Putting Educators and Students at the Center of AI in Education
is about the vital role educators play in the age of AI. While technology is changing fast, the heart of teaching is still human. Teaching is built on connection, collaboration, and empathy. Educators help decide how AI is used, from shaping school policies to making day-to-day classroom choices, so it stays ethical, fair, and focused on students.
Safe and Ethical Use of AI dives beyond the surface of AI in education by equipping educators with the critical knowledge and practical strategies to navigate this evolving landscape.
