Introduction to AI literacy

Overview

Educators learn to use AI, generative AI, and Microsoft tools to personalize learning, automate tasks, and provide insights for education.Upon completion of this module, you'll be able to:

Describe generative AI in the broader context of AI in terms of how these systems work and what they can do. Explain what a large language model (LLM) is and the basics of how it works.

Use generative and summative capabilities of LLMs (generate text, expand from main points, condense into main points, answer questions based on given text, etc.). Summarize potential impacts.

Explain how AI can be used to improve learning outcomes, reduce educator workload, and increase learner engagement. Explain how the use of AI can help make learning more accessible and inclusive.

A human-centered mindset Ethics of AI AI foundations and applications AI pedagogy AI for professional development Educators learn to use AI responsibly by building accurate mental models and a simple reflection routine.Upon completion of this module, you'll be able to:

Document an AI-supported decision using a short, repeatable decision log. Analyze outcomes over time and identify one pattern that suggests an adjustment.

Select one adjustment that increases learning quality, integrity, privacy, or trust. Design a short explanation that communicates what the system did and what the educator decided.

Design simple explanations of AI use that keep responsibility visible for students, colleagues, and families. ISTE Standards for Educators:
