How to Handle Artificial Intelligence in the Classroom

As the new school year approaches, Education Week wrote an article to guide educators as they develop a strategy for the presence of artificial intelligence.

Academic Innovations CEO, Mindy Bingham, was one of the first voices to discuss AI in the classroom, specifically in elementary schools, and she states, "Until a child is literate, can read and comprehend what they are reading, write clearly and convincingly, and compute through basic algebra using only their own brainpower, do not introduce artificial intelligence into the elementary classroom."

Before you head back into the classroom, read Mindy’s thoughts on utilizing AI in the classroom that can translate across all grade levels.
