Teachable Moments: AI toolkit

TRANSCRIPT:

For South Carolina Public Radio, I'm Dr. Rénard Harris from the College of Charleston. This is Teachable Moments, a minute of education for students and parents.

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Educational Technology recently released a toolkit to help K-12 leaders integrate artificial intelligence. The guidance, focusing on mitigating risks, strategically using AI, and enhancing classroom learning, arrives as many schools still lack an AI policy.

My colleague, Ian O’Byrne, associate professor of Literacy Education, says this toolkit is essential for establishing a foundation in data literacy, to help educators protect student privacy and understand potential biases.

By building data literacy skills, teachers can ensure AI use aligns with the educational community’s values and supports students.

For the College of Charleston, I’m Dr. Rénard Harris.

Rénard Harris is an Associate Professor of Management in the School of Business at the College of Charleston (2022-present). He teaches courses in Leadership and courses in Managing Diversity. His leadership course focuses on the dynamics of effective leadership, positive influence, and clear vision. His Managing Diversity course focuses on exploring culture, experiences, and identity as asset and resource of those less heard and less seen.
