Don’t Miss Out on AI Credentials, AI-Focused Leadership Summit
The AI-focused sessions will address boosting student mental health, empowering district leaders, techniques for teaching and assessment, navigating ethical landmines, AI’s impact on augmented and virtual reality and more. In one of the sessions, CDW and Advanced Learning Partnerships will share lessons learned from schools that took a year to intentionally implement AI. There will even be a student panel on AI.
For the first time, convention organizers will offer a leadership summit for administrators to take a deep dive into how emerging technologies can impact some of the most pressing issues in K–12. The summit will include several panel discussions and workshops addressing AI and its impact on leadership, cybersecurity and data privacy.
Those looking to hone their expertise in generative AI, may want to consider getting one of TCEA’s newest microcredentials: AI in Education. Attendees will need to attend at least six sessions to earn the credential. Sessions range from increasing student inquiry, defending against AI cyberbullies, customizing your AI teaching assistant and mastering prompt engineering.
Learn How to Lock Down Student Data
Even though more states have joined the federal government in offering K–12 schools cybersecurity funding, guidance and support, there is a lot more to learn about protecting student data. Some of the cybersecurity sessions at this year’s convention will address cybersecurity and AI, cyber resilience, cybersecurity controls, using AI to automate your security stack, vigilance through systematic thinking and a Google for Education security workshop.
