Artificial Intelligence is a transformative technology. While everyone started from the same baseline, AI adoption has skyrocketed, and all signs point to continued growth.

Children are growing up in a world where computers can now do things that seemed like science fiction just a few years ago.

For adults responsible for children, learning about AI is essential. Not only do they need AI to stay effective in their educational roles, but they also need to teach children how to use it responsibly and safely.

When tackling any major task, the question often arises: Should we start small and build up, or dive straight in?

We want to make AI learning simple for you. Instead of starting with the easies, we aim to keep everything clear, practical, and relevant.

This course is built around that idea — so much so that each section is called an Easie, and all our AI material is guided by a friendly and reassuring character named Easie.

When you see Easie you'll know you've reached a key piece of information.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

1. Understand the Basics of AI:
   Explain what AI is and recognize how it works in educational tools and everyday applications.
2. Make Informed Decisions About AI Tools:
   Evaluate educational apps and AI tools for quality, effectiveness, and appropriateness for children’s developmental needs.
3. Support Safe and Ethical Use of AI:
   Identify privacy and security concerns related to AI, apply safety measures, and teach children responsible AI use.
4. Use AI Tools to Enhance Learning:
   Leverage AI to create personalized learning experiences, streamline educational tasks, and support diverse learning needs.
5. Prepare Children for an AI-Driven Future:
   Foster critical thinking about AI, encourage curiosity, and help children understand AI's role in society and their lives.

Once you complete this course, you’ll have a strong AI Literacy Foundation. You will be ready to support the first generation of AI natives to ensure they become productive, responsible and safe users of this exciting and rapidly advancing new technology.

We look forward to seeing you in the first Easie!
