From Catching Cheaters to Coaching Creators: Collaborating with AI to Cultivate Creativity, Curiosity, and Critical Thinking
Description
This session will explore how teachers can utilize the Gemini tools in Google Classroom to act as additional writing coach, so that students craft their writing, using AI as a Socratic tutor. The tools can help students tap into their thought process, organize their ideas, compose drafts that reinforce the skills they learn in class, and build their confidence while retaining agency with AI models aligned with the teacher’s desired learning outcomes.
