2025 Elevated Teaching Summit

We will go over using Google LTI through Canvas, Brisk Teaching AI feedback tools to enhance the writing process, and other supports offered through Brisk Teaching AI. Using the external tool link in Canvas to attach a Google LTI allows teachers to have a pre-formatted Google Doc force copy for each student, have access to version history for each student, and embed a rubric that automatically transfers the score to Canvas. The google extension, “Brisk Teaching,” has many functional features designed to assist teachers with lesson design and feedback. Since timely, relevant feedback has the largest impact on student growth, we believe that Brisk Teaching, and other generative AI tools for teachers, will have a significant impact upon our teaching practice and student growth.

This presentation will share experiences using MagicSchool as a support for students in creative writing and language arts classrooms. Students often turn to AI for final products when they misunderstand or want to avoid work. In response, guided and focused use of AI in the initial stages of creative or critical production can delineate appropriate use – and actually encourage original thinking. We will discuss the uses and limitations of selected tools in MagicSchool, and we will show how to set them up for moderated student use, as they brainstorm and develop ideas for projects and writing.
