E.L.O. (Extended Learning Opportunity
As many of you know, I love to learn. Something new that I am learning about is AI and how I can use it to my advantage. Today I wanted to share a "Teaching with AI" blog post from OpenAI. I am currently taking an free online course through KRESA to learn more about AI and hope to share more resources with you soon!
