About Tony Vincent

Eventually, he left school teaching to be a self-employed consultant, sharing friendly ways for teachers to reach, empower, and inspire their students.

Workshop Description:

“Artificial Sweeteners: AI for Teachers and Everyone Else, Too!”

Teachers and therapists across all grade levels can sweeten their lessons with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI). A growing number of websites offer AI-powered tools for lesson planning, differentiating, communicating, and assessing. AI is an exceptional brainstorming partner and can produce delightful content, engaging activities, and instructional resources when combined with a teacher's expertise. We will explore free tools for crafting clever learning activities, developing thoughtful questions, authoring relevant story problems, reinforcing vocabulary, differentiating instruction, and generating rubrics. While the intelligence may be artificial, the results are real. Bring your laptop because you will be putting AI to use during this workshop. This workshop is appropriate for general and special education teachers and or related service providers.
