Microsoft and OpenAI to launch AI training for teachers

This will be an innovative new training space where educators will learn not just about how A.I. works, but how to use it wisely, safely and ethically. It will be a place where tech developers and educators can talk with each other, not past each other. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/technology/chatgpt-teachers-openai-microsoft.html

Together with the @AFT, we are excited to announce a new member-driven National Academy for A.I. Instruction in collaboration with Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic. We will offer workshops for educators this fall on how to use A.I. tools. Read: nyti.ms/4lixaZ2
