From Idea to Impact: How Generative AI Enhances Teaching Design

Discover the transformative power of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) in education. While the possibilities of GAI continue to evolve, its immediate application can significantly enhance teaching strategies. This session, led by Jason, NCCE's Tech-Savvy Administrator-in-Residence, focuses not on direct AI interactions with students, but on empowering educators to harness GAI as a tool for crafting more dynamic, responsive, and engaging instructional materials. Join us to explore practical examples and pioneering experiments conducted at the Montana Digital Academy, where GAI is providing super powers to revolutionizing the art of instructional design.
