Congratulations to George Hawkins, the 2023-2024 South Dakota Teacher of the Year. It is always difficult to pick from all of the wonderful candidates we are presented with each year. George is from the Sioux Falls Jefferson High School. Congratulations!
The final Artificial Intelligence workshop is being held today in Chamberlain. We have a great group of educators here to learn about using these tools in their schools.
We are holding the 3rd of 4 Artificial Intelligence workshops across the state. We are in Harrisburg today and the turnout is phenomenal! Educators and board members learning together about the power and possibilities of using this tool in our schools.
The first of four Artificial Intelligence workshops is underway in Rapid City. The others will be held in Aberdeen, Harrisburg and Chamberlain throughout the month. So much for administrators, teachers, and school board members to take in.
