Hi Jodie,

Here’s a link to a folder that I’ve been curating. The document with the links is not well-organized, but it has a lot of resources. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hhNWz5xiDarS8hZcOwyRkEBYIYKaeYCB?usp=drive_link Sorry it’s a long link. My connection to Drive in my email stopped working. Let me know if you can’t access.

My district is behind in its use and knowledge of AI. It is just starting to be discussed. I’m sure there are teachers using  it, but there is no central hub that I am aware of. I am part of the committee that will be working on guidelines, etc.

Good Morning,

I'm circling back to this email from October.  Can anyone offer any suggestions of  AI tools your district is using (all levels) and which to steer clear of.

Thank you,

Hello Colleagues,

Does anyone have a suggestion for using an alternative to ChatGPT in schools, or another AI tool that doesn't require students to provide personal information?
Any and all ideas will be helpful.

Thanks,
Christine
