ISTE AI Guides

Are you interested in learning more about Artificial Intelligence and how you can use it in your classroom?

Although learning about tools are great, learning how to use them in the classroom, both with students and to help us, is essential to appropriate usage.

ISTE  is the leading organization in teaching technology in the classroom.  ISTE stands for International Society for Technology in Education.  They are a nonprofit organization that provides resources, training and support that helps educators use technology to revolutionize learning. Their mission is to empower educators to reimagine and redesign learning through impactful pedagogy and meaningful technology use.

ISTE offers a series of Hands-On Project Guides for use in the classroom.  Each guide contains information about AI and projects to do in the classroom.

I will highlight a different guide each week for the next 5 weeks.  I hope you find them useful and informative.  Next week we will take a look at Ethics and AI.
