Basic computer proficiency courses are designed for individuals who have limited experience with technology. Participants will learn fundamental skills such as navigating the web, and using basic programs.
It can be challenging to devise various activities tailored to different types of students, and it can consume a significant amount of teacher’s time.
The future has arrived, and with it, the integration of AI into education. But the question remains: will AI replace teachers, or can teachers leverage it to improve their lessons? We have to think of this while considering the pros and cons of using AI.
This course aims to equip teachers with the knowledge and skills to effectively integrate AI tools into their daily practices, catering to diverse student needs and scenarios.
It will improve participants’ confidence in utilizing AI tools and streamline curriculum development, including the creation of lesson plans and assessments, leaving more time to focus on monitoring and guiding student learning progress.
Throughout the course, participants will explore utilizing AI to craft original and personalized materials, leveraging prompts to tailor learning experiences to individual students’ proficiency levels, thereby providing targeted support and maximizing their potential.
They will also discover how AI can facilitate the development of creative learning resources, as well as formative and summative assessments, while seamlessly integrating project-based learning and AI technologies.
By the course’s conclusion, participants will have engaged in interactive and practical tasks, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the myriad benefits of AI for both teachers and students.
This newfound knowledge will empower them to bring their innovative ideas to life, tailored to their unique educational environments.
