From Prompt to Practice: Helping Students Use AI Without Shortcuts

This interactive station invites educators to experience how students can use AI to support their thinking during problem-solving. Participants will try out structured prompts used in a high school chemistry classroom, explore examples of student responses, and examine how AI can be used to identify and address common misconceptions. Additional examples will include the use of NotebookLM to compare student thinking with accurate conceptual understanding, as well as AI-supported activities like digital escape rooms to reinforce learning. Educators will leave with practical prompts and activity ideas they can immediately adapt for their own classrooms.
