How you craft AI prompts determines your results! The same is true with questions of Google, Alexa, Siri, and even humans! Participants in this session will explore ways AI can be utilized to enhance the educational experience of all learners.  They will learn to think like a philosopher, question like a scientist, and create like an artist – all by wielding the power of the perfect prompt using the CRAFT Framework (Context, Role, Audience, Format, Task, and Tone).  Attention will be given to helping students use AI to enhance critical thinking, creativity, and independent learning, rather than tripping into replacing thinking or even cheating.

Dr. Brian Housand will be presenting at Herriman High School.
