The purpose of this session is to empower educators with the knowledge and resources to teach students about AI literacy. With the rapid growth and increased availability of generative AI technologies in recent years, it’s essential that we equip students to understand, use, and critically evaluate AI tools. Surveys indicate that teachers are seeking professional development opportunities to learn about AI. This session will address that need!
Objectives:
1. Define AI literacy and articulate its importance for preparing students to thrive in the 21st-century workforce and society.
2. Identify key approaches and guidelines for effectively integrating AI literacy into existing curricula across various subjects and grade levels.
3. Discover a curated collection of resources to teach students how to understand, use, and critically evaluate AI.
4. Learn about AI activities and tools that can be adapted to engage students in meaningful learning experiences, fostering a deeper understanding of AI concepts and applications.
5. Gain strategies for evaluating AI-generated content and promoting safe, responsible, and ethical use of AI tools in educational settings.
