Getting Started with AI: What Every Educator and Professional Should Know

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a buzzword, it’s already shaping classrooms. From lesson planning to student support, AI tools are quietly becoming part of education. The question isn’t whether AI belongs in schools. The question is whether teachers know how to use it effectively and responsibly.

AI in Education: What’s Already Happening

• AI-powered apps give students personalized practice in math, reading, and languages.

• Learning platforms adapt to student progress, giving extra practice where it’s needed.

• Assessment tools help teachers check for plagiarism, grade faster, and identify learning gaps.

You might already be using AI without realizing it. Tools like Grammarly, Quizlet, or even Google Classroom features rely on AI to support teaching and learning.

Why Educators Benefit from Understanding AI

Teaching is demanding. AI doesn’t replace teachers, but it can reduce time spent on repetitive tasks so you can focus on students. For example:

• Automating tasks: Drafting parent emails, creating quizzes, or generating lesson ideas.

• Personalizing learning: Offering tailored practice problems or rewording materials for different reading levels.

• Spotting gaps: AI can summarize student responses and highlight where more instruction is needed.

The result? More time for what matters most: engaging with students.

How This Workshop Helps You

That’s why I created the Introducing AI in Education Workshop—a one-hour professional development course designed for teachers and educators.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

• Write better prompts to get useful results from AI tools

• Save time by drafting lesson plans, quizzes, and emails with AI support

• Use AI responsibly, without crossing ethical or privacy boundaries
