About this session: 7:00-8:30 PM

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not only a tool for students but can offer educators assistance in their instructional planning. In this hands-on, interactive session, you will explore ways to use your AI of choice so that you have more time to refine your plans and be the best teacher you can be. With a few targeted AI prompts, you can have your AI assistant search the web for lesson plan ideas, report on the latest evidence-based strategies to address students’ needs, suggest customized assessment items that align with state standards and assessment benchmarks, and more. Come to this session ready to use your preferred AI platform. This session may be recorded. By registering, you consent to be recorded and understand that the recording may be viewed by others.
