Join the ChangED team as we dive into the intersection of AI and education with Dr. MaryJo Yannacone, Superintendent of Springfield Township School District, as she shares her transformative journey integrating artificial intelligence into secondary education. Inspired by Matthew Ball's "Metaverse," Dr. Yannacone discusses how her district is pioneering AI implementation while maintaining academic integrity. Learn about their innovative "stoplight" system for AI usage, the integration of tools like ChatGPT and Brisk, and how they're empowering students to use AI as a supportive tool while developing their authentic voices.
