This was a great class. Seeing where we use AI in our education system and where we are going was eye-opening. I honestly didn't realize how much AI we already use in our school system. After taking this class, I am very excited to integrate more AI and to find ways to facilitate it as a tool with my students. Very worth taking.

I really enjoyed this course. It gave a clear and balanced look at how AI is changing education. I liked that it showed both the good things AI can do and the challenges it brings. One of my favorite parts were the engaging videos. it made learning about AI easier and more fun. The course also helped me think more about how to use AI in smart and responsible ways. I feel more prepared to bring what I learned into my own teaching. This is a great course for any educator who wants to better understand AI.

This course was a good first step into learning more about AI. Time was spent learning about how AI can be a lucrative tool for teachers and students. We also explored reasons to be cautious with AI.
