List of ways I have explored AI's use in school.
Most of it is teacher use. Though a few ideas for how it could be implemented with students does exist, that's not a primary focus of this presentation, partially because schools/teachers are so hesitant to use AI in school as it is (lack of training, concerns regarding cognitive atrophe, etc.).
This presentation went really well (after starting with tech issues).
