SUMMARY:Remember the Human: Deploying AI in Your District Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Sessions Everyone Was Talking About Webinar Series \nMissed CoSN2025 in Seattle or couldn’t attend every session? Don’t worry—we’re bringing the most popular\, standing-room-only presentations to you in a special webinar series. Learn from top EdTech leaders from across the country—no travel needed! \nRemember the Human: Deploying AI in Your District Webinar \nAs districts across the globe grapple with the tectonic shifts caused by generative AI\, there is a tendency to rush to the tool as an answer to nearly all challenges of content creation\, evaluation and synthesis. This approach\, while exciting\, diminishes the human intelligence that is essential to effective\, ethical and equitable deployment of this technology. This session provides guidance for a responsible process by which your educational community can engage in the thoughtful and impactful use of artificial intelligence for all students\, ethically. Remembering the human element\, practice empathy and asking the right questions are the path forward. \n\nKey Take Aways:\n\nParticipants will leave with several practical examples of how to deploy generative AI in their district\, whether it be small (WSD)\, medium (ABCUSD) or large (SAUSD)\, as well as have a framework created by the largest regional education agency in the country (LACOE).\nUnderstand the broad implications of generative AI when placed within the context of K-12 education. Walk away with flexible strategies on how to incorporate a district’s entire educational community as we transform education moving forward.\nDiscover the role of human intelligence in an effective artificial intelligence deployment strategy. Develop proven tactics for growing empathy\, effective questioning techniques and other human qualities in your student population to prepare them for a future of ubiquitous AI.\n\nPresenters: \n\nGerardo Martinez\, MA\nExecutive Director\, Educational Technology\nWestminster School District\nWestminster\, California \n\nChristopher Hoang\, EdD\nAssistant Director\, Technology Innovation and Outreach\nLos Angeles County Office of Education\nDowney\, California \n\nMike Lawrence\, CAE (moderator)\nDirector\, Information & Technology\nABC Unified School District\nCerritos\, California \n \nJerry Almendarez\nFormer Superintendent\nSanta Ana Unified School District\nSanta Ana\, CA \n\nChad Laines\nInstructional Technology Specialist\nABC Unified School District\nCerritos\, California
