The Association for Media Literacy Presents: Unpacking Machine Learning – A Critical Exploration of AI for K-12 Teachers – Part 1

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays an increasingly significant role in education, teachers, education workers, and learners must build a critical understanding of how it works, its potential benefits, and the challenges it brings. The webinar will discuss how AI can support creative and critical exploration and make connections to the Association for Media Literacy’s (AML) critical frameworks for analysis and teaching. Moses Velasco, OTF Director for Curriculum and Assessment, will be the guest facilitator. Click here for Moses’ CV.
