Facilitators will show how to access the SORA book bundles, how to get School AI certifications, ideas of ways to use AI in the classroom, ways to integrate School AI with Adobe Express, Canva and Destiny.
Individualized Help and Suggestions: Participants can sign up (or come in unannounced) to get hands-on help with their classrooms.
