\"AIWelcome to Artificial Intelligence in K-12 Education<\/h2>\n\n

This AI module stemmed from the Computer Science and Computational Thinking modules<\/a>. During our annual review, the development team recognized that a significant update was needed to include Generative AI. As its impact has become too substantial to incorporate into the existing modules, we created a new AI-focused module designed to engage both preservice and in-service teachers. There’s a wealth of content to explore!\n<\/p>\n

Each unit offers practical, hands-on learning experiences, starting and ending with “Apply” sections, while the “Learn More” sections include references and supplemental resources. To support comprehension, we\u2019ve included knowledge checks at the end of each section. You\u2019re encouraged to explore the modules at your own pace and according to your interest\u2014whether to dive in deeply or skim key points.<\/p>\n

The content is delivered via an interactive e-learning platform, accessible below on this page or available for download to integrate into a Learning Management System (LMS), instructions are provided at the bottom of the page. To ensure flexible access, we recommend offering both the interactive e-learning module and a downloadable PDF version within your LMS. <\/p>\n

We recommend that you complete this training with a computer or tablet.<\/p>\n

We hope these resources will be both insightful and enjoyable!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
