Building AI Confidence and Literacy in Education: Rebecca Bultsma, AI Ethics Researcher and Education Strategist

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Ethics Researcher Rebecca Bultsma lives in the messy space between AI hype and AI reality, helping education leaders cut through the chaos and noise to find what actually works for students and educators. As an AI ethics researcher at the University of Edinburgh with a focus on K-12 ethical implementation, Rebecca is dangerously good at AI but appropriately worried about its risks - making her the ideal guide for districts that want to enhance learning opportunities without compromising student safety or educational integrity. Having developed professional development programs for large districts and crafted AI policies for educational organizations, her keynotes and workshops deliver customized, actionable strategies for curriculum development, assessment, communication, and operations. Rebecca has trained thousands of educators across North America and internationally, regularly contributes to Canada's Digital Governance Standards Institute, and co-hosts the AmpED to 11 podcast. Her mission: help education professionals build AI capabilities that enhance student outcomes without losing what makes teaching meaningful.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
