CCS Secondary Mini-Conference

Join us for a hands-on session on leveraging AI to transform teaching and enhance learning in middle and high school classrooms. Discover how educators have reimagined lessons across various subjects, including ELA, Exceptional Children, Art, Science, and Social Studies, by integrating safe and ethical AI tools.  This session will showcase standards-aligned examples that boost engagement, enhance critical thinking, and personalize instruction. Our approach aligns with the NC Standard Course of Study and ISTE Standards for Students and Educators, inspiring innovative uses of AI that create dynamic, student-centered learning environments.  Participants will leave with practical strategies and ready-to-use resources designed to elevate their teaching and empower students.

Discover how schools and districts are using NotebookLM to inform decision-making in PLCs and school improvement meetings and how teachers leverage it to create audio resources (aka podcasts) with the click of a button for students. NotebookLM is a powerful personalized AI that enhances planning and streamlines processes at all levels. Participants will create Notebooks and explore real-world success stories from schools implementing NotebookLM this year.

Come learn about NotebookLM, a Google AI site, that can help you create resources including amazingly realistic podcasts that are 100% AI generated. We will also talk briefly about Eleven Labs, a site that allows you to record content in hundreds of different AI-generated voices.

Come learn about SchoolAi, an Ai platform specifically designed for your students to interact with Ai in a safe and secure environment. Teachers can also use it to help with anything they do in their position....help writing lesson plans, IEP's, Quizzes, Rubrics, Syllabus, Grading....anything! We will also talk briefly about TeacherServer, a site made to support teachers of any content area with AMAZING resources!
