Course Description
TeachSmart AI: Turning Possibility into Practicemoves you from AI curiosity to confident implementation. Across five bite-sized modules—ranging from “What’s Possible and What’s Not” to “Hands-On Activities with AI”—you’ll separate hype from reality, explore best-practice guardrails, and design routines that keep human pedagogy front and center. We’ll analyze common misconceptions, practice critical evaluation of tools, and map AI’s role in supporting (not replacing) teacher expertise. By the end you’ll draft a ready-to-run lesson that showcases Hybrid AI in action, empowers students as responsible prompt engineers, and fits your curriculum like a glove.
