# Playlab 101 PLC resources

> Professional Learning Community resources for four-session deep dive into generative AI and Playlab

Over four 90-minute sessions, participants dive deep into the foundations, potentials, and limitations of generative AI as they learn to create AI apps tailored to their unique contexts. Along the way, they explore and gain essential mindset shifts around AI—equipping educators and learners to use AI to shape the future of education and work. Using human-centered design, participants iterate on their apps while reimagining systems and structures for implementation and evaluation. The series culminates in a showcase where creators demo their work, share its impact on teaching, learning, or workflow, and reflect on what they've learned throughout the journey.

<Note> Feel free to make copies and adjust to your context. We recommend that all PLC's culminate in a showcase to share learnings and apps built! </Note>
