Discussion:
Mr. Picquet updated the board on the AESA national conference. AI was discussed and federal programs. Nebraska has core service dollars and other funding, while some states have to fund themselves. There were many ESU members from Nebraska that attended.
Member Stevens discussed that things we do in Nebraska are exceptional and many states look highly on how we run our system. Mr. Picquet discussed with the board how AI is evolving and how to use it in the classroom was highly discussed. This will be a learning curve for kids and teachers. How quickly the AI is moving and how we need to keep up with it and learn to use it. Look at it as a tool and how to use it and how to put boundaries on it. On February 20, 2024 ESU 6 will come and present to staff and teachers on AI, and then they will do a one-day presentation for students. |
