Description
As we conceptualized this presentation, there were 173 recorded AI models; by 2025, there were 184. By May of 2025, who knows? How can we possibly keep up with which AI tools are best for our learners? This session offers trial-and-error informed lessons about staying up to date with and evaluating the tools educators and learners need within this fast-moving ecosystem. Beyond functionality, we consider a tool’s role in supporting a safe, accessible, skill-building environment. Whether deep in the technological trenches or skimming the surface of what AI means, attendees will gain actionable insights for efficient tool evaluation.
