Teaching in Motion: Proximity + AI Feedback

Outline

Outline of Presentation: Teaching in Motion: Proximity + AI Feedback

1. Welcome & Setup (5 minutes)

Content: Introduce session goals and explain the model lesson format.

Engagement: Quick poll/check-in on current use of mobility tools and AI feedback.

Process: Device-based poll (Mentimeter, Poll Everywhere).

2. Immersive Lesson Part 1: Mobility in Action (10 minutes)

Content: Presenters model how wireless tools allow teachers to move freely, increase proximity, and boost engagement.

Engagement: Attendees act as “students,” responding to prompts as presenters move through the room.

Process: Real-time interactions; peer-to-peer quick shares.

3. Immersive Lesson Part 2: Writing + AI Feedback (15 minutes)

Content: Attendees complete a short writing activity, then receive instant AI feedback to experience the student perspective.

Engagement: Participants revise based on AI feedback.

Process: Individual device-based activity, then pair/share discussion of the feedback experience.

4. Pause & Reflect: Teacher Moves (10 minutes)

Content: Presenters pause the model lesson to explain strategies, classroom management tips, and leadership insights.

Engagement: Participants identify one challenge and one potential benefit in small groups.

Process: Peer-to-peer small group talk; responses shared on Padlet/whiteboard.

5. Application & Action Planning (15 minutes)

Content: Connect model lesson strategies to participants’ own contexts (different grade levels, subject areas, district sizes).

Engagement: Each participant drafts an “AI + Mobility Action Step” they could try in their setting.

Process: Individual planning, then peer feedback exchange.

6. Closing & Takeaways (5 minutes)

Content: Recap key lessons on mobility, proximity, and AI feedback. Link to ISTE Standards and transformational learning principles.

Engagement: Exit ticket: “What is one action you’ll take back?”

Process: Device-based poll or written note card collection.

Outcomes
