Learning of Tomorrow [Announcement] “Regarding the Miyagi Prefectural Comprehensive Education Center’s Training Guidebook on Generative AI” For the online symposium on Wednesday, March 19, we are pleased to welcome Mr. Manabu Yamashita, Deputy Director (Team Leader) and Supervising Instructor of the Information Education Team at the Miyagi Prefectural Comprehensive Education Center.
The Miyagi Prefectural Comprehensive Education Center has released a "Training Guidebook on the Use of Generative AI" for school staff.
The goal is not to keep up with the latest trends or pursue advanced applications, but rather to help faculty and staff gain practical knowledge of the tools used in society, take their first steps toward utilizing generative AI, and apply that knowledge to enhance their daily educational activities.
At this symposium, we will hear about the guidebook’s overview and the background leading up to its creation. We hope you will join us.
