Smart Teaching: AI-Driven Solutions with ChatGPT and Beyond
DESCRIPTION
Most educators know AI is changing everything. Few know how to actually use it. This course changes that. In 6 days, you'll go from confused to confident.
You'll understand how AI really works — and more importantly, you'll know exactly how to use it to save time, reach every learner, and teach better than ever before. No fluff.
No theory for theory's sake. Just the tools, the frameworks, and the practice you need — starting on Day 1. — human or artificial?
This course is a hands-on, deeply immersive course for educators who want to go far beyond the basics and genuinely understand the AI tools reshaping education.
COMPETENCES
You'll finally understand how AI works — and be able to explain it clearly to anyone in your school.
You'll write prompts that actually get results, every time, using three battle-tested frameworks.
You'll know how to use AI to reach every learner in your room — including those others struggle to reach.
You'll create images, videos, presentations, music, and voice content — with tools you can use tomorrow.
You'll always stay in control. The AI works for you — not the other way around.
You'll have a full toolkit of real platforms, tested and ready: NotebookLM, Google Gems, AI video, and more.
You'll leave with a clear plan for the next 90 days — so nothing gets lost when you go home.
You'll apply this knowledge confidently in your teaching environment.
METHODOLOGY
Every session starts with a clear “why.” You always know why what you’re learning matters — before you touch a single tool.
You use the tools in the room, in real time. No watching. No waiting. Doing — prompting, creating, generating, and evaluating outputs guided by the facilitator.
Three proven frameworks. You practise them until they’re second nature, giving you repeatable, transferable strategies for communicating with AI.
You’ll be challenged to think differently — exploring creativity, constraints, style shifting, and unexpected AI applications.
You’re not alone. Real conversations with peers who face the same questions, building a shared critical literacy across the cohort.
You test the tools yourself and decide what works for your context — from NotebookLM and Google Gems to image generators, video tools, and audio enhancers.
You leave with your plan — not a template. Your goals, your tools, your first steps, ensuring the course translates directly into professional practice.
You drive the AI. Every time. That’s non-negotiable.
