Brisk AI Pilot Debrief by Daniel Hutterer

2025-06-04 23:04:47 UTC

The targeted feedback was very accurate and it made my students really focus on improving their writing.

2025-06-04 23:08:15 UTC

Being able to have information from a google doc and create a slideshow that included images was very helpful. - Falanda Collins & Karina Tejeda-De Leon

Using grows and glows in 2nd grade by having students share their writing to the teacher and giving feedback from the teachers computer.

2025-06-04 23:08:32 UTC

Used to create slide decks, guiding questions, notes, etc from a PDF. Saved a lot of time

Created multiple versions of assessments

2025-06-04 23:08:41 UTC

Brisk easily integrates with our programs. It gives targeted feedback that includes glows and grows.

kkoehler18 — 2025-06-04 23:08:55 UTC

Feedback! Writing feedback all the livelong day!

2025-06-04 23:09:03 UTC

Creating multiple versions of assessments and keys! - Ayanna Pantallion

2025-06-04 23:10:15 UTC

Convert instructional videos into instructional slides and vice-versa.
Give immediate feedback on essays so that students could revise.
Simplified text and used slides.
Created rubrics and finished projects.
Thinking partner that helps modify documents into different formats.
Created slides from a video and created lesson plans.
Used objectives to make slides.

2025-06-04 23:10:50 UTC

Inspecting student writing! Discovering how much students actually spent on a paragraph or a writing piece was very helpful. - Falanda P, Jener M.

2025-06-04 23:11:15 UTC

Used it to create adjusted reading levels of webpages. Super cool! Created a google doc instantly.

2025-06-04 23:12:20 UTC

Our group liked the Grow/Glow function!

2025-06-04 23:12:51 UTC

The tutor feature the students found helpful. They said better than grammarly's free feature. Students said the AI helped them with ideas as they wrote their essay. The citations from the novels were more accurate than other AI systems.

2025-06-04 23:17:09 UTC

Top three tools-rubrics, targeted feedback, glow and grow, and quizzes

mmejia149 — 2025-06-04 23:19:13 UTC

Used to create lesson slides from videos.

Generate sample questions and math problems.

Differentiation, scaffolding, and simplifying text.

During writing for feedback.

Create slides from an objective to facilitate planning for a PBL protect.

kkoehler18 — 2025-06-04 23:19:16 UTC

Feedback, specifically glows and grows. Rubric feedback was somewhat helpful.

maestromarquez — 2025-06-04 23:19:23 UTC

Using the Create tool for lesson plans, DOK questions, IEP goal plan and 504 plan. Used feedback.

2025-06-04 23:19:57 UTC

Creating a rubric, quizzes, writing feedback. -Falanda

Creating notes & slides off of PDF's and webpages. -Alana

Writing feedback. - Jener

Creating quizzes and zeroing in exactly with what I wanted! - Ayanna

Glow and Grows for writing! - Marianna

Creating engaging slides for lessons! - Karina

maestromarquez — 2025-06-04 23:20:35 UTC

Create slides from content from the webpage and add slides after you create a slide deck.

2025-06-04 23:21:00 UTC

Glows and Grows with writing but also Guided Notes feature for lecture notes or YouTube videos. Adjusting the grade level was really beneficial.

tkooy — 2025-06-04 23:23:50 UTC

Glows and grows for grading writing!

2025-06-04 23:23:54 UTC

Glows and grows.

Video feedback on student on the assignment.

2025-06-04 23:28:34 UTC

The student feedback tool, where they can talk to the AI to adjust their writing.

2025-06-04 23:28:39 UTC

If students respond to the feedback by critically thinking about it and analyzing it, it can inspire creativity, -Falanda

Brisk pressed students to really listen to the podcast and be able to generate responses to the questions being asked. - Marianna

2025-06-04 23:29:34 UTC

Level up math problems
Provide choice
Problem solving skills
DOK
Access to text by simplifying it

mmejia149 — 2025-06-04 23:30:05 UTC

Leveling up questions or math problems. Created extensions for the math problems. And creating math problems from literature.

Break down complex questions and how to apply those skills to other questions.

Project ideas

Math problems.

Access to text, leveling for the student.

Through the type of feedback it creates and how kids apply it to their work.

maestromarquez — 2025-06-04 23:31:15 UTC

Teachers can use brisk to develop higher level learning for reading and math.

Having feedback given with the student present can develop a sense in the student that they need to critically think about the AI feedback. They do not need to take every piece of feedback from the AI.

2025-06-04 23:32:31 UTC

Can help get over areas that are roadblocks to move on or' I don't have any idea or where to start' situation.

2025-06-04 23:33:33 UTC

Use to create art-interpretation questions for culture lessons (foreign language).

Use to create writing samples with deliberate mistakes for students to edit (foreign lanaguage).

Using Brisk to include U.N. SDG's in existing lessons.

2025-06-04 23:36:28 UTC

Students might get used to something else doing the "thinking" for them.

2025-06-04 23:37:59 UTC

Over-reliance on student part.
Removes productive struggle.
Takes away from student effort.
Removes creativity from student.
Bias

2025-06-04 23:40:06 UTC

Students trusting the Brisk or AI tools without fact checking.

maestromarquez — 2025-06-04 23:40:24 UTC

trust but verify

2025-06-04 23:40:44 UTC

Over reliance and/or stopping their own thinking. Reflection is very important in assignment completion. - Falanda

It could be beneficial as Brisk can be helpful like a tutor. - Jener

Students choosing to go to Brisk directly rather than giving the assignment a shot themselves. - Ayanna

Students copying and pasting!! Students seeing it as a way to get out of work rather than a tool to complete their work. - Marianna

2025-06-04 23:41:12 UTC

How much are we allowing for students to not be able to independently write.

2025-06-04 23:41:19 UTC

Of course, just making sure they did their own thinking and writing. So hard.

2025-06-04 23:43:39 UTC

There needs to be focused instruction for students about how exactly to use AI for what purpose, districtwide and on an ongoing basis.

2025-06-04 23:45:33 UTC

I think teachers at at all grade levels would benefit from the teacher tools.

2025-06-04 23:49:43 UTC

Use your critical thinking skills when using AI
Create district-wide policy for usage
Standard aligned
Use with a purpose
Use AI to learn and NOT to do your work
Keep your voice instead of the Bot's voice
Use it as a thinking partner
Wondering: Will parents need to sign-off for student usage?
Be respectful when using AI
It must be grade-level appropriate
Students need to know that it is being monitored
Students need to know the red flags

2025-06-04 23:50:04 UTC

Make it part of our Digital Citizenship

2025-06-04 23:50:29 UTC

It can be used in grade levels 4 and up because it may be helpful for their writing. -Falanda

Early primary students are just learning to engage as learners and AI tools can wait. -Karina

The more specific and clear the parameters for students, the better. - Ayanna

As an educator, I need more time to explore the tools and learn more about it. - Alana & Marianna

It would be very helpful for writing drafts and revisions at the middle school levels for students to find other ways in presenting an introductory paragraph, for example. -Jener

kkoehler18 — 2025-06-04 23:50:35 UTC

Hard question to answer. Perhaps using glows and grows to help revise writing?

2025-06-04 23:50:50 UTC

Students and teachers are ultimately responsible to make sure they are aware of the work that AI has done. If teachers make a test/quiz, they need to be aware of the questions and answers. If a student uses it to answer assignments or write an essay, they have to know, it may not be complete or good writing.

2025-06-04 23:52:46 UTC

I would love to have an all day training that included mini training sessions in the different tools.

2025-06-04 23:53:02 UTC

Differentiating an assignment for students in my class.

2025-06-04 23:53:12 UTC

Hands-on training

Teachers should learn how to differentiate intentionally without losing rigor

Collaboration

Planning Time

2025-06-04 23:53:53 UTC

Model lessons to enhance real classroom tasks

2025-06-04 23:54:46 UTC

The teachers are going to need more time and check-ins throughout the PDS to try the tools and ask questions. This is going to be overwhelming for many teachers.

2025-06-04 23:56:14 UTC

Mini workshops going over the various tools and then time to explore on our own.

Teachers share what they have done (good and bad experiences) and lessons are also helpful.

2025-06-04 23:56:19 UTC

Chunk the PD in "Brisk bites". Something we can learn and apply. Keep it small and grade level appropriate.

2025-06-04 23:56:35 UTC

Hands-on and demonstration of professional development
Time to use in the classroom
Lab days and observation of teachers using AI
See what other teachers are doing and how they are using it
Differentiated
Professional development based on grade-level or grade-level span
Focused on one tool/area at a time with time to practice
Be aware of environmental impact and its use of water and energy consumption

2025-06-04 23:58:03 UTC

Brisk has so many features that a feature could be introduced in every PD and allowing teachers to integrated it in a week's time, would be helpful. - Jener

Guiding teachers into creating with time saving tools from the beginning. Hook teachers in with the very handy tools needed to start off the year. -Falanda

Presenting features gradually and allowing time for practice and implementation. -Ayanna & Karina

2025-06-04 23:59:15 UTC

I think the PD will need to be a long term commitment, not just one day PD. AI is not going away, and we need to commit to using it well if we are going to incorporate it in instruction and/or planning.

2025-06-05 00:00:42 UTC

Incorporate environmental lessons on the impact of AI for students.
