Recorded Webinar - Brisk Teaching: The AI Multitool for Education

I recently recorded a webinar about one of my favorite AI tools for education - Brisk Teaching. (Disclosure - Brisk sponsored this webinar, but all opinions were my own.)

If you are not familiar with it, Brisk is a free Chrome extension that provides AI-powered tools for teachers and students. 

It does so many things, I often call it the "Swiss Army Knife of AI Tools".

With Brisk Teaching you can:
  • Generate resources such as quizzes, slideshows, rubrics, lesson plans, DOK questions, guided notes, podcasts and more. 
  • Relevel content for different grades. 
  • Provide personalized feedback on student writing. 
  • Monitor the student writing process
  • Create school-safe "Boost" activities for students with customized AI chatbots for tutoring, chatting with a character, debating, brainstorming, exit tickets and more. 
  • Plan and bundle instructional materials with Brisk Next. 
And all of this comes in a robust free version! To learn all about Brisk, see below to watch my recorded 1-hour webinar and to access the resources from the session.
