Participate and share: Interactive session 
Recorded Session
Purpose and Objectives
- The primary aim of this session is to equip teachers with the understanding and skills needed to utilize AI as a transformative tool for lesson design and classroom instruction. By shifting the narrative of AI from a theoretical concept to a practical toolset, educators will be able to effectively adapt and enhance their pedagogical techniques.
Participant Outcomes
- Attendees will be able to recognize the potential of AI as an instructional partner, understanding its capabilities and limitations within the classroom environment.
- Attendees will be able to identify and evaluate AI-powered educational apps and and how they can augment classroom management, student engagement, and assessment.
- Attendees will be able to formulate creative ways to integrate AI tools into their existing curriculum, including lesson planning, classroom activities, and project-based learning.
- Attendees will be able to contribute to a collaborative community document, sharing best practices, tips, and AI-enhanced classroom resources for the benefit of a broader educational community.
Educational Challenge
- The challenge lies in integrating AI in a way that naturally complements existing teaching methods, rather than complicating them. This session will offer real-world examples and best practices for overcoming this challenge.
Technology Intervention
- The session will introduce educators to specific AI tools, such as text and image generators, that are directly applicable to classroom instruction and lesson planning. Attendees will receive a comprehensive list of these resources, including guidelines on how to implement them effectively in a way that benefits student learning, engagement, and mastery.
Models Employed
- We will employ a learner-centered, Inquiry-Based Learning model, aligned with ISTE standards, to guide the creation of AI-enhanced experiences. This approach ensures that the AI tools introduced are directly applicable and beneficial in real-world classroom settings.
Lesson Plans or Instructional Activities
- Teachers will engage in hands-on activities to design lesson plans that meaningfully incorporate AI, from modifying current lesson plans to creating entirely new instructional activities. These lessons will be shared in a community document, accessible to all participants for continued learning and adaptation.
Evidence of Success
- The evidence of success will be shown in the collaborative community document. This resource will capture the newly designed, AI-enhanced lesson plans contributed by participants.
