Clinton Schools had a four-day Easter weekend, but on the Monday of the holiday weekend, teachers in the district spent the day exploring artificial intelligence, or AI.

The district heard from an expert on AI and how it is transforming education. Superintendent Drew Goebel believes there is a need for AI in education, and he and the staff need to find a balance.

While there was a presentation to the entire district, Goebel also notes there were breakout sessions the rest of the day. 

While AI is making its mark in education, Goebel says some places in education need a starting point. He also notes there is an education component for students in the ways it can make them and their work better.

AI is growing in its uses within education. Students are largely way ahead of the systems when it comes to knowledge and application of AI.
