Prompt, Polish, Perfect: Upgrading Your AI Output from Basic to Brilliant
Description

While many use AI as a simple search engine, this session educates participants on how to integrate Gemini as a sophisticated co-designer. This session empowers educators across all subjects and grade levels to overcome the frustration of generic AI outputs. Participants will master the C.O.R.E. Framework (Context, Objective, Role, and Exclusions) and Chain Prompting to build sophisticated, multi-step instructional materials. In this high-engagement workshop, learners will actively interact with Gemini to see how intentional prompting levels up every response. After walking through the framework, attendees will create and refine their prompts to tackle personal real-world tasks. By the end, educators will have evaluated AI outputs to reduce biased outcomes and participated in a prompt swap to crowdsource best practices. Participants will leave with a practical toolkit of personalized prompts and the confidence to leverage AI as a collaborative partner.
