GenAI readiness and implementation modules
As generative AI (GenAI) becomes an increasingly important tool in education, it's essential for teachers to understand both its potential and its limitations. This two-module offering equips teachers with the knowledge and practical skills to use GenAI tools like Copilot effectively in the classroom. Teachers will enhance their own digital literacy while learning how to guide students in using AI responsibly and thoughtfully. By focusing on teacher readiness and practical classroom strategies, the modules support the development of students who can navigate AI in both classroom and everyday contexts. The modules were developed in collaboration with Microsoft.
