Artificial Intelligence can be used in so many different ways in schools to improve teaching, learning, creativity, productivity, support, and more for educators and students. Explore dozens of uses for generative AI including brainstorming, creating educational content, altering content, processing information, supporting all learners, grading and feedback, student engagement and much more. 

Participants will develop a proficiency with a variety of educational AI tools such as Google Gemini, NotebookLM,  as well as exposure to other tools such as Brisk, Snorkl, and others, and will understand the benefits and uses of each.Participants will explore practical ways to use AI tools for brainstorming, creating educational content, altering content, processing information, supporting all learners, assessment, grading, feedback, student engagement and more.

Limited Capacity seats available
*This is a cohort session. Following one morning session on Monday, July 13, this group will meet every afternoon to continue its exploration and learning as a cohort.*

AI models—such as Google Gemini, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude, etc. — offer teachers the opportunity to quickly review and research standard mathematics topics taught in high school and college courses.  In this session, participants will have the opportunity to compare classical solution methods with AI-generated solutions, and in the process educators will gain a deeper understanding of the relative strengths of each of these approaches.  The session will illustrate how AI resources can be useful as collaborative partners, offering inspiration for new methodologies, suggesting generalizations, and identifying similar problems to enrich the learning process.

Limited Capacity seats available
The morning "Let's Chat" AI chatbot session will focus on AI Literacy and help provide an overview of varying levels and methods by which AI chatbots may provide scaffolded and collaborative learning opportunities to students who have grown up in the technical age. Students today have access to information faster than ever before. They are accustomed to—and demand—immediate feedback. AI chatbots are especially designed for digital collaboration. By using AI chatbots proactively, with guardrails incorporated by educators, students will learn new content and critical thinking skills simultaneously through creative, relevant, and engaging lessons.

After engaging in the Let's Chat session, participants will be able to build upon current AI Literacy and explore the potential for using AI chatbots to enhance instruction, digital collaboration, student motivation, and engagement.

The Let's Chat Expansion Pack Workshop will provide educators with practical strategies for customizing AI chatbots to facilitate AI Competency. Educators will be equipped to utilize AI chatbots, specifically MagicSchool AI, as a collaborative tool for both educators and students to better understand how educational chatbots are useful and relevant in the 21st Century classroom. Participants will apply strategies discussed in the morning session to actual lessons and be able to customize a generic chatbot for use as an instructional tool. Individualization of chatbots for all age levels and subjects will be further addressed. No coding is required—instead, the focus will be on designing lessons that utilize AI chatbots as a collaborative tool to facilitate metacognitive thinking. Practical lessons will be demonstrated and created during the sessions that encourage students to reflect, ask questions, and attain ownership of their thinking processes while practicing self-directed learning.

Explore five ways to introduce and expand integrated A.I. instruction in your K-5 classroom. We will explore how to help students understand important themes about A.I., including ethics, policy, and how A.I. works (it is not your friend!). Then we will explore tools and resources that will aid you in bringing A.I. into your existing lessons in engaging ways without disrupting your flow or time constraints. You will leave with at least one (hopefully more!) idea to use this fall in their classrooms.

In this session we will explore the heavy topics and controversies around A.I. in society and the classroom.  In particular, we will discuss our students using A.I. and how we can talk about it with them, guide them in best practices, and provide them safe ways to use and evaluate A.I. products. We will explore the current big research stories and how to avoid the brain rot that can come with human technology use. We will define bias in machine learning and how it impacts our ability to trust and rely on A.I. Finally, we will look at resources for creating classroom and school policies, and how to make the most of this powerful technology.

LIMITED
Wednesday July 15, 2026 10:30am - 11:45am EDT
SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics Building (GSSM)
Limited Capacity seats available
In this session, I will invite educators to think about AI as more than a classroom tool. Instead of focusing only on prompting or productivity, we will explore AI literacy as a way to help students ask questions about ethics, bias, decision-making, civic life, and real-world systems. Using examples from English and interdisciplinary teaching, I will share practical strategies such as case studies, discussion prompts, short inquiry tasks, and values-based reflection. The goal is to help teachers move from general concern about AI to concrete classroom practice. Participants will leave with a clearer framework for teaching about AI, not just teaching with AI, and they will be ready to extend that work in the afternoon workshop.

After engaging in this session, participants will (or will be able to)...
· define AI literacy as more than tool use or prompt-writing
· explore classroom-ready strategies for discussing AI, ethics, bias, and social impact
· identify a place in their own curriculum where AI literacy fits naturally
· create or adapt one resource they can bring back to their students

The afternoon workshop will function as a hands-on design lab where participants adapt the ideas from the morning session into a classroom-ready resource. We will begin with a brief recap and discussion of how students may already be using AI as a shortcut, then examine sample resources such as AI comparison activities, verification checklists, reflection prompts, and student-facing protocols. These examples will be explored collaboratively, with attention to how they can be adapted across grade levels.

Participants will then select an existing lesson, assignment, problem set, lab, or project and redesign it to include structured, responsible AI use. Most of the workshop will be devoted to creation, peer feedback, revision, and facilitator support. Participants will focus on questions such as what students should do before using AI, how they should evaluate AI output, and what evidence they should use to justify agreement or disagreement. The workshop will culminate with participants sharing an adapted resource or implementation plan they can use when they return to school.

The afternoon workshop will be hands-on and product-based. After a short recap and model, participants would choose an existing lesson, text, unit, or topic from their own classroom and use a simple planning template to adapt it into an AI literacy resource. I will provide a small menu of sample case studies, guiding questions, and activity structures so teachers can either build from scratch or revise something they already teach. Most of the workshop will be devoted to drafting, conferring, and peer feedback, with time at the end for revision and sharing. The goal is for every participant to leave with at least one usable product—a discussion protocol, mini-lesson, case-study activity, assessment, or short inquiry sequence. If the participants stay for the entire  three hours, participants will expand their product into a fuller mini-unit; if they stay for 90 minutes, the focus will stay on one strong classroom-ready resource.
