AI and Digital Tools in the Classroom

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools like MagicSchoolAI, ChatGPT, and others can serve important roles as both a teacher's assistant and a student's personal tutor, but there are important issues like privacy laws that must be considered. Those are just a few of the takeaways from a recent "ONE Beyond the Classroom" virtual PD session on AI and Digital Tools in the Classroom, led by Julia Tilton. The former ONE Member Ambassador-turned-EdTech integration specialist joins us for this episode to offer practical guidance for educators as they learn to use these emerging technologies to best serve their students.
