Join Charmaine Thompson, the Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) chief of instructional technology, on Oct. 23 for a Chat with the Chief.

“Understanding AI: Empowering Parents,” will delve into how artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an integral part of daily lives — including those of students — in today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape.

“For parents, understanding AI is essential to navigate the challenges and opportunities it presents for their children's education and development,” Thompson said.

Thompson is holding the virtual chat on the Zoom platform from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 23, to provide parents with an understanding of AI, its applications and its implications for parenting. The discussion will explore AI and how it works, including the different types and real-world examples of AI.

The webinar will also touch on the impact AI has on children and how it is used to shape education along with its potential benefits and risks to young people.

Thompson will share practical tips parents can use for navigating AI such as setting boundaries, evaluating AI-powered products and fostering digital literacy.
