Did you know that TCEA offers online, self-paced courses on Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools? It’s one thing to discuss AI tools, another to ask and offer examples of how they might be relied upon in educational settings. What’s more, you get tips and suggestions to streamline your workflow and improve your productivity.

If you are a “less is more” kind of person, you may be looking for easier tools to use than those suggested by Google (e.g., Figjam, LucidSpark, Miro).
