AI Literacy for Adults:  Humanities-Based Approach to Safe and  Effective Use

12-1 pm EDT October 9, 2024, online


In this second event of the AI in Practice series, Mike Kentz discusses a new way of using AI, one that leverages your existing skills and removes the fog and mystery from a process we already know and understand. Discover what safe and effective use of AI looks like, thereby bringing you one step closer to incorporating in your classroom in a way that is understandable, effective, and helpful to your students. 


Mike Kentz is an award-winning educator with over 14 years of experience across journalism and teaching. He is a TEDx Speaker and his work in AI in Education has been featured in EdSurge, Edutopia, the Wall Street Journal, Canadian National Radio, and more. His workshops have been formulated as a product of direct classroom experience in 2023-24, when he developed a ground-breaking approach to teaching with AI in the classroom that has since been accepted for presentation at multiple national and regional education conferences. These experiences now inform his unique, humanities-based approach to developing AI literacy among adults and students and helping schools to adapt to the advancement of artificial intelligence.
