In this session, explore how AI can streamline everyday tasks and free up time for what matters most—teaching, leading, and creating.
You will learn about AI capabilities already built into some of our favorite tools, such as Seesaw, Lumio, Canva's Magic Tools & Code, MagicSchool, and PearStart.
We will also dive into one of the newer aspects of AI productivity, AI Chatbots. An AI chatbot is a digital assistant that interacts with you, understands your needs, and assists you in accomplishing specific tasks.
What Makes an AI Chatbot Different from a Regular Chat?
A chat is just a conversation—helpful, but temporary
A chatbot is a customizable tool designed for a specific purpose, with your personality, instructions, workflows, and settings built in
Think of the difference like:
Chat = texting someone
Chatbot = having your own personal assistant who knows your job, preferences, and tasks
It’s an expert for tasks or questions you ask AI repeatedly.
As you watch, think about which daily responsibilities could benefit most from automation or efficiency tools and how you might adapt these ideas to your role.
