AI meets TI: New Competencies for a New Era 

Let's meet, learn, and discuss: We work with AI, not against it. We benefit from AI, and we want to teach our students how they, too, can make the most of it.

T3 conference "Sharing Inspiratition" in Paris.
For nearly 40 years, the Teachers Teaching with Technology (T3) network has brought together educators who champion TI technology in the classroom and on exams. Join the community as educators from 12 natitions gather in Paris from September 25 – 27 to exchange ideas about innovatitive teaching.

When AI becomes a part of our everyday lives, what skills will young people need?

When the TI-92 arrived in Germany in 1996, it caused quite a stir in mathematics classrooms.
Suddenly, a handheld device could manipulate algebraic expressions, solve equations, and draw graphs.
The debate was intense: What happens to mathematics learning when a computer algebra system
(CAS) can do part of the work?
