Curriculum and Instruction
Artificial Intelligence refers to computer systems designed to mimic the way humans think. AI is able to complete certain tasks in a similar way to us, but very quickly, and with great detail.
In the classroom, AI can be used in a variety of ways. It can provide 1:1 tutoring to students, assist learners in writing and interpreting texts, and provide teachers with drafts of lesson plans and parent communication.
In this section, we will provide some resources for using AI effectively across grade bands.
