Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) is technology designed to create new text, visual, and audio content.  While it is not a new concept, it has been recently simplified and made accessible to the average user.  GAI can be used to streamline workflows and automate repetitive tasks like writing reports or summarizing data.

HEB ISD embraces AI as a tool to enhance learning experiences in our classrooms.  The resources provided below outline our district’s approach and offer guidance on the effective use of AI in the classroom. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into education, we encourage all staff to familiarize themselves with AI tools and their appropriate applications. For questions or support regarding AI integration into your teaching, please contact your Instructional Technology Coach. We look forward to assisting you.
