Participate and share: Interactive session 
The purpose of this session is to inform educators about the generative AI tools that Google has developed and how these tools can be used to improve teaching and learning, while addressing potential misuse of such technology.
This will be done primarily through hands-on demonstrations and explorations of these generative AI tools with practical examples of how they can be used in education. Examples of such uses will include:
Reading
Determine the reading level of a text
Rewrite the text at a lower reading level
Rewrite the text at a higher reading level
Summarize the text
Make a bullet point list of key points from the text
Identify potentially difficult words in the text and list them with definitions
Create comprehension questions and answers for the text
Create DOK-leveled questions from a text
Create extension activities for the text
Rewrite a text in a different style (genre, person, etc.) to help understand the content
Create a story with specific characters, items, and events, written at any reading level
Writing
Generate writing prompts for stories, essays, articles, and more
Generate story elements (names, places, items, etc.)
Generate images to illustrate a story the story a student writes
Generate main ideas to explore when writing about a topic
Generate model writing for students to use as an exemplar
Generate flawed writing for students to critique
Using speech-to-text for writing
Conversation
Debate the AI on a topic, having the AI assume a particular position or personality
Speak to the AI as if the AI was a character from a book, person from history, in a certain job, in a different place, in a different time, an animal, or an object
Use AI to translate text, images, and speech to communicate with people speaking different languages
Feedback
Evaluate student writing and provide feedback for how it can be improved
Get feedback on fluency when reading aloud
Get feedback on communication skills when speaking and presenting
Coding
Create code, even as simple as HTML code for embeddable games and activities for websites
Personal Tutor
Explain topics at any level and depth
Provide students with essay or knowledge questions, and feedback on the student response
YouTube
Analyze a video transcript and create study guides, summaries, and more
Tasks
Assist with writing emails in a variety of styles
Assist with writing lesson plans
Assist with writing newsletter content
Assist with creating assessments
Assist with creating rubrics
We will also explore potential challenges with AI in schools and ways that educators can help prevent and address misuse. Ideas we will explore include:
Educate students
Set clear expectations
Offer support
Assign diverse tasks
Encourage critical thinking
Encourage collaboration and peer review
Create AI-integrated assignments
Monitor AI usage
Use detection tools
Engage parents and guardians
Stay informed
The session will cover the following information. Note: live links to the resources referenced below can be accessed at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KaXgVKm-OjMtFNt7o7QW0uzv-Cukwm_TBq1CfdXUKT4/edit
1) Overview of AI (5 minutes)
Brief introduction to generative AI and overview of the many AI tools that Google has included in their products for many years leading up to generative AI
2) Current Google AI Tools (10 minutes)
Exploration and demonstration of the current wave of Google's generative AI tools including Bard and the AI integrations in Google Docs, Slides, Gmail, and more.
3) Upcoming Google AI Tools (5 minutes)
A brief preview of AI tools that Google has announced as coming soon.
4) Use for Google AI Tools in Education (25 minutes)
Deep dive into practical examples of how Google generative AI tools can be used for reading, writing, feedback, conversation, personalized help, coding, tasks, and more. These examples will be done hands-on and attendees will have access to all of the prompts used.
5) Addressing AI Misuse (15 minutes)
Exploration of the potential challenges with AI in education and what schools and educators can be doing to help address these concerns. We will explore ideas to help prevent misuse (policies, types of assignments, etc.) as well as procedures to help evaluate potential misuse (Version History and other detection tools).
Throughout the session, participants will be encouraged to test out each of these tools.
Artificial intelligence in education is a new and rapidly growing field so there will be much research to come on this topic. However many of the AI uses I will be demonstrating in this session are backed by research. James Hattie's "Visible Learning" studies help identify the top positive influences on student achievement as detailed at https://www.visiblelearningmetax.com/Influences
Some of the top positive influences that can be implemented and extended with AI include:
Feedback
Summarization
Help seeking
Outlining and summarizing
Self-directed learning
Technology with learning needs students
Intelligent tutoring systems
Coding
Questioning
Differentiation
Technology in writing
Return
Trips and Tours
