AI training for teachers at CIDO

The Center for Innovation, Development and Opportunities (CIDO) organized a training session for Haitian teachers to help them master artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Marc Pirrus, founder of CIDO, emphasized the importance for educational staff to understand and effectively use this technology.

Marc Pirrus, who has extensive experience in the fields of technology and innovation, shared his knowledge with a wide audience, including teachers located in different regions of the country. The training adopted a balanced approach, avoiding both outright rejection (technophobia) and uncritical enthusiasm.

The seminar allowed participants to understand that AI is a tool that must be used with discernment by teachers to train critical thinkers, not just copyists. Education should not be limited to the mechanical reproduction of information but should foster the intellectual and creative development of students.

Participants and regions

The training brought together a wide range of participants from various regions of the country, including rural areas. The goal was to raise awareness among the entire Haitian teaching body about the relevance and possibilities offered by AI in the field of education.

Lack of information

The exact number of participants was not communicated, nor were details about their precise geographical origin. This information would be useful for assessing the scope and impact of the training.
