WORKSHOP TITLE: Demystifying Artificial Intelligence for Educators
DURATION: 5 hours
FACILITATOR: Mr. Dwayne Best
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
This workshop introduces in-service teachers to the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on education. Participants will engage in hands-on activities to explore AI-driven tools, evaluate their benefits and challenges, and develop strategies for integrating AI into their teaching practice. AI has the potential to enhance learning by personalising instruction, automating administrative tasks, and providing real-time feedback. However, its implementation raises ethical and pedagogical concerns. This workshop will help teachers critically assess AI’s role in the classroom and make informed decisions about its use.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Define Artificial Intelligence (AI).
- Identify examples and non-examples of AI.
- Evaluate AI-powered educational tools and their potential classroom applications.
- List at least four (4) ethical concerns related to AI use in education.
TARGET PARTICIPANTS:
Primary and Secondary school teachers
MATERIALS REQUIRED:
Participants are required to bring a laptop or any other type of electronic device. The workshop facilitator will provide all other materials.
