Are you a South African teacher feeling overwhelmed by artificial intelligence? You're not alone in this struggle. While students are already using AI tools daily for homework and projects, most educators lack the proper guidance to integrate AI safely, ethically, and effectively into their teaching practice. Meanwhile, mounting pressure exists to "keep up" with technology that often feels foreign and potentially threatening to traditional teaching methods that have served us well for decades.
This comprehensive course changes everything about your relationship with AI.
Using the proven SMART framework (See-Manage-Ask-Respect-Think), you'll master practical AI integration that works seamlessly within South African classrooms, CAPS curriculum requirements, and cherished Ubuntu values.
