SUMMARY:EdTech Strategy Session: Lesson Planning + Sustainable AI
DESCRIPTION:The April 11th EdTech Strategy Session is for all educators – please share with your teachers statewide! They can register here: worlded.me/ETSS2024 \nThese are the two lightning talk topics: \n⚡ Tech Tools for Lesson Planning by Anthony Burik \nOTAN has technology tools for lesson planning. The OTAN Lesson Plan Builder helps teachers structure the parts of the lesson. The Teaching with Technology tool helps identify lesson plans integrating technology that engage students\, enhance their learning\, and extend their learning. At the foundation of both are the WIPPEA lesson plan model and the Triple E framework. We also discuss the impact of AI on lesson planning and how OTAN tools connect with a teacher’s AI work. \n⚡ Reducing AI Waste by Rachel Riggs \nYou may have heard or wondered about generative AI’s impact on the environment. In this lightning talk\, learn some teacher-friendly tips to reduce AI waste based on the top priorities of the waste management hierarchy: prevent\, reduce\, reuse\, and recycle!

SUMMARY:EdTech Strategy Sessions — Tools and Strategies for Bringing AI to English Learners 
DESCRIPTION:Bringing AI to Adult Literacy\nWhat does it take to bring cutting-edge AI tools into real-world classrooms? This lightning talk dives into findings from a pilot study of the Pace AI platform\, designed to support adult English learners. Discover how engaging features like pronunciation feedback boosted confidence and learning. We’ll explore where there’s potential and what’s on the horizon! \nFusing Literacies Through Content\, Process\, and Product\n‘Fusing Literacies’ isn’t just a catchy phrase (or cool band name); it’s a call to action. It’s a call to connect our rich andragogical approaches to adult English language instruction with the play and promise of digital exploration—supporting our multilingual learners as they engage with technology-rich environments. Borrowing from Carol Tomlinson’s differentiation mode\, this talk focuses on fusing through content\, through process\, and through product. \nThis session is sponsored by Pace AI. \nRegister Here
