Use AI to Kickstart your Year Off Right, and Beyond
Are you looking to increase your efficiency and effectiveness in your role as an educator? Teacher? Administrator, Counselor? We can all offload mundane tasks to liberate us to get to the real work of teaching and learning. The solution? AI tools and tricks!

 
If AI seems like 1 more new thing that you don't have time to figure out, think again! here's one quick example of many that you'll learn about in this session, perfectly timed to get you started with the school year right:
Have you ever received an email that was way too long, you knew you had to find that kernel that mattered in the 7th paragraph, but didn't have the time? I use AI to tell me what action items I need to respond to, in 3 sentences and it saves me time, while helping me respond to time sensitive items. 
In this session, you will learn a dozen invaluable time saving tricks like this. But that's not all. You will also learn how to access the latest and greatest tools for EDUCATORS,for YOU. For example, how about an AI tool that helps you teach how to research ethically, efficiently and without plagiarism? 

 
With all the information about ethical concerns, find the tools and methods to not only navigate AI, but leverage it to save you time and free you up to focus on important stuff in your job, not the mundane. Sign up now, you won't want to miss this engaging, productive, fun session, and be able to use the tools and tips tomorrow, to get the year off on the right foot, and keep it going!
