3 Ways to use AI for better teacher balance and student engagement
Monday August 4, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am MDT
Teachers will get a quick overview of three ways they can utilize AI in the classroom to improve teacher work load and allow for greater student engagement including for research, differentiation, and incorporating choice. Having an understanding of how to leverage AI as an educator is essential because it can help teachers balance their workloads, engage students, and when you incorporate AI purposely it is less likely to be used nefariously. Presentation Link

Desmos -- it's more than a calculator
Monday August 4, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am MDT
Desmos is much more than a graphing calculator. The teacher.desmos Classroom Activities site lets teachers create or modify existing interactive lessons and retrieval opportunities. Participants will experience a variety of Desmos tools from the student perspective, then make an activity of their own. Need inspiration? We can help you find and modify ready-made activities and easily design an activity to auto-check a student's answer. Great for in-class or independent practice, or as a warmup or exit ticket. Applicable to all subjects, grades 6-12.
