Our review of AI Literacy Day: Putting educators at the forefront

Here are just a few examples: A social studies teacher from the South Bronx shared his idea to use Gemini to create virtual worlds that allow students to experience historical periods firsthand. Another teacher used NotebookLM to help her class conceptualize abstract topics like endurance and strength by generating specific content and images so her students could better write about them ““hidden voices” of the black community.

After an instructional technology trainer shared how he used Gemini to create a “choose your own adventure” style game to teach financial literacy, teachers were eager to develop similar tools for their respective subjects. And in what many called a “wow moment,” an ELA teacher taught others how to create quizzes based on lesson plans and syllabi using Gemini in Google Forms, saving hours of planning and grading time. These are just a few examples of how educators with the right tools and training can lead the way as AI becomes more prevalent in the world.
