AI at School with an ISTE Author: Tools, Tips, and Trends

Past Webinar | August 8, 2024

In 2024, generative artificial intelligence soared with the popularity of ChatGPT, My AI on Snapchat, and Google Gemini. Despite students’ daily interaction with AI on social media, a RAND report found only 18% of teachers integrate AI tools in classrooms.

And as AI continues to evolve, educators face new challenges and opportunities in integrating AI and technology into the classroom. From addressing deep fake explicit content and misinformation to managing the latest tools and apps that students use daily, educators can stay ahead of the curve to equip students with the tools to thrive in a tech-fueled world.

Together, we’ll provide proactive and positive strategies that educators can implement immediately, helping to launch the start of the school year with confidence.

In this webinar, participants will learn:

  • The latest research and trends on how students are navigating AI both in and out of the classroom 
  • Practical tips for integrating AI and technology in education and for personal development
  • Strategies for staying current with new tools and apps that students are using
