Prince George's County educators and administrators attended the Empower Your Learning Conference to learn how artificial intelligence and digital tools can boost engagement, support multilingual families, and streamline staff work; organizers said roughly 450 people attended.
About 450 educators, central-office staff and school leaders attended the Empower Your Learning Conference to learn how technology can be used to enhance classroom instruction, a presenter said.
"We have sessions on how technology can support digital tools, creativity, and productivity," the presenter said, adding the conference includes a set of sessions focused on artificial intelligence as part of the district's strategic initiatives. The presenter described the event as an opportunity "for our educators, central office staff, and our school administrators to come and learn how technology can be used to enhance classroom instruction."
School leaders emphasized responsible adoption. "We want to be on the forefront of artificial intelligence and how that could be responsibly utilized in our school houses," a school leader said, framing the event as a place to learn responsible approaches. Attendees described sessions that ranged from novice-level introductions to more advanced, practical demonstrations.
Organizers and participants said the conference mixes technical demonstrations with classroom-focused examples, including ways to engage students, support multilingual families, and streamline staff workflows.
