Updated September 11, 2026

Congratulations on wanting to learn more about AI Literacy! Let's walk through how you access the course and receive your LinkedIn certification and email badge.

AI Literacy course overview

What is it?

Our AI Literacy course was designed to help teachers and any school/district staff to refine and improve their AI knowledge. The course goes through the foundations of AI, how it works, and best practices to apply when using AI in general. This information is then applied to using Flint's AI, Sparky.

Why is it important?

AI literacy in general is important to ensure our teachers, students, and staff are using it responsibly and effectively. AI is relatively new to the education world, and can be extremely powerful and resourceful when used properly. If you're still hesitant about using AI in your classroom, this course is the perfect place to learn more and help relieve any uncertainty. We're here to support you in your journey on using Flint!
