To celebrate National AI Literacy Day, Michigan Virtual is hosting an online webinar at 11 a.m. Friday, March 28 for educators and parents to learn more about how to navigate the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence within schools. Parents and teachers are encouraged to register to attend for free.

The webinar will provide an overview on AI literacy efforts in K-12 education and presenters will also provide an in-depth look at how a number of Michigan schools and organizations have led AI literacy work, including AI-enhanced instructional practices, professional learning delivery, student-driven AI policy development, and community stakeholder engagement.

“Given how quickly AI is evolving and the likelihood that today’s students will need to understand its implications for their role in the future workforce, we’re proud to be able to share important information about it with parents and educators,” said AI Learning Strategist at Michigan Virtual Justin Bruno. “It’s important for communities across Michigan to be supported with a solid and safe foundation in AI literacy and know that their schools are being supported by Michigan Virtual and our partners.”

The following educational leaders will present during the webinar:

• Michelle Gierman, Artificial Intelligence Consultant, Avondale School District

• Andrea Zellner, Learning Design Consultant, Oakland Schools
