We ARE the Jetsons.
Dear Faculty,
AI, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Chat Bots, and more! There is no doubt that each day we hear a word, read a headline, or have a conversation about Artificial Intelligence. The reality is that the TV show we grew up watching, The Jetsons that is, has become pretty close to reality, albeit flying cars…give it time. So how does this affect teaching and learning? In our newsletter this week you will find new resources on how to engage with AI productively as well as links to previous newsletters about AI. AI is here to stay and just like a conversation with ChatGPT each day brings innovative ways to use it, and we must teach students how to use it effectively.

It’s important because it ensures that people with disabilities can participate fully in all aspects of life.
