Session description

New teachers are overwhelmed—juggling planning, assessment, engagement, and management. I’ll share my Google Innovator project journey, showing how AI can ease that burden. By integrating AI into mentoring, resource access, and daily tasks, teachers spend less time on the details—and more time on what matters: students.

Outline

This session features beautiful, semi-comical AI-generated visuals—fitting, since it’s about AI. Each image shares my Google Innovator journey, which began with supporting overwhelmed new teachers. Through humor, reflection, and a few AI quirks (extra hands, stained glass revelation, my daughter missing legs), the visuals bring energy and storytelling. They show how the project evolved—from data and prompt fails to mentoring, beta testing, and building an AI tool. More than what I built, they reflect what I learned. This session blends heart and chaos, showing how AI helps lighten the load—without perfection. It’s AI, after all.

Visuals:
