A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

From ChatGPT to TikTok algorithms to shopping recommendations, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in our lives and its impact on education continues to grow. We are past the point of being able to ignore or simply ban AI from our schools and classrooms; instead, we need to understand how to leverage these technologies to improve student outcomes, differentiate instruction, and improve student engagement while teaching students how to navigate these tools ethically.

Based on my years of experience as a science educator, I'm excited about the potential of AI tools to transform the way we teach and how our students learn science. In this seminar, we will explore the AI platforms that are the best suited for science classrooms and learn how to best utilize these technologies to streamline our practice while improving outcomes for students. I will teach you to avoid the common pitfalls associated with AI technologies and provide you with practical, effective tools and strategies you can use to teach your students how to use AI ethically and responsibly.

I invite you to join me for this valuable experience that will inspire and motivate you to return to your classroom and immediately implement the resources and cutting-edge instructional techniques I will share at this seminar. To help support this experience, you will be provided with an extensive digital resource handbook that includes the resources shared during the seminar. I will respect your time by only sharing the best resources and strategies to help ALL your students be successful in learning science.

I look forward to meeting you at the seminar!

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Mirra

P.S. As an experienced secondary educator, I understand the extra effort it takes to be out of the classroom. I promise you that our day together will be worth your time and that you will leave with dozens of ready-to-use, practical ideas and strategies you can implement immediately.
