Session description

Take advantage of AI tools to revolutionize your teaching through real time assessments. Boost data accessibility and quality using AI tools, and learn how to leverage sentiment data from AI facilitated “spaces” for insightful formative assessments. Revolutionize your instructional cycle with AI tools and activities as machines improve mundane assessments.

Purpose & objective

In this session, participants will be discussing formative assessment practices, and how to elevate those using curated AI experiences. Participants will discuss their current practices with each other and as a whole group. Presenters will provide background information on the role of formative assessment in the instructional cycle, and how educators use the data collected to inform instruction. Building off of this knowledge, presenters will show AI formative assessment tools, and how they increase effectiveness and outcomes of the instructional cycles. Participants will analyze the student experience in these curated AI assessments, and will observe the data that can be collected. Finally, participants will show understanding of these concepts by creating a formative assessment using AI tools that connect to their standards.
