This workshop is a part of the Data and Computational Science Series.
With advances in generative AI, the set of tools available to your students has greatly expanded. Can computational tools find a place in your classroom as well? Jump-start your exploration of the implications of new technology for curriculum design and assessment. Demystify the technology behind generative AI in order to ground the conversation and discover how new tools create new opportunities for educators and students.
This workshop will consist of a 60 minute presentation followed by 30 minutes for Q&A with the speaker.
Speaker Bio:
John McNally received his B.S. in physics and M.Ed. in curriculum and instruction from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Before joining Wolfram Research, he taught mathematics and physics for K-12 students, where he strove to make concepts from university courses and research accessible to a wider audience. While teaching, John became interested in new ways for students to learn the future skill of computational thinking. He now works with the Academic Innovation Support team to help educators implement curricula of the future. Aside from education, he maintains an avid hobbyist's interest in astronomy, history and film.
