About
This interactive session will engage participants in a two-year journey of learning how to work with generative AI, with a central theme of developing deeper thinking skills. Concepts of 'thinking with' and 'Meta-AI' will be introduced as methods to deepen our learning and evaluate how to use AI effectively in our and our students’ learning. Examples of generative AI use will be provided, and participants will have opportunities to explore and reflection on AI tools. Finally, the Rigor and Relevance Framework will be provided to assess our thinking and use of AI.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be introduced to the concepts of "thinking with" and "Meta-AI"
Throughout the presentation, participants will be exposed to free AI tools to support learning.
Participants will be able to begin to develop a personal plan for integrating “thinking with” skills into their professional lives.
