📺 Ditch Summit Day 3: AI in EDU today & tomorrow / Samsung

📺 New session: AI in the Classroom: Today, Tomorrow, and Beyond with Matt Miller

There’s been a lot of talk recently about new AI tools and how they can save us time in the classroom.

This is my own Ditch Summit AI session, and I wanted to make the most of it!

So I covered some of that — practical ways to use AI save time and level up teaching and learning.

📙 In my book AI for Educators, I share LOTS of practical AI ideas — plus real talk about cheating and plagiarism and more. 📙 

But in this two-part session, I also predicted the future a bit.

I’ve been reading a LOT about where AI is headed. And it’s making me think about where education is headed in response.

I put on my Tomorrow Glasses and tried to paint a picture of the future of education. (I reserve the right to have all of my predictions be wrong!)

I also shared a few ways we can prepare our classrooms and our students for that coming future — things we can do right now.

💡 Spotlight sponsor session: Accessibility with Tech for Equitable Outcomes with Samsung Education

Accessibility means breaking down barriers to learning for all of our learners.

So … what does that look like in a classroom?

In this VERY practical session, the PD team at Samsung Education shares tech and teaching tips for accessibility.

They include:

• Chromebook accessibility features built in to the device (just waiting for you to use them)

• Accessibility features in interactive displays in the front of the room

• How to create equitable learning pathways for all students with tech

BONUS: If you like this session, Samsung Education offers FREE virtual professional development that anyone can sign up for.

You’ll be glad you watched this session!
