Through a combination of student presentations( case studies), demonstrations, and interactive activities, participants will gain insights, tips, and actionable ideas for enhancing their classroom practices and side hustles while promoting social good.","Description":"This session will provide an exploratory dive into the importance of responsible use of AI and Chat GPT in education and entrepreneurship. By exploring the potential and pitfalls of AI technology, we aim to empower participants to harness AI & Chat GPT benefits for educational and professional success.\r\n\r\nThrough practical strategies and actionable ideas, we will provide attendees with the tools to integrate AI and Chat GPT in a manner that promotes inclusivity, access, and fairness. We will emphasize the ethical considerations associated with AI, including data privacy, bias mitigation, and responsible algorithmic decision-making.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, by co-presenting with high school students, we ensure that diverse voices are represented, fostering a sense of inclusion and promoting representation of underrepresented groups in discussions around AI and technology integration.\r\n\r\nThe session will also highlight the relevance of AI and Chat GPT in addressing educational and societal inequities. Moreover, by exploring the entrepreneurial potential of Chat GPT, we encourage participants to leverage AI for social good, addressing community needs and promoting inclusive economic development. By sharing innovative approaches and success stories, we hope to inspire attendees to use AI technology to create opportunities and make a positive impact in underserved communities.\r\nIn summary, this session advances Equitable Development by promoting responsible AI usage, fostering inclusivity, addressing educational disparities, and empowering participants to leverage AI and Chat GPT for equitable and sustainable educational and entrepreneurial practices.","Link":["http:\/\/www.uschool.org\/","https:\/\/www.sriiiconsulting.org\/"],"Audience":["High School","All School Levels"],"Practice":"The audience will be directly engaged through a variety of interactive activities and discussions. Participants will have the opportunity to experience AI and Chat GPT firsthand through demonstrations and guided exercises. Small group discussions will encourage collaboration, allowing attendees to share their insights, ask questions, and brainstorm ideas for integrating AI into their classrooms and entrepreneurial ventures. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, dedicated time for Q&A and a student case studies discussion with the lead presenter and student co-presenters will provide an interactive platform for participants to engage, seek clarifications, and gain diverse perspectives. This session is designed to actively involve the audience, ensuring an engaging and participatory learning experience.\r\n\r\nDuring our workshop, participants will actively engage in dynamic conversation, including students who will co-present. Here are some ways we will ensure their experiences and perspectives are integrated:\r\n\r\nContent Expertise: Students will share their firsthand experiences of using AI and Chat GPT in the classroom, providing unique insights into its practical applications.\r\n\r\nEffective Communication: The session will include panel discussions where students will actively communicate their experiences and perspectives on using AI for learning and innovation.\r\n\r\nCollaboration: Students will join group activities and discussions, collaborating with other participants to explore AI's potential in education and entrepreneurship.\r\n\r\nCritical Thinking & Problem Solving: Students will engage in problem-solving scenarios, offering their perspectives on addressing challenges related to AI integration.\r\n\r\nSelf-Directed Learning: Students will share how they've independently explored and applied AI technology to enhance their learning and side hustles.\r\n\r\nAcademic Mindsets: By participating as co-presenters, students will exemplify an academic mindset, demonstrating their enthusiasm for learning and leveraging AI for positive change.","Presenter":["Samuel A.

As educators, how do we measure what matters and use it to inform our design and iteration? 'Portraiture' is a unique form of qualitative research that has potential to reimagine how we measure impact, collect impact data, and use data for design work in school settings.","Description":"Workshop U is a new college program where students develop a vision for what they want their life to look like now and the skill set to make that vision a reality. Through this process, students earn competency based college credits, complete at least one paid internship per year and receive personalized coaching to ensure they thrive along the way.  This first year pilot is serving as a lab that will provide the learnings to ultimately grow Workshop U into a degree bearing program. HOW DO WE gather, measure and learn from meaningful data to inform our design and iteration?\r\n\r\n\r\n'Portraiture' is a unique form of qualitative research that has potential to reimagine how we measure impact, collect impact data, and use data for design work in school settings. Portraiture shares some features of other research methods \u2013\u2013 ethnography, case study, narrative \u2013\u2013 but it is distinctive in its blending of aesthetics and empiricism in an effort to capture the complexity, dynamics, and subtlety of human experience and organizational life.\r\n\r\n\r\nPortraiture first came to prominence through the works of Dr. Sarah Lawrence Lightfoot, who created the method to better document the culture of schools and school communities.  Her works of portraiture have been used as breakthrough research in the education field. For example, her work The Good High School (which, in \"disavowing the negative, absolutist tone of much school criticism, she suggests that high schools should shape their images by the more realistic standard of a \"good enough\" school, not by setting minimum requirements but by recognizing and addressing \"imperfections, uncertainties, and vulnerabilities.\"\") was used as a narrative blueprint for hosts of school redesigns. \r\n\r\n\r\nPortraiture says: for educators to be able to feel a school come alive in writing... to really understand the human mechanisms and moods of it, is what tips research over the edge to actually translate to new practice. Portraiture has the opportunity to hold both rigor and accessibility in hand. To make the intangibles of good schools legible and replicable to others in a way that traditional qualitative or quantitative approaches, which can flatten and blur the texture of school culture and pedagogy, cannot.\r\n\r\n\r\nWe will discuss 'portraiture' and its methods, discuss the utility and limitations for use in school settings, and using Workshop U as a case study, look at examples of portraiture being captured to understand the efficacy of a new school's pilot year.","Link":["http:\/\/www.workshopu.org"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"Our conversation will anchor on a few essential questions that will engage small groups and then be shared in a large group format.
