AI Sidekicks for Educators: Work Smarter, Create More
Wednesday May 27, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm CDT
Artificial intelligence isn’t here to replace you —it’s here to support you. In this session, you’ll explore practical, approachable ways to use AI as a creative partner in the school setting. Learn simple strategies for brainstorming with AI and using it as a sounding board to refine ideas. You'll find ways to jumpstart finished products, such as lessons, presentations, handouts, and even multi‑day unit plans that save time and boost instructional quality and innovation.


We’ll also highlight fun, low‑pressure ways to use AI for playful prompts and imaginative interactions that increase engagement. This session is not just for classroom teachers, but for anyone in the school who knows a little about AI and wants to use it more confidently and effectively.


Bring your computer—there will be hands‑on time to explore the district’s AI Toolkit and experiment with tools yourself.
