By the end of the session, participants will know how to create their own digital "Choose Your Adventure" that they can use in their classroom to assess student learning and promote student engagement, as well as to offer as a student created project.
Participants will learn how to utilize Google Forms to structure the "Choose Your Adventure", how to utilize AI to help write the story choices/outcomes as well as pictures, and how to use Autocrat to capture the student choices/results/data. Participants will learn how to show students how to create their own Choose Your Own Adventures.
Participants will have resources to live templates they can use or share for the creation process, AI tools that will assist with the story writing, autocrat templates to help with the results/data collection, as well as created examples.
