Ready or not . . . AI is here. Now. And it has concerned and curious educators asking questions:

, she offers a thoughtful, practical guide for navigating the latest iteration of edtech.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of artificial intelligence (AI) models, like ChatGPT?

How do ChatGPT and other large language models change things like the writing process?

What do we need to understand about large language models (LLMs) and AI's ability to transform how-and how quickly-we can communicate with our students and peers?

How can we teach students to use AI appropriately and in ways that enhance their learning experiences?

Open-source, content-creating AI models are a relatively new addition to the education landscape-and they are the next step for digital tools. With more than twenty-five years of experience as an educator and as one of the first teachers in the United States to have a 1:1 classroom, bestselling author of the Infused Classroom series, Holly Clark , takes a future-oriented approach to technology integration in education. Through her training and speaking engagements, she equips educators worldwide to effectively use technology, including AI, in their classrooms. And now, with The AI Infused Classroom

The key to successfully integrating any digital tool, Clark says, is to focus on the deep learning and masterful pedagogy teachers can achieve with educational shifts, like the one the world is currently experiencing. Yes, things will change, but AI does not replace the need for well-trained and highly qualified teachers in the classroom. In fact, students need educators' guidance, now more than ever, to ensure they are prepared for the world of AI.
With the right mindset, the right questions, and the right strategies, you can use AI to create and broaden meaningful learning experiences for every student.

Alice Keeler - Once Upon a Click: Harnessing AI for Magical Storytelling

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Kingdom of Yawn was a dreary place. Rows of desks stood in rigid formation, each occupied by a student with drooping eyes and a stifled sigh. Their teacher, Mr. Drone, droned on about the quadratic formula, his voice as monotonous as the ticking of the classroom clock.

But in the back row, a spark flickered. Maya, a girl with a wild mane of curls and eyes that shone with curiosity, was tired of the tedium. "There has to be more to learning than this," she whispered to her friend, Leo, a boy with a mischievous grin and a knack for invention.

That night, as Maya tossed and turned in her bed, a vision appeared before her: a glowing book, its pages filled with swirling colors and fantastical creatures. A voice whispered, "The power to transform learning lies within your grasp."

The next morning, Maya and Leo huddled together in the school library, pouring over ancient texts and dusty tomes. They stumbled upon a forgotten scroll that spoke of a legendary tool: the Book Creator, a magical artifact said to have the power to weave knowledge into captivating tales.

Their quest led them to the tech lab, where they discovered a hidden portal - a computer program called Book Creator. With trembling fingers, they opened it, and a world of possibilities unfolded before them.

These apps and websites can help teachers boost their productivity, personalize learning, and create lesson content.

Over the past five years, I've explored ways to integrate AI into my teaching practice-even before ChatGPT and other generative AI became some of the most talked-about topics in education. Every educator needs to learn about AI and how we can leverage this technology to benefit our students and enhance our own work. To best provide for our students, we need to understand how this technology will impact them and us. What better way than to explore new tools via AI in our teaching practice?

Why Educators Need to Understand AI Tools

Our roles as educators have continued to change over the years. With technology comes a bit of hesitancy, especially with something as powerful as AI. In our schools, we have to provide opportunities for students to learn about changing technology because of the impact it may have on their future. Not only can AI tools enhance creativity and productivity, but also they can provide educators with valuable insights into student learning and assist with some of the time-consuming tasks that educators have.

Even with all of the promises of AI, it is important that we take time to talk about artificial intelligence in our classrooms. Not only do we teach the content, but we serve as mentors, facilitators of learning and co-learners with our students, especially as we embrace these emerging powerful technologies. It's important that we help our students learn about the benefits of them and also show how to use these tools properly, responsibly, and ethically.

How AI Can Improve A Teacher's Job

Personalized learning: Educators can provide tailored learning experiences based on AI-driven analytics that provide valuable insights into student performance and learning trends. Using this data, AI can instantly adapt student learning materials. Teachers can then use this information to provide personalized learning experiences, adapting to each student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning pace.

Productivity and efficiency: Greater efficiency comes with AI as well. Educators are responsible for a variety of clerical tasks, such as communicating with students and their families, grading assessments, and providing feedback. Educators may find they spend more time on these clerical tasks rather than on teaching and working directly with students. The right AI tools can help to automate or streamline these tasks, which allows teachers to have additional time with their students.

Creating and supplementing content: Through AI-powered platforms, teachers can curate a range of educational resources. With generative AI in particular, teachers are able to create lessons, activities, assessments, prompts for discussion, and presentations simply by providing a short prompt with keywords.

7 education Tools that work

Here are seven AI-powered tools that will help teachers with personalized learning that enables them to become more efficient and save time that can then be spent with students. I have used each of these for my own personal writing and creating of presentations, and the amount of time they save by generating the slides alone helps me to focus more closely on the content. I also appreciate that the tools offer translation options and a variety of templates and other resources that are commonly used by educators.

The recently released Teaching with AI guide for teachers was created to help educators use ChatGPT in their classroom. The guide comes with several suggested prompts and includes explanations that clarify exactly how ChatGPT works and what its limitations are, and it provides reminders of the importance of verifying information and checking for bias. With ChatGPT 4, which is a paid version, there is greater accuracy and reliability of information than with the original version.

Creating and sharing these resources with our students leads to rich conversations about the benefits of AI and proper use of this technology for creating and learning. There are many more tools available for teachers to explore that can help with each of the key areas that I mentioned. Most important is selecting a tool to start with and reflecting on how it impacted your practice.

The increased use of technology in education has led to a rise in cyber attacks on school networks, impacting student learning by disrupting access to digital tools. Learn how to mitigate these risks and educate students about cybersecurity.

With the increased use of technology and reliance on digital tools for everything related to education and the world of work, there has been an increased number of cyber attacks happening. These cyber-attacks are not only happening to companies and organizations around the world, more recently, there have been many schools in the United States that have fallen victim to cyber-attacks on their school networks. These attacks wreak havoc in so many different ways. Beyond the financial aspect of recovering from a cyber attack, there is an impact on student learning. Losing access to digital tools impacts our instructional methods as well as limits the materials that students can use to create artifacts of learning or to engage in different ways with the content in their classroom. It can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months or even longer to fully recover from a cyber attack, so it is essential that we understand how to protect our information and, of course, that we help our students to understand the importance of cybersecurity. Especially in today's digital age, we need to know how to evaluate the websites and the tools that we are using, to model this for our students and to guide them to develop the skills needed to stay safe online and for future success . Learning about cybersecurity may also spark an interest in possible !

First, it is important to understand cybersecurity. Cybersecurity and cyber safety need to be discussed and explored at all grade levels. Cybersecurity is the practice of taking measures that ensure we have protection in place for the devices we use and the networks we rely on and that any personal and sensitive information that may be shared in our schools is safe from unauthorized access. We have so many technologies available to us, and this is one of the reasons that we are seeing an increase in these attacks, whether through phishing scams, ransomware, or other malware. revealed that approximately 27% of children ages 7-17 had encountered harmful content while online. Additional studies showed that 75% of children are willing to openly share personal information online, which is why we must be intentional and proactive in helping students understand how to protect themselves online.

There are a variety of resources available to explore that offer lessons on different topics related to cybersecurity and also have great examples for students to really look closely at fake websites and phishing scams and learn how to identify fraudulent information.
Here are a few to explore:

1. provides resources for educators and students to learn more about cybersecurity and the careers available in this field.

2. offers resources to help students understand how to stay safe online. They also have a video series created in partnership with CISA.

3. Phishing Activities are fun for students to learn to analyze emails and other messages. The Phishing Quiz from Google and the phishing game from SoSafe were really enjoyed by my students.

4. Staying Safe Online is available from Common Sense and has 23 great lesson plans for classroom use.

5. The Password Game has students enter passwords, and with each letter or character, another rule is added that they have to follow in order to create a password.

In addition to the organizations that provide resources focused on cybersecurity, there are some guidelines that I use with my students. It is important to teach them how to create a strong password. I Have come up with a pattern that I use that helps me to remember every password that I set for each individual site that I use. Reminding students to not use the same password across websites is also important. the use of a mix of characters and upper and lowercase letters, as well as symbols and numbers is important and also makes it more difficult for somebody to discover the password. There is a that takes students through activities to try to create a password, and then it lets them know how long it takes for the password to be guessed. This was a lot of fun for my students to try in our classroom.

We should also talk to students about an additional layer of safety for information through Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Some examples of 2FA include providing your number to receive a text message with a verification code, an email, or even a phone call to verify that you are trying to access your account. This added layer will help even more prevent unauthorized access to your information.

Here are a few tips that I share with students:

1. Create unique and strong passwords.

2. Don't overshare personal information.

3. Be careful using public WIFI.

4. Don't download files or click on links before verifying who sent the email and check the address carefully.

5. Install antivirus programs and keep your software and operating systems updated.

If we make time for discussing cyber safety in our classrooms and help students build these skills, it will greatly benefit them and help them to keep their information safe. It may even lead them to explore possibilities in this area! We will see more technology in use and especially with artificial intelligence and its capabilities, we have to be even more careful when accessing information and interacting online.

Editor's note: This week we're joining thousands of educators and students at ISTE, the United States' biggest educational technology exhibition. Visit us at Booth 1424, where you can check out new Chromebooks and features in Google Workspace for Education. Follow along on Twitter and Facebook for the latest updates.

Every teacher and student deserves to have access to meaningful educational experiences and AI is helping us make that possible. As part of our commitment to make AI broadly accessible, we're providing a variety of tools for educators and learners to use in the classroom. Last year we released a responsible Gemini experience for teens using their personal Google Accounts after consulting with child safety and development experts to help shape our content policies and an experience that prioritizes safety. Since then we've taken a number of additional steps to ensure we're bringing this technology to students responsibly, partnering with learning science experts, testing with youth advisory panels and committing to add extra data protection for all education users free of charge, meaning Google will not use data from chats to improve AI models.

In the coming months, we're making Gemini available to teen students in over 100 countries around the world, free of charge. Part of our commitment to making AI helpful for everyone, in the classroom and beyond, Gemini and other AI-powered tools can be used to personalize and enhance the learning experience across Google Workspace for Education and Chromebooks.

How we're making learning more personal and differentiation more achievable

Helping teen students learn responsibly and confidently in an AI-first future with Gemini: In the coming months, teen students that meet our minimum age requirements will be able to chat with Gemini in English with added data protection while using their school-issued accounts, free of charge. To ensure schools are always in control, Gemini will be off by default for teens until admins choose to turn it on in the Admin console. After enabling it, admins can install the Gemini web app on Chromebooks so everyone has easy access. Parents and guardians can learn more about using AI with teens in our Guardian's Guide to AI in education.

Grow reading skills with Read Along in Classroom: Now a Google Workspace for Education service, Read Along in Classroom helps students get real-time support with the help of AI. Educators can assign reading activities for individual students based on Lexile® measure, grade level or phonics skills, with over 800 books from Heggerty, ReadWorks and more to choose from. Educators can also view insights on reading accuracy, speed and comprehension. Going forward, we're piloting the ability for teachers to generate personalized stories tailored to student needs, and you can sign up to be a part of the pilot program. Read Along in Classroom will be available globally, so students around the world can practice their reading skills in English. Teachers can also enable additional support in a student's native language, starting with Spanish, for certain books.

Enable differentiated instruction with Google Classroom: To make lesson and content planning easier, we're piloting Gemini in Classroom features informed by LearnLM, our new family of models fine-tuned for learning, based on Gemini and grounded in educational research. Separately, educators will soon be able to define groups of students in Classroom to assign different content based on each group's needs. AI-suggested questions for certain science videos are also available now in English to help quickly create YouTube assignments.

Supercharge teacher productivity with Gemini in Chromebook Plus: We recently announced that we're bringing Gemini to Chromebook Plus, powerful devices to supercharge productivity for both teachers and staff, starting at just $350. With new features for all users over the age of 18 coming soon like Help me write, Help me read, generative AI backgrounds, AI powered noise cancellation and admin policies to control all of the features, Chromebook Plus will be your trusted teaching companion. Choose from devices from Acer, ASUS, and now, CTL, too, like the new CTL Chromebook Plus PX131GXT.

Create videos for teaching and learning with Google Vids: We recently announced Google Vids, a collaborative video creation app in Google Workspace that makes it easy to make engaging videos and inspire the next wave of storytellers. We're releasing a version of Vids without generative AI exclusively to students and educators with Google Workspace for Education Plus later this year; the version powered by generative AI will be available with a Gemini for Google Workspace add on.

Helping young people safely navigate an AI internet with a new media literacy curriculum: Developed with leading experts, including NAMLE (National Association of Media Literacy Education), Google's Be Internet Awesome launched a new Media Literacy Handbook for teachers designed to build the foundational media literacy skills needed to prepare students for a future with AI.

How we're helping educators and students connect across our platforms and products

Making sure our products and services work together seamlessly is another way we help educators and students have a great experience. Here are some of the new ways we're creating connectivity across not only our own products, but also other apps you know and love.

Stay organized with Google Task and Calendar integrations. Check and update your to-do lists right from your Chromebook desktop. Students can also use Google Classroom to help them track assignments and complete their work on time, rolling out in the coming weeks.

Collaborate with Meet and Assignments in your LMS. Google Workspace Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI)™ is our collection of products that connect Google Workspace for Education with popular learning management systems (LMS). In the coming weeks, students and educators who use Canvas and PowerSchool Schoology Learning will be able to access Google Meet directly from their LMS with Google Meet LTI. Educators who use Canvas have already been using Assignments LTI to better distribute, analyze and grade student work. In the coming weeks, Assignments LTI 1.3 will be available in PowerSchool Schoology Learning as well.

Integrate your Student information System (SIS) with Google Classroom to enable educators to export grades to select SIS gradebooks. Soon, you can set up classes with OneRoster SIS partners, including Aspen, Infinite Campus, Skyward and PowerSchool SIS and import information like student lists, co-teachers and grading settings.

Discover new apps that integrate with Workspace for Education and Chromebooks in the Google for Education App Hub. We're launching 16 new Classroom add-ons (Kami, Quizizz, Screencastify, Boom Learning and more) and expanding the app licensing program with six new partners coming soon (Canva, codeSpark, Equatio, Genially, Sora, and Sumo), providing educators with a wider range of integrated tools to enrich the teaching and learning experience.

How we're supporting safe, secure and inclusive learning

As part of our commitment to fostering safe and inclusive learning environments, we're rolling out new security and accessibility features across Chromebooks and Google Workspace for Education.

Chat safer with new settings for students in Google Chat. In the coming months, admins will be able to restrict students from initiating direct messages and creating spaces, helping provide a safer and easier way for teachers to communicate with students.

Protect data with improved controls in Admin console. Now available, multi-party approval allows admins to require additional approval by another admin to complete a sensitive action, like changing two-step verification settings. And, admins can now proactively block compromised mobile devices using context-aware access. With Chrome Education Upgrade, admins can configure apps and extension permissions in Google Admin console for groups - now, admins can do so for user and browser settings, too. And on the revamped device hub and details page, you'll notice a refreshed device list page with integrated notifications and a dedicated dashboards tab to help you be more proactive in managing devices. You can simply click on a notification and get a filtered device list affected by that notification and an info icon providing you with information on how to remediate that notification or link to relevant help center articles or settings within the admin console.

Support inclusion with new accessibility features. On Chromebooks, we're adding a new read aloud feature to reading mode in Chrome browser. And to make PDFs accessible by screen readers, you can now extract text from PDFs using Optical Character Recognition on Chrome browser and in the Gallery app on Chromebooks. And later this year, you'll be able to control your Chromebook actions hands free with your facial expressions and head movements. We're also adding new handwriting fonts in Google Workspace for Education to help educators teach handwriting based on regional research.

We're all about making things easier for teachers and students by giving them the best tools and resources to help them thrive in this ever-changing world. Reference this guide for each feature's availability, including the Google Workspace for Education edition or add-on required to access them. We're excited to see what you do with them next school year.

Let's go on an adventure as we look at how Book Creator can enhance your math projects.

This book includes 13 math projects that you can use in your classroom, each one tied to the Common Core standards. These projects can be easily modified to meet your teaching styles. Students can engage in any of the projects individually or collaboratively.

Some ideas to get you started

- Have example or past books for students to look at to understand the expectation of the creation. Here are some examples.

- Compose projects that can easily be scaled to different learning levels.

- Consider working with your fellow science and English colleagues to create cross-curricular projects that focus the relevance of math in real-world applications.

Share you ideas for using Book Creator in the classroom using the hashtag #BookCreator or tagging @BookCreatorApp or @LanceRKey on social media!

According to Bloom's Taxonomy, the highest level of learning happens at the creation phase of learning.

We see this reflected in the trends of the most popular video games (e.g. Minecraft and Fortnite). It seems kids like to create! Therefore, we as educators have to find a way to incorporate creation opportunities into our classes and Book Creator can help to do that.

1. Counting and Cardinality

Students can explore counting and cardinality by using the shapes tool.

With Book Creator, students can take pictures of
blocks and shapes that they have placed in different groups and counted.

Make a "Watch Me Count" book to capture everything students have learned about this topic.

For a "Watch Me Count" activity, students can explore learning how to count and how to put things in appropriate groups. After the students have added the desired number of each shape, you could have the students use the pen tool to write on each shape to count the number of shapes.

Next, you could have the students use the record button to record themselves counting each group of shapes. Lastly, as they are practicing their counting and grouping with blocks, encourage students to take picture of their blocks in groups with them counting them.

Session description

Spice up your lessons with new recipes and elevate your seasoned practices. Recipes for creativity, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, classroom culture and character development will all be available for you to sample. This is a more hands-on and intimate opportunity and share ideas with a current practitioner.

Purpose & objective

Spice up your lessons with new recipes and elevate your seasoned practices. Recipes for creativity, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, classroom culture and character development will all be available for you to taste.
The power of a "playground" is that it meets the needs of all attendees. By offering numerous topics at one time it allow an attendee to hear from multiple practitioners in a short amount of time or an attendee can "camp out" at one station for a deep dive opportunity to hear and see more on a particular topic.

Outline

Each of 12 stations will host a different educator and set of topics each hour. This is a more hands-on and intimate opportunity to talk with a current practitioner and share ideas in a small group setting. Ed Tech Chefs, current practitioners, will be sharing how they use EdTech tools to enhance their instruction and help make connections with students and engage through Creativity, Communication, Collaboration and Critical Thinking.

Supporting research

Similar to Ed Camp events... Playgrounds leverage the knowledge and experiences of participants. This form of presentations at a conference supports educators to organize and participate in powerful professional learning designed by and for educators.

These are all good people who want nothing more than to help educators and students!

I feel like all six of these are fantastic tools to get started with! Pick one and run with it :). Then, come back and try another. 

If you have questions or would like to see more about any of these resources, let me know in the comments (I may just respond with a video!)
