Build What You Need: The Gemini Canvas Crash Course
Description

If you can describe it, Gemini Canvas can build it. Join an elementary and secondary Technology Integration team for a practical, hands-on session on using Gemini’s Canvas to create tools that actually fit your classroom. Instead of searching for the “right” resource, you’ll learn how to build your own—on demand. We’ll demonstrate how to move from a blank canvas to functional classroom tools in minutes, including visual timers that match your pacing, interactive games aligned to your content, and differentiated directions that adapt without adding prep time. You’ll see how the same idea can scale across grade levels—from simple, student-friendly interfaces in elementary classrooms to more complex applications in secondary settings—and how small prompt adjustments can dramatically improve what you create. This session focuses on real use, not theory. You’ll leave with strategies, examples, and the confidence to start building right away.
