BC TEAL 2026 Annual Conference has ended
Saturday May 2, 2026 2:00pm - 2:45pm PDT
This CCLB Professional Learning Session supports LINC instructors to use AI ethically, confidently, and effectively in PBLA‑aligned classrooms. Grounded in current Canadian guidance on the responsible use of generative AI, the session highlights key considerations such as privacy, transparency, and accountability when using AI tools with learners. Through discussion and problem‑solving activities, instructors will examine common challenges such as bias, over‑reliance on AI, and use of professional judgement to name a few, and leave with concrete strategies and questions to guide ethical decision‑making in their own LINC classrooms.


Learning outcomes:  
 
▪ Learn about the Canadian government standards for the use of AI  
▪ Explore appropriate uses of AI in a PBLA-aligned language learning class 
 ▪ Practice identifying problems and solutions with using AI in LINC
