KIC Conference - National Speaker Anne Truger

Kansas Infinitec Coalition's 19th Annual Conference

Workshop Title: The Modern Educator's AI Toolkit: A Practical Workshop for Today's Educator

Description: The landscape of education is rapidly changing, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of this transformation. This dynamic, full-day workshop is designed to empower educators with the practical knowledge and hands-on skills needed to ethically and effectively integrate AI into their daily practice. Through a multi-lens approach (teacher, administrator, and therapist), we will explore how AI can revolutionize individualized instruction, streamline administrative tasks, enhance communication, and foster greater independence for students with diverse learning needs. This is not about replacing the human element, but rather leveraging AI as a powerful tool to amplify our impact. We will explore several tools and prompt writing styles. 

National speaker, Anne Truger, will present the workshop. Register here.
