British Columbia: Artificial Intelligence in Action to Spark Innovation in the Classroom
At the recent Canadian Edtech Leadership Summit, West Vancouver School District Superintendent Chris Kennedy shared his vision of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into schools. He encourages teachers to familiarize themselves with AI technologies by using them personally, before implementing them in the learning environment, to increase engagement. In British Columbia, a flexible approach to AI in education allows school districts to tailor their policies. According to Chris Kennedy, promoting the sharing of innovative practices instead of their replication fosters an educational system that can adapt to change.
