**AI One BYTE at a Time: 5 Practical & FREE Tips and Tools for Integrating AI for Equity in Learning & Content Mastery
Creator(s)- Janice Bigby
Target Audience: P-12
Session Description: This interactive training introduces five free, practical AI tools and applications that support equity and content mastery for multilingual, SPED, and diverse learners, and all framed within a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and SIOP approach to reduce prep time while increasing student engagement, confidence, and access to rigorous content. Educators will explore using AI to embed content-specific SIOP-scaffolded supports into their already practiced lessons with sentence frames, word banks, step-by-step instructions, and more ways to make content comprehensible. They will also learn how to use responsive SchoolAI Co-Teacher chatbots for scaffolding and clarifying for students, paras, co-teachers, and even homework help, along with Canva-based visuals & slides, Brisk tools for Google Classroom, and gamified assessments using WayGround/Quizizz and CFAs. Participants will leave with ready-to-use resources and a clearer vision of how to integrate AI ethically and effectively—one BYTE at a time.
