The Intersection of AI and EI
Michelle Trostle
This session will begin with an overview of the foundations of explicit instruction: a teaching approach that focuses on clarity of lesson design and delivery so that students learn. Attention will then be turned to emerging generative AI platforms and the benefits and cautions of leveraging these resources for designing explicit instruction. Participants are encouraged to bring an internet connected device such as a laptop or tablet as the session will conclude with participants using an AI prompt to generate instructional material for possible use in their setting.
