Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the educational landscape, presenting both opportunities and challenges for educators. This poster presentation showcases the work of two UGC-funded projects: “AI in Education” and “Generative AI for Teaching and Education (GATE).” These initiatives aim to bridge the gap between AI technologies and educators. By familiarizing educators with AI applications, empowering them with research insights, and providing professional development opportunities, these projects enable teachers to harness the power of AI as a tool for enhancing teaching and learning experiences. The presentation highlights the journey of supporting teachers in exploring, understanding, and applying AI in their own teaching contexts and calls for active participation in the broader AI community.
