Assignments
The course assignments are designed to help educators develop the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed to integrate AI into their teaching practice effectively. Throughout the course, teachers will complete a variety of assignments, including creating lesson plans, assignments, and assessments that use AI tools and techniques. They will also analyze the ethical and social implications of using AI in education, reflect on the potential of AI to transform education, and evaluate the effectiveness of AI in streamlining administrative tasks, grading, and feedback. In the final capstone project, teachers will annotate a syllabus with how they would integrate AI in their class and reflect on how they will use it to streamline their teaching practice, including assessment, curriculum development, and workflow. This final project will allow teachers to apply their learning and demonstrate their ability to effectively use AI in their teaching practice, as well as demonstrate their understanding of the ethical and social implications of using AI in education.
