In their commitment to future-forward education, the team at Shifting Schools is excited to announce the launch of their 3-month Generative AI Cohort, a program designed to demystify AI for educators and bring its latest developments to their inboxes. The Generative AI Cohort aims to empower educators by providing them with the tools and knowledge to integrate AI into their teaching methods. The journey kicks off each month with a 30-minute live webinar that simplifies AI and explores its applications in education. From there, educators receive a ready-to-roll resource each month, utilizing one of the AI frameworks. This enables them to apply their learning directly to their classrooms. The program also includes updates on AI's rapid evolution, a curated list of new AI tools to experiment with, and new favorite prompts for members to play around with. As an added bonus, there's an optional Slack channel for all cohort members to share, connect, and collectively shape the future of education. Together, this podcast episode and the Generative AI Cohort serve as a compelling invitation for educators to dive into the world of design thinking and AI, powering the future of learning.
