A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

As a business education teacher with 20 years of classroom experience, I understand the hesitation many of us feel about integrating Artificial Intelligence into our teaching. At our school, our first instinct was to block it altogether. But like calculators in math, the internet in research, and eBooks in libraries, AI isn't going away. It's the next evolution of how we teach and how students learn.

Whether we feel ready or not, our students will be using these tools in the real world. It's up to us to guide them in using AI effectively, responsibly, and creatively.

I'm excited to invite you to a dynamic one-day seminar where I'll share practical, classroom-tested ways AI can transform business education. From streamlining assessments and feedback to creating engaging lessons and automating daily tasks, AI has helped me reduce my workload while giving students a more personalized, meaningful learning experience.

Join me as we explore how AI can support your teaching, save you time, and elevate your students' learning. You'll leave with tools, strategies, and inspiration to confidently bring AI into your Grades 6-12 business classrooms.

I look forward to learning and growing together at the seminar!

Sincerely,
Diane Marsh

P.S. Now is the time to embrace the benefits of using Artificial Intelligence tools and resources to enhance student learning and increase your productivity as a business ed teacher!
