Webinars for Professional Learning - September 2025

Where do educators begin with artificial intelligence in the classroom? This webinar offers an introduction to AI: what it is, why it matters, and some of the key considerations around its use in schools. You’ll also get a guided tour of the new Student AI Literacy Lessons, 21 ready-to-use resources for K–3, 4–7, and 8–12. Whether you're new to AI or looking to deepen your understanding, this session will equip you with practical tools and strategies to spark meaningful conversations about AI with your students. 

You have access to the Digital Classroom, a curated collection of trusted digital learning resources like World Book Online, National Geographic Kids, Gale ‘In Context’, KnowBC, and more. In this session, we’ll explore what’s available to you and how these accessible tools can support learning in classroom settings and at home. We’ll also guide you through the K–12 Evaluated Resource Collection, a set of learning resource reviews and suggestions developed by BCTF-appointed teachers, to help you review and confidently select curriculum-aligned materials.
