Description

Teachers often lack the time or the capacity to keep up with the rapid pace of change in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).

Artificial Intelligence (AI), in particular, is a quickly growing sector in the ICTs that is promising a revolution in many fields, including education.

While AI has great potential in enhancing student learning outcomes, there is a need for teachers to be trained in the effective implementation of AI in the classroom.

How can schoolteachers learn to use AI effectively with their students?

The course will introduce participants to AI in education and provide strategies and knowledge to make AI an ally of teachers and learning, rather than a threat to them.

During the course, participants will learn about the benefits of using AI in the classroom, as well as its potential risks. Participants will also gain hands-on experience with AI tools such as Chat GPT for language practice and conversation simulations, as well as AI assessment and feedback tools.

Additionally, participants will learn about other AI applications such as PowerPoint Speaker Coach for developing communication skills, Perplexity for self-directed learning, Yippity for generating assessments, Grammarly for enhancing students’ writing ability, and more.

Moreover, the course will also guide participants in creating a student contract for using AI-generated content in assignments and implementing it in the classroom effectively. Finally, participants will discuss the ethical considerations that come with using AI in education.

They will evaluate the use of AI in education and make informed decisions about its implementation in their own teaching practice.

By the end of the course, participants will have gained practical knowledge and strategies for using AI tools, creating effective learning environments, and ensuring ethical considerations when using AI in education.
