Beyond the Prompt: Creative and Critical AI Integration in Every Classroom
Beyond the Prompt: Creative and Critical AI Integration in Every Classroom
Move beyond the basics of prompting and the predetermined how-to to explore how artificial intelligence can enhance creativity, inquiry, and critical thinking across disciplines. This highly interactive, play-based workshop invites educators to experiment with AI through hands-on design challenges and collaborative exploration.
Participants will engage in creative problem-solving, apply AI tools to authentic classroom contexts, and reflect on how these experiences can deepen student learning. By developing a process to select the right platform for the right purpose, we’ll focus on a learner-centered approach to design memorable learning experiences.
Digital Creativity: AI-Powered Visual Storytelling, Podcasting, and Writing, for Educators
Digital Creativity: AI-Powered Visual Storytelling, Podcasting, and Writing, for Educators
Unlock the power of AI to revolutionize your visual storytelling. This hands-on workshop introduces educators to cutting-edge AI tools that elevate visual design, storytelling, and communication. Learn how to harness AI's potential to transform your ideas into compelling visual narratives, audio content, and stories that captivate and educate.
Explore how AI can enhance your creative process, from generating unique imagery to refining designs and streamlining creative workflows. Discover techniques for creating immersive visual experiences that resonate with students and colleagues. Participants will engage with various AI image-generation tools as they explore bias mitigation strategies and complete comparative analysis activities. You’ll even discover how to convert audio to visuals! Whether you're a tech novice or an experienced digital creator, this workshop will equip you with practical skills to integrate AI into your visual storytelling toolkit.
Building an AI Literacy: Skills and Strategies to Become an Advanced AI Educator
Building an AI Literacy: Skills and Strategies to Become an Advanced AI Educator
NOTE: This is an advanced workshop. You should already know what an LLM is, distinguish between an LLM and an image generator or search engine, and have prompting experience.
Now that you have some experience with artificial intelligence, you are looking to level up your skills and strategies. This workshop is designed to support increased digital fluency and literacy as we explore the use of large language models (LLMs) and other AI-powered platforms. In this intermediate/advanced workshop, we'll explore linguistics and communication strategies through hands-on activities using a variety of platforms, including LLMs and chatbots. We will go through the process of designing your own chatbot, which is a more sustainable approach than using predesigned chatbots. We'll also discuss practical and ethical ways to incorporate them into your workflows and into teaching and learning. You’ll employ advanced prompting techniques for LLMs and image generators; apply a computational thinking approach to develop prompts; and use AI in a more advanced capacity for problem-solving, output automation, context control, question refinement, game design, scenario simulation, chatbot design protocols, and much, much more!
