As an upper elementary teacher, you’ve been hearing a lot about AI, and know it is something your students will encounter in their lives outside of school, if they haven’t already. You’d love to start teaching your students some foundational skills of AI, but it feels really overwhelming — and you still have ALL the curricular standards to teach! Does this sound like a thought that has crossed your mind? If so, consider this session: the presenter will discuss simple ways to start integrating AI throughout your lessons, and discuss how doing so can help your students learn about AI at the same time!
This session will look at technology from a connecting the dots and retention point of view. The goal will be to use technology in multiple ways that benefit various levels of students across multiple subject areas. Excite your students with new ideas!
If you are looking for something different to use with students and more cost effective for schools besides Accelerated Reader or Reading Counts, this session is for you! You will be introduced to Book Taco, a web-based reading program that will have students interacting with books in new, engaging and rigorous formats. Book Taco is a reading management platform that helps teachers assess, motivate, and manage student reading. Give Book Taco a try...you just might like it!
Hey! I'm so excited to make a connection with you. I'm the wife of a HS counselor and the mom to a wild third grader and we all LOVE our KSU Cats! I'm one of those people who thought life REALLY begins at 50! I was chugging along as a JH & HS English teacher and thought... what's... Read More →
Get ready to be inspired by a hands-on journey into renewable energy and data science through the eyes of two teachers - a fourth grade teacher and a high school science teacher. In this session, you will discover how learners were challenged to think critically while building skills in data literacy and environmental stewardship. Fourth graders and high schoolers experimented with wind turbines, used energy sensors to capture data, and analyzed the data to uncover surprising insights about energy efficiency - each at their own level. Curiosity and lots of questions inspired students to design and then make adjustments to wind turbine blades in an attempt to get maximum energy output. These scientists observed real-time results that revealed fascinating patterns about energy in motion -- all while building an excitement for STEM. Join us to see how technology can spark curiosity and equip the next generation of problem-solvers, all while bringing the power of wind and data into the classroom.
