🧰 The AI Toolbox: Best AI Tools for Schools
  • Time: 8:00am- 8:50am ET
  • Location: Virtual through Zoom only
  • Session Agenda: http://bit.ly/curts-aitools
  • Description: ChatGPT and Gemini are wonderful, but what other AI tools are available? Thankfully there are many educational AI resources that build on top of these models with tools that are free, provide extra functionality and features, and make the process easier and more convenient for educators. In this session we will explore many of these tools including EduaideAI, Diffit, Twee, MagicSchoolAI, Conker, Curipod, Almanack, QuestionWell, Brisk, Goblin Tools, SchoolAI, Mizou, EnlightenAI, Snorkl, Sorcerer, and more.



😈 Artificial Intelligence / Natural Misuse - Managing AI in Schools
  • Time: 9:00am-9:50am ET
  • Location: Virtual through Zoom and In-person in Room B
  • Session Agenda: http://bit.ly/curts-aimisuse
  • Description: As beneficial as AI is, it also comes with challenges and the potential for misuse. In this session we will explore tools and strategies to help monitor AI use, proper citation for AI generated content, ways to encourage positive use of AI in the classrooms, developing your own class set of AI guidelines for students, alternative assessment options, addressing bias and inaccuracies, student data privacy, and more.



💬 Today's Special Classroom Guest: Mr. A.I. Chatterbot
  • Time: 10:00am-10:50am ET
  • Location: Virtual through Zoom and In-person in Room B
  • Session Agenda: http://bit.ly/curts-aiguest
  • Description: AI access for students is often limited because of the students' age or because of school policies. However there are lots of engaging ways for a teacher to use AI in class for interactive learning activities where the students are participating but the teacher is still managing the AI. In this session we will see how you can "invite AI into your classroom" for interactive projects including debates on any topic, live interviews where the AI takes on a role, "20 Questions" games on subject area content, co-writing activities, and more.
