PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRACKS:

AI Tools in Education | Web-based Resources | Critical Thinking Skills

LOCATION: Zoom meeting

Generative AI is advancing rapidly! Back by popular demand, David Rosen will introduce both the basics and recent developments in Generative AI (gen-AI).

Whether you are a beginner, a repeat participant, or an experienced AI-user, this session will demonstrate free tools and practical tips for lesson planning & curriculum development. Come for the novel ideas from our expert presenter and stay for the hands-on exploration and discussion with other practitioners.

Participants will learn about some of the current opportunities, challenges and concerns with using gen-AI including examples. Those who register before October 17 will receive a survey about what you want to learn to do with gen-AI. Based on survey results, participants will see a real-time demonstration of gen-AI in action to create a curriculum for specific kinds and levels of adult learners. This includes creating lesson plans for learners with specific interests or needs and at specific levels.

Through viewing and discussing this demonstration participants will see what they might experience in using gen-AI for curriculum development and how it might be helpful in lesson planning. Then they will select a gen-AI tool to explore and create a curriculum individually or in pairs that is customized to their students’ needs. We will then discuss together the opportunities and challenges they found in creating their first drafts.
