🤖 Custom AI Chatbots for Personalized Student Learning

Time: 9:30am - 10:30am CST
Location: Conference Dining Room
Session Agenda: https://bit.ly/curts-chatbots
Description: AI chatbots are a powerful way to provide safe, monitored, personalized learning experiences for students. Chatbots can be used for a wide range of engaging activities such as interviewing a historical figure, discussing a book, learning about a career, assessing understanding, providing tutoring, or diving into any topic. With AI these chatbots adjust to each student individually to meet their specific needs and interests. In this session we will explore traditional AI chatbots, as well as free tools such as SchoolAI, Mizou, Brisk, Fobizz, MagicSchoolAI and more, where you can choose from a wide range of pre-made chatbots or easily create your own.

🖐️ Active Learning with Google Tools and EduProtocols

Time: 12:00pm - 1:00pm CST
Location: Conference Dining Room
Session Agenda: https://bit.ly/curts-active
Description: EduProtocols are instructional templates that are designed to engage students in learning through critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity, in any subject or grade level. In this session you will see how engaging these can be for students by trying out several hands-on activities with Google tools such as Sketch and Tell, Iron Chef, Tier List, Thin Slides, and more.

💯 The Future of Feedback - Guided Grading with AI

Time: 1:15pm - 2:15pm CST
Location: Conference Dining Room
Session Agenda: http://bit.ly/curts-aigrading
Description: One of the biggest challenges in education is the time required to provide detailed feedback on student work. Thankfully we now have powerful AI tools that can generate personalized feedback for student work based on the guidelines, rubrics, and style we suggest. This can include feedback on student writing from short answers to full essays, as well as feedback on spoken student explanations. In this session we will explore AI feedback tools such as Class Companion, Snorkl, EnlightenAI, and more.

🔑 Google Tools to Support all Learners

Time: 2:30pm - 3:30pm CST
Location: Conference Dining Room
Session Agenda: https://bit.ly/curts-support
Description: There are many tools, apps, extensions, and features available to assist all learners. In this session we take an in-depth hands-on look at a wide range of technology tools to assist any and all learners. These can include text-to-speech, speech-to-text, readability, reading comprehension, artificial intelligence tools, audio support, organization, focus, and more. Learn what tools are available and how to access and use these free tools with your students.
