In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, it’s crucial to understand Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just an option—it’s a necessity. Yet, many educators understandably find themselves grappling with the complexities of AI, unsure of how to harness its power effectively in the classroom. A lack of AI literacy can lead to irresponsible AI usage in the classroom or a missed opportunity to utilize an effective tool; however, since AI is still in its infancy, AI literacy is not a commonly taught practice yet.
