Join us for an enlightening workshop as we reflect on our initial experiences with implementing generative AI in the classroom over the past year. The conversation will center around the various facets of AI, exploring its components, purposes, and functions. This workshop aims to explore the potential of integrating ChatGPT and AI technologies into K-12 classrooms. The first half of the session will include three expert panelists to provide insights and address concerns related to the implementation of AI in K-12 educational settings. Second session will cater to educators with varying levels of practical understanding about AI. Our expert panelists will guide educators in navigating AI tools for their classrooms and aiding them in evaluating diverse options for both themselves and their students.
