AI in the Classroom Examples

Are you using AI tools in the classroom?

Have you changed an assessment task to leverage AI in some way, shape, or form?

We’d love to hear more about it!

Shannon and Kasson will be presenting our early AI journey at the upcoming ACAMIS conference and would love to share a few examples of how AI tools are being used at NIS. Please drop us a quick line and we’ll come chat. We promise to share back what we pick up from other schools as well!

Thanks!
