Artificial intelligence (AI) is here to stay. And it’s only going to become more and more prominent in our lives and work. So how do we harness powerful AI tools – and use them for good – to personalize learning, boost engagement, increase productivity, and enhance processes in education? We equip ourselves with knowledge and take AI by the reigns.

The AI for Educators Conference, put on in partnership with TCEA, is designed to bring together professionals and enthusiasts in the field of AI and education to discuss innovative applications, strategies, and best practices for integrating
AI into the educational landscape.

This virtual conference will be on Thursday, October 26th from 8:30am to 1:00pm. All sessions are 45 minutes. Tickets will cost $125. Whether or not you are able to to attend, you will have 30-day access to all recorded sessions after the conference.

Considerations in Education
 Take a look at the top AI detectors to find out which ones are the best – if any. We’ll examine AI generated text from different generative models and see which detectors are worth your time and which your students hope you use. We’ll also discuss what to do when no AI detector seems to be very accurate. We’ll finish by talking about the ethics of using AI in the classroom and help you think through what is appropriate for your grade level and content area.
