Description
Kane from the Teachers AI Cafe shares a live PD session on practical, classroom-tested ways AI can save teachers time and support low-literacy students. He explains that AI won’t replace teachers but works best with strong teacher judgment and domain knowledge, and recommends mastering one tool at a time. He demonstrates improving prompt quality by adding “ask me three questions before answering.” He shows using NotebookLM to turn history content into graphic-novel style slide decks for accessibility, noting different tools (NotebookLM, Claude, ChatGPT) produce different results. He also demonstrates generating ready-to-use webquests with links, scaffolding, quizzes, and answer keys for relief lessons. Finally, he shows automating weekly AI news/article collection via scheduled tasks and converting any image into a clean black-and-white coloring page in ChatGPT.
