You want to meet every student where they are—but how do you do that when your to-do list is already overflowing? That’s where AI can help. In this session -- led by Matt Miller from Ditch That Textbook -- you’ll explore how AI tools can assist you in differentiating what students learn, how they learn it, and how they show what they know. Leave with practical tools, ready-to-use prompts, and ideas you can implement immediately.

Students interact with all sorts of documents and sources. What if they're struggling to understand -- and the teacher isn't immediately available? Kami has a full suite of AI-powered support tools to keep learning going, to help students understand, to differentiate, to read aloud, to translate, and more. Learn how you can empower your students to keep learning going WITHOUT replacing their thinking.

When people hear “AI and education,” many immediately think of ChatGPT doing students’ homework. Writing their essays. Doing all of the thinking for them. But AI is TECH, a tool, and technology has always been only as valuable as how we use it. In this session, you’ll see how AI tools and technology can be used in the classroom to support and elevate student critical thinking.

It's easy to imagine SchoolAI Spaces as a writing coach. But the writing process has lots of steps -- and chances are, students won't finish a major writing project in one Spaces session. Instead, let's build out a series of "mini bots" that provide custom support one step at a time. In this session, you'll meet the likes of Captain Inkbeard, Stanley the Curmudgeonly Copy Editor, and Zorplax-9, several "mini bot" writing coaches with big personalities that help students through writing one step at a time.

It's powerful when students have tools to study, to get custom explanations, and to learn on their terms. It makes them self-sufficient, independent learners. With the suite of study features inside Knowt, students can get more custom, personalized support than ever.
