Virtual Coffeehouse Conversation on AI in Education

aarmau@gmail.comFebruary 25, 2023Uncategorized

Back in early February I hosted a conversation with several participants from all over the globe to discuss AI in the landscape of education. It was a great session that left many of us with more questions than we came in with, but that was the whole point. After the event many have asked for another session as we talked about what would our thinking be weeks after this initial conversation as we learn more and new things come out daily.

So……

It is here. The first gathering of a Coffee For The Brain Virtual Coffeehouse Conversation

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the world in many ways, and education is no exception. AI can empower educators with new tools and methods to enhance their teaching and learning practices. But what is AI exactly, and how can it benefit education? How can educators use AI ethically and responsibly in their classrooms? And what are the challenges and opportunities that AI brings for education?

If you are interested in these questions, you are invited to join the free Zoom session on AI and its impacts on education.

In this session, you will come ready to discuss the basics of AI, its applications and benefits for education, and its ethical and social implications.

Additionally, you will also have a chance to join breakout groups and have smaller conversations with other educators who share your interests and concerns about AI in education.
