Artificial Intelligence in Education

Students from South Shore PreK-8

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here to stay. As this technology continues to evolve, educators must prepare students to understand and use these tools. In Washington state, educators are already integrating AI-assisted technologies in schools and supporting students to do the same.

In this webinar, we spotlight how AI is now being used in the classroom, explore which guardrails must be in place to protect students and families, and discuss skills students will need to be ready for the workforce.

Panelists:

  • Sinan Farawila, a junior at Hanford High School in the Richland School District and a member of the Association of Washington Student Leaders (AWSL)
  • Liana Jennings, a senior at Henry M. Jackson High School in the Everett School District and a member of AWSL
  • Katelyn Cockrum, a senior at Monroe High School in the Monroe School District and a member of AWSL
  • Camille Jones, Digital Education Coach at the Quincy School District and the 2017 Washington state Teacher of the Year
  • Babak Mostaghimi, Founding Partner at LearnerStudio
  • Bree Dusseault, Principal and Managing Director at the Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE)
  • Dr. Min Sun, a professor at the University of Washington College of Education and Co-Founder of Colleague AI
  • Jolenta Coleman-Bush, Director of Education, Workforce, and AI Skills at Microsoft Philanthropies

Moderated by Arik Korman, CEO of League of Education Voters.
