Integrating AI technologies can revolutionize language education by providing personalized, interactive learning experiences.

By guiding students to use AI strategically, educators can transform these tools from potential shortcuts into powerful learning companions. Students will develop critical skills in AI interaction, learning to prompt effectively, verify information, and leverage technology for meaningful language acquisition. This approach not only enhances linguistic competence but also cultivates digital literacy, preparing students for a technology-driven future.

Spark Up Your Prompts! Tips For Better AI Prompt Engineering (REPEAT)
Thursday March 6, 2025 4:00pm - 4:45pm CST
The Pandora's Box of AI is open, and learning to use it well and properly in the classroom will be a vital objective in helping make our students as "future ready" as possible! Much like we had to learn how to use search engines well, the same is needed with AI usage through something called prompt engineering. The goal of this session is to equip K-12 educators with foundational skills in prompt engineering for AI applications, with a focus on creating effective, educationally relevant AI interactions. We will cover the basics of prompt engineering, its relevance in the classroom, and practical tips to help educators integrate these skills into their teaching practice.
