Description: Artificial intelligence is much, much more than ChatGPT. In this innovative webinar, participants will explore a novel teaching strategy of how students can ethically leverage generative AI tools to create a movie version of Macbeth. In this activity, students use common filmmaking techniques to prompt a genAI model to get their desired result. As an added benefit, students will begin understanding complex literary ideas and concepts. Join us for this webinar where we showcase an exciting new way to integrate generative AI into ELA curriculum.

Overview of program

AI Explorations and Their Practical Use in School Environments© is an ISTE professional learning program funded by General Motors that cultivates future AI programmers and provides professional learning for educators to support student-driven AI explorations. Our goals are to:

Create scalable, best-in-class professional learning experiences for educators that can spread the knowledge of a variety of approaches to using artificial intelligence (AI) in classrooms
Cultivate student driven AI explorations and practical use in school environments
Draw underrepresented student populations who might otherwise never consider AI as relevant to them to explore interdisciplinary associated careers.
Develop an AI teacher and students coaching and mentorship network with the active participation of AI experts from corporate R&D teams, STEM higher education faculty and K-12 subject matter experts.
