Presented by: Sarah Jayne Carey
Mary Loftus asks us to think about “how we and our students engage critically with AI, rather than be passive consumers of AI platforms?”
I will be introducing some recently launched curricula that are designed to help students comprehend what AI is and how to use it both effectively and ethically.
My goal today is to show you some tangible resources that you can use in your classrooms to enhance your students’ understanding of AI.
Everything I share I have tried and tested with my own students.
This session will provide practical, next-day-use tools for teachers, ensuring that the learning can be immediately implemented.
