Join this 45-minute session to discover hands-on ways educators can use AI to make teaching more efficient, engaging, and authentic. Drawing on experiences from three years of 7th-grade science teaching, a year of substitute teaching, and a recent college course, the session introduces tools like SchoolAI, MagicSchool AI, and Perplexity Pro for classroom management, faster grading, and deeper student engagement. We’ll also discuss how assessment is evolving—highlighting creative approaches that pair technology with authentic demonstrations of learning through oral presentations and handwritten blue book exams.
