Saturday October 26, 2024 12:50pm - 1:40pm PDT
Room 208
K-12 & a familiarity with PBL/inquiry:
In this session, attendees will create and curate their classroom digital ecosystem! Explore a few (yet multi-useful) tools/resources as we use an inquiry lens to project plan for beyond-the-classrom impact. Using AI as an assist plus your existing tech repertoire, create opportunities for students to problem-solve creatively, think critically, and address complex topics/issues in ways that matter to them. We will dabble in idea generation using AI tools such as Khamnigo and Magic School AI and AI-enhanced tools such as Canva. Using the interdisciplinary example of climate change, we will backwards plan to take inquiry lessons/units/projects to the next level!


While the examples will be focused on upper elementary/middle school, any K-12 educator can apply the tools and ideas in this session! A variety of resources will also be shared.
