LEVinar: The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Education

Earlier this year, Washington became the fifth state in the country to issue guidance on using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in schools. Teachers across the state are starting to incorporate AI in the classroom and in their work, now that educators are being encouraged to embrace this new, ever-evolving technology.

In this webinar, we define what AI is, explore the pros and cons of AI in the classroom, and discuss how AI will change the skills that students need to be relevant in the workforce.
