I am excited to once again be presenting an "EdTech Playground" for the Teacher Innovation Network this year! In past years I have presented on "Mote for Multilingual Learners" and "Accessibility Tools for All Learners".
The great things about the EdTech Playgrounds are:
- They are FREE!
- They are streamed live
- The recordings can be viewed later
- They are open to anyone
This year I will be doing a session on artificial intelligence:
- The AI Toolbox: Best AI Tools for Schools
- August 27, 2024
- 3:30 to 5:00pm (Pacific Time) / 6:30 to 8:00pm (Eastern Time)
- Registration - https://sccoe.to/tin2425
See below for the full list of EdTech Playground sessions for this year, as well as details on how to register. I look forward to learning with you!
💡 About the EdTech Playgrounds
The "EdTech Playgrounds" are hosted by the Teacher Innovation Network, and are described as follows:
What's an EdTech Playground?A chance to discover fresh EdTech tools and how to choose the right one for your classroom.It can be challenging to determine which EdTech tools are right for your classroom. At each EdTech Playground, fellow educators and industry leaders will share their top tips for using EdTech in the classroom.You'll then have an opportunity to play with and explore the tools in self-selected breakout rooms. If you're new to a tool, you'll receive targeted support to help get you started. Experienced users will collaborate around a shared project or challenge and/or learn advanced tips for using the tool.Then we come back together to share and connect!
🧔 My Session
This year my session will explore some of my favorite AI tools for schools:
- The AI Toolbox: Best AI Tools for Schools
- August 27, 2024
- 3:30 to 5:00pm (Pacific Time) / 6:30 to 8:00pm (Eastern Time)
- 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 such as Diffit, Udio, MagicSchoolAI, Conker, Curipod, QuestionWell, Brisk Teaching, Goblin Tools, SchoolAI, Khanmigo, EnlightenAI, Snorkl, Sorcerer, and more.
