Why Educators Will Love This Course
This course was created specifically for the realities of K–12 education.
Rather than simply showing teachers the latest AI tools, Arizona State University helps educators think critically about when and how AI should be used—while keeping teacher judgment and student learning at the center.
Teachers also create something they can take back to their classrooms: a personalized AI Integration Plan that includes an AI-powered lesson plan, a student-facing activity, and an approach for communicating with parents about AI.
And with under 10 hours of content, educators can develop meaningful AI skills without committing to a lengthy professional learning program.
