Purpose

How can AI technology be used responsibly and impactful for teaching and learning? This online symposium explores how schools can use AI in a range of settings from classrooms, library settings, professional settings as well as how different stakeholder groups can and need to support responsible AI deployment.  

Overview

The “AI for All Symposium: Bridging Classrooms, Libraries and Learning Communities” is an engaging 2.5-hour online event designed for teachers, school librarians, coaches, administrators and coordinators committed to integrating AI ethically and intentionally into the fabric of educational environments.
