How Educators Can Use Artificial Intelligence as a Teaching Tool

Deb Norton spends her days helping teachers in Wisconsin's Oshkosh Area school district get more comfortable with technology tools they're using to engage students. A few years ago, she started seeing increasing mentions of artificial intelligence. Around then, the International Society for Technology in Education asked her to lead a course on the uses of artificial intelligence in the K-12 classroom. She was initially intrigued when she saw students light up at the mention of artificial intelligence. It soon became clear to her that they were already experiencing AI in their daily lives, with tools like Instagram filters or chatbots on websites.
