Building AI Literacy in Your School or District Video
This 60-minute webinar from AI for Education explores key strategies and tools necessary to foster artificial intelligence (AI) literacy skills in school classrooms and communities as part of National AI Literacy Day. Panelists introduce a four-step approach: defining AI literacy and its potential use; creating a cross-functional team of leaders, teachers, students, IT staff, and board members; understanding current practices; and developing a comprehensive AI literacy plan that commences as early as kindergarten. The webinar emphasizes that AI literacy considers the knowledge, skills, and ethics necessary for effective and responsible AI use, which includes the involvement of both parents and students. Strategies for implementation include embedding AI literacy into existing professional development, creating a supportive training environment, and creating a timeline for action.
