AI in Education: A Workshop for B.Ed. Students
September 19
In this in-class workshop, we explored generative AI in education contexts with Teacher Candidates in the BEd Program. We discussed how Teacher Candidates are using AI and demonstrated and experimented with Micosoft Copilot. We explored how AI works, and some of the ethical issues of using this technology, looking specifically at the BC K-12 context. We also invited critical conversations about using AI for course work and in K-12 classrooms.

AI for Language Learning: A Workshop for ELI
September 20
In this workshop, we explored AI in a language learning context. We discussed how AI is already being used in English language learning classrooms, and demonstrated some tools with utility for language learning, as well as their limitations. We demonstrated Copilot text and voice functionality and ElevenLabs AI Voice cloning. We also facilitated critical conversations surrounding ethical AI use, student privacy, language accuracy, AI literacy, confidence building and how certain types of English are privileged over others in the AI sphere.
