AI Curriculum for K-12
Hannah Hauser
Mrs. Z. Pinto
Hello friends,Our district passed a policy for AI where we are expected to teach students appropriate/safe use of AI in all grades K-12, at age-appropriate levels. Does anyone know of any vendors selling K-12 district curriculum products about AI usage for students? I am obviously hoping to get something ultimately for free or very low cost, but am open to anything at this point. If you've tried anything, or have heard good things about anything, I'd very much appreciate the input. Thanks!
