As part of this course you can sign up for a free account in a generative artificial intelligence tool designed for teaching and learning, research based, and trained by educators, Colleague AI.

As we prepare scholars for life after high school, we know that technology will play an important role in college and careers, and specifically in STEM careers. A rapidly emerging technology is Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) technologies such as ChatGPT from OpenAi, or Microsoft's Bing Copilot which uses ChatGPT 4 and Dall-E image generation technology. Another teacher tool available to FWPS staff is Colleague AI.  "Colleague integrates cutting-edge AI technology with knowledge in effective teaching to curate Open Education Resources. Human domain experts, assisted by our domain-specific algorithms, review lesson materials to ensure rigor, engagingness, and inclusivity." (Colleague AI, August 2024)
