Educators have plenty to do without the added task of figuring out AI. But we know AI is all around our students; we need to understand what it can do and how they might use it. Where do we start if we don’t have much spare bandwidth? How do we avoid getting overwhelmed by hype and options? In this workshop, we’ll look at two straightforward ways to try AI assistance. 

We’ll start with Khanmigo Teacher Tools, a free app in Canvas that guides you through common tasks like lesson planning and rubric creation. Khanmigo produces a draft, and we can ask for revisions. We’ll practice getting more out of AI by giving it specific directions and pushing it to improve. Then we’ll try uploading our existing materials to a chatbot like ChatGPT to get more tailored assistance with the same tasks. Participants will get hands-on practice with easy, guided approaches to AI that support our goals and teaching philosophy.
