OpenAI & Common Sense Media Launch Free AI Course for K-12 Educators

In January, OpenAI and Common Sense Media rolled out the 'ChatGPT Foundations for K-12 Educators,' a free one-hour, nine-lesson course aimed at empowering teachers with AI tools. Piloted in nearly a dozen districts, a whopping 98% of participants found new strategies to boost their teaching. Covering essentials like data privacy and ethical AI use, the course is accessible without a ChatGPT Edu subscription. Despite 70% of students already using ChatGPT, some educators worry AI might do more harm than good. Will this initiative transform classrooms or face continued skepticism? Only time will tell!
