Build Interactive Classroom Tools with AI, No Coding Required
Description

Most classroom tech tools are one-size-fits-all and rarely align to specific standards or student needs. In this hands-on session, participants will design and build their own interactive, AI-powered classroom tools with no coding required. The focus goes beyond creation to instructional impact. Participants will develop tools that support key practices such as checking for understanding, providing immediate feedback, and increasing student engagement. Examples include interactive review activities, skill-based practice tools, and simple learning apps tied directly to classroom content. Participants will test and refine their tools, then embed them into Google Sites for immediate use. The session emphasizes aligning tools to clear learning goals rather than using technology for its own sake. By the end, participants will leave with at least one fully functional tool and a repeatable process for building tools that improve instruction and student thinking.
