Join in me in learning how to LIVE with AI in Education and explore a few of the ways it can be used to make the lives of educators just a little bit easier. In this session - I'll explore a general use of AI in the education classroom and discuss how I talk with students about it and the staff in my building. I'll share with you some of the tools we utilize the most including Brisk Teaching, and I'll talk about how our district has created policy and procedures so these tools can be used safely and appropriately.
