Ready to take AI in your teaching to the next level? This hands-on session builds off our previous introduction sesion, but no prior attendance is required! We'll dive into practical ways to use tools like Gemini & ChatGPT (Khanmigo and MagicSchool will also be mentioned) to streamline tasks, personalize learning, and boost your teaching game. Bring a real teaching challenge – lesson plans, rubrics, letters of recommendation, anything! – and we'll use AI to find solutions. By bringing a specific teaching challenge (or two), teachers will workshop solutions and leave with a tangible AI-generated resource they can use right away. Disclaimer: This session description was generated primarily using Gemini, an AI language model, to assist in crafting clear and concise content.
All Things Canvas will focus on your needs relating to leveraging Canvas as a tool for your classroom. The session will cover a variety of topics based on the needs of the participants in the room.

Plan to bring your idea(s) of what you want to work on and leave with something usable in your classroom.
