Teaching Students to Use AI Ethically-Webinar (rm F143) LIMITED

This is a Solution Tree webinar giving you strategies on how to responsibly embrace AI in your classroom.There will not be a facilitator for this session. Many of the concerns that educators have about student AI use involve students misrepresenting their learning and mastery by having these tools do work for them. In the Solution Tree Master Class: Educator AI, Paul explores ways that teachers can build classroom structures and culture that promote the ethical use of AI. As with any other critical skill, teachers need to become AI literate themselves and then guide students through the ways that generative AI tools can help them learn better, instead of taking them out of the learning process.
