Learn about harnessing the incredible potential of AI for fostering creativity in your classroom. Participants will have a greater understanding of generative AI and the different possible uses of Artificial Intelligence in their classroom. We will explore the differences between using AI for automating teacher administrative tasks and using AI to encourage creativity and creation with students in the classroom. I will use the gradual release model: modeling, supporting and scaffolding plus allowing time for exploration and creation.

"Last year, we examined teachers, the First Amendment, and their misuse of technology that resulted in court cases, official visits with human resources, and even termination.
This year we will look a history of students' First Amendment court cases (several involve technology). Similar to teachers, students have found themselves appearing before the Supreme Court after disciplinary consequences were administered for shenanigans that occurred on and off school campuses."
