I know almost nothing about AI - in the past it used to be easy to " be smarter than a fifth grader" - but I fear they are smarter about this than I am. I would like to level the playing field.

Also, I want to be able to determine when they are not necessarily doing their own work, but relying on AI or related technologies.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel a bit behind in using AI effectively... and frustrated when students ask chat gpt before I finish the instructions :(. I don't want to be the AI police I want to understand what my students know...I want to use and teach the use of tools effectively

# data[].attributes.body
I love AI and will be marching with the robots when they take over the world.

Seriously though - I have ADHD and it has been such a hack to help me get things done and organized. I don't have too many concerns at the moment because I feel like the good outweighs the bad and the rest is speculation.

My son in 5th grade does not want to use AI, as he worries it would be cheating and wants to do things on his own. I was also somewhat surprised to see his district (Canton) blocked chat gpt - but appreciate the limits as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I read recently that AI will change our entire relationship with and connection to the internet. Rather than surfing the net, we will just interact with AI and have it surf the net for us. Which is both terrifying and wonderful. As a teacher, I worry about how fast AI is changing and how slow education is to catch up with new technologies.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe I have an idea about AI, however I would like to feel more confident about how can I use it during class.

# data[].attributes.body
I am concerned about responsible use of AI. With the availability of AI tools and AI-generated photos, young people might lose track of what is right, and what is wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't know much about AI . . . yet. I did use it to plan a field trip itinerary, just for fun.

Mostly AI has been in my life as song recommendations, ads and such. I don't really have any negative feelings, but occasionally my brain goes to the Matrix, one of my favorite movies.

I hope to learn more about how to use it efficiently and effectively with students.

I was thinking about intro to next year and used Magic School to create a spiral review for Math. Although I found a glitch with some math symbols, it seemed like a good tool for quickly creating something like this.

I still have questions about "rooms" or "spaces" and how to use these with students.

# data[].attributes.body
As a special educator, I love that this is so accessible and has so many resources to support not only my students - but all students. This would make my life - and my student's so much easier if more teacher's adopted a platform that incorporated these tools.

I enjoyed the sentence starters, and the ability to read the responses back to the students. On the teacher's side I liked the social story creator. It definitely seems like a tool that can save teacher's time and increase engagement and success with all students.

# data[].attributes.body
I had never been on it before, but very impressed with some of the tools that I investigated. This is very exciting.

I thought the Presentation Generation tool very interesting - and would reduce time, by giving guidelines on what should be included - or at least thought about. YouTube question generator may be a way to help students stay focused on the video, by giving them a task to complete as they watch. I also looked into the Writing Feedback tool. I liked how it gave strengths and areas for growth. I really would like to look into this feature from a student side - it could help make writing conferences much more efficient.

# data[].attributes.body
There are some really great resources here. I like how it is organized.

# data[].attributes.body
I am completely new to this one. I've created a lesson outline, Jeopardy game, and story to explore in less than half an hour!

# data[].attributes.body
I end up reaching my data limit here...

# data[].attributes.body
I found an amazing Choose your own adventure -ELAR review tool, and had an argument with the bot))

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the Magic School Platform better. Everything was more upfront. I found with school ai I had to search for tools to find something I wanted to use. I did enjoy the space designer for recommendations for my physical classroom.

I'm looking forward to time at the beach with my daughters.

This seems not as user-friendly as Magic School.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like this could be really helpful for lower grade teachers or teachers who need access to more differentiated materials- when I find articles, they are generally at the right reading level for my students. I do like that it is an extension so that I can use it when I need it.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the idea of this, especially for helping to find entry points for my special education students. It makes the material and standards more accessible. I am also see the possible benefits for our multi-language learners. Once my brain is more in school mode I look forward to applying this to our different content areas.

Useful, but need more time to get familiar with it.

I have used some of the resources. However, I'm still learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to generate some jokes related to one of the themes I have in the WL curriculum. However, they where kind of "different" and akward, maybe I need to keep trying?

# data[].attributes.body
I have looked at this before, but only briefly. I agree that it seems a little clunky to use, but I hope to get more used to it.

I tried one of the pre-made spaces on a "multiplication adventure" and it seemed to work pretty well, however I can see kids growing bored with only the text inputs.

I would like to try the spaces to set up something like a tutoring room for my math students.

I really like this. It has all of the functionality of an LLM/generative AI tool, but the output is much more useful, as it creates several different helpful outputs (pictures for slides, a .pdf, multiple choice and open response questions). This is very helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that this one is right in your browser. I feel like it would be easy to use on the go. This would help me find grade appropriate reading material that meet my student's interests.

# data[].attributes.body
This can generate documents very well, and with minimum prompting required. Will definitely use.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that you can choose the standards to align your lesson with

# data[].attributes.body
I tried turning one of my favorite videos on an advanced math topic (Solving Quadratic Equations) into a set of Google Slides. You could choose how many slides you wanted in the presentation, I chose 15 because it was a complex idea. It took some time, but eventually did a decent job. I liked the general organization of the slides, the order etc.. It pulled in some images from the internet and there were even some example problems on the last slides. There were a few smaller things I would change, but the general content was good.

-Jason

# data[].attributes.body
I like how it highlights the key vocabulary in an article/video, and then it gives definition to every word with an option to add a matching picture. Incredibly helpful for my ML learners!

# data[].attributes.body
Diffit started with a 4th grade video on biology. I noticed a tool to create real life math problems on this topic. I tried this but was disappointed with the result. Diffit started a chat and in the first prompt it abandoned the math question and instead began a like of questioning to summarize the video.

Ugh, I'll have to come back to diffit.

This is something new I've discovered today. I was especially impressed by how it generates podcasts and mind maps. Also, it can act as a tutor!

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciate the capability of these platforms to look at the state standards and map out a full year of how these standards will fit in. Though it takes a lot of prompts to format it to what I envision, I appreciate everyone before me's contributions that lead the output I receive!

# data[].attributes.body
The spaces/rooms seem interesting. Thinking of different ways to use, like for centers.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that Brisk is easily accessible. It has come up with great multiple choice questions to go with any video I've chosen.

# data[].attributes.body
The possibilities of AI are mind-blowing! Knowing what to ask is the harder question. There are so many ways AI can streamline our teaching load. I look forward to learning more!

# data[].attributes.body
I found this a little more difficult to navigate. But I found some interesting activities that could be used to enhance discussions - especially the "A Moment in Time Slides"

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed using the jokes for an alternative to other warm welcomes for opening slides. I also prefer the set up the dashboards when compared to magic school.

# data[].attributes.body
This is so cool! I wish I new how to use this last year with the else! It would have helped me so much. The customized resources are excellent and I love the differentiation.

# data[].attributes.body
This allowed me to make a much more student-friendly podcast based on a transcript from a much more difficult and longer National Geographic transcript/article.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Can’t wait to dive in even further!  These were all such great resources and fascinating information.  Looking forward to tomorrow !! 

# data[].attributes.body
This was such an eye-opening session. It was great to have the time check out a variety of resources within the session...to often you get so many ideas and no time to process, which leads to less actual future use.

# data[].attributes.body
It's great to learn something new every minute! I have almost no experience with AI and didn't even know most of these tools existed. The podcast thing -- a showstopper!

I can quickly see how this can help my teacher tasks easier, like creating worksheets, study guides, quizzes etc.. I am finding that it is a bit more difficult for some of these tools to apply to math. I want to explore more about how to use this with students.

-Jason

# data[].attributes.body
This is exactly why I chose this course- I wanted to get some info and experience with the tools out there so that I (and my teachers) can make use of them. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
Lots of new information! Thank you! Can't wait to explore more!
