EduConnect AI is a platform designed to help educators navigate the complexities of integrating AI into their classrooms. Inspired by the article “Prohibition Didn’t Stop Alcohol Use. Will It Work With AI?”, which highlights the ineffectiveness of outright bans on technology and advocates for a “harm reduction” approach, EduConnect AI provides teachers with resources, training, and a community forum focused on responsible and effective AI integration. The platform offers curated lesson plans, best practices for AI usage, ethical guidelines, and professional development modules. It aims to empower educators with the knowledge and tools to leverage AI as a co-learning tool, fostering critical thinking and academic integrity rather than simply blocking access.
