2024VSTE Annual Conference

Students are inundated with access to AI tools. We know they are using all of the tools, but are they thinking about the impact these tools. This session will go over ways to teach students about what is happening inside of the AI tools and how to get students to think about the tools they choose to use. The focus will be on bias, data, and ethics. Teachers will experience the tools (all free) that will open up a conversation with their students.
