Join Alice Keeler for this session for teaching with AI
Imagine having a team of teaching assistants who already know your syllabus and exactly how you like to give feedback. Join Google Certified Innovator Alice Keeler to learn how to use Google Gems to build a powerful collection of custom AI tools. We will explore how to engineer specific instructions so you can create a Grading Assistant or a Classroom Policy Manager that works for you. You will also learn how to leverage Gems shared by other educators to instantly expand your toolkit. This session is about super-powering your teaching by automating the routine tasks so you can focus on the students.
