologies and discern where it fits into various aspects of educational environment. Practical understandings about what AI is and how AI works will be revealed in the context of societal impact, educational equity, ethics, and digital citizenship.
