| Leveling Up Learning: Unleashing the Power of AI in Education |
| Julie Smith, MS |
| The "AI train" has left the station - are we on it? Author and professor Julie Smith will explore the transformative power of AI and how we can harness the unlimited possibilities to foster personal and engaging pedagogy as well as increase our own productivity with various AI tools. The "future ready" student should know how to evaluate and implement AI materials - as should we. Julie has been on faculty at Webster University in St Louis for 22 years, is the author of "Master the Media: How Teaching Media Literacy Can Save our Plugged-In World", and is the Co-Host of the "What the Media" podcast. She has been interviewed by the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Arizona Republic and Associated Press, is a regular guest on KMOX radio and KMOV television, and has presented in fourteen countries on four continents. |
