Whether you’re a classroom teacher or a district admin, we are all surrounded by information. In today’s digital-first educational landscape, the ability to swiftly analyse, interpret and leverage data stands at the heart of effective teaching and administrative decision-making. Using just regular conversation, we’ll harness the power of AI to give us answers about our data and navigate the sea of information we encounter daily.
This hands-on workshop demystifies the process of data manipulation through the lens of conversational coding, making it accessible to all regardless of technical background. Embarking on this journey, participants will be guided through interactive exercises demonstrating how conversational coding can streamline their daily tasks and administrative duties. By translating everyday challenges into conversational commands, attendees will unlock the potential to save significant time and enhance productivity. This session is not just about learning how to leverage large language models – it’s about reimagining the efficiency of educational workflows through the power of AI.
By the end of this workshop, participants will not only grasp the fundamentals of conversational coding but will also take away a toolkit of strategies and applications that can be immediately implemented in their classrooms and schools. Join us and learn how to translate speech into functional code, explore how AI can serve as your personal programmer, opening new avenues for teaching, learning and educational management.
