Post-primary teachers to avail of online training course in AI literacy
Adapt, the Research Ireland Centre for AI-Driven Digital Content Technology and the support of Google, have released online training course, AI Literacy in the Classroom. The interactive 90-minute course is designed to equip post-primary educators with skills, such as how to use AI safely and responsibly in schoolwork.
The course offers two key modules, AI Literacy and AI and Ethics. Through engaging activities and expert insights, it helps teachers and school leaders navigate the evolving role of AI in education. Participants will gain practical tools to integrate AI literacy into their teaching practices, ensuring that students are well prepared to engage with AI technologies responsibly.
AI Literacy in the Classroom is coordinated by Adapt’s Education & Public Engagement and built on input from academics in Media Literacy, AI & Ethics, and Digital Learning from Adapt and Dublin City University.
This online course complements Adapt’s AI Literacy in the Classroom workshop series, providing flexible learning opportunities for teachers across Ireland.
The inaugural workshop in the series was held in November at The Foundry, Google Dublin, where the first cohort of post-primary teachers explored ethical approaches to AI integration in the classroom. Feedback from participants highlighted the importance of fostering AI literacy as an essential skill for both educators and students.
Laura Grehan, Head of Education, Engagement and Societal Impact with Adapt at DCU, said: “AI is becoming a pervasive part of everyday life, including the field of education. This course provides teachers with the knowledge and confidence they need to support their students in using AI tools effectively and responsibly. By focusing on ethics and practical application, we aim to empower educators to lead the way in fostering a new generation of AI-literate students.”
