🧰 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.
