wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2408_04355b-d4\">&nbsp;&nbsp;This session is open to all experience levels. I will demonstrate some ideas for professional development to introduce students in the middle school levels of artificial intelligence tools. Emphasis will also be placed on allowing students to question the pros and cons of these tools. Participants will be shown a few structured professional development models used with success as well as have the ability to experiment with tools that were demonstrated to students in stations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id2408_7d8a43-e4 >
