Outline
Presentation Outline I. Introduction and Problem Framing (5 Minutes) • Content: Introduce the challenge of achieving significant student growth and the strategic solution: Gen AI. • Process/Engagement: Use Device-Based Polling to quantify the audience's current achievement gaps, immediately engaging them and fulfilling the Spark Curiosity principle. • Time: 0:00 - 0:05. II. Case Study: Data Proof and Model Presentation (10 Minutes) • Content: Present the ESTREAM model and its Gen AI engine. Reveal the compelling pilot data: a 40% surge in on-grade-level performance in reading and math. Showcase how the tool generates personalized, Project-Based Learning (PBL) units. • Process/Engagement: Conduct a Data Review and Visualization to prove the concept, followed by a Live Demonstration of the Edtech Studio tool. • Time: 0:05 - 0:15. III. Strategic and Pedagogical Shifts (15 Minutes) • Content: Discuss ISTE alignment, focusing on how the curriculum integrates Computational Thinking (CT 5a, 5c) and how the streamlined process allows teachers to develop student ownership of learning goals (Facilitator 6a). • Process/Engagement: Facilitate a Peer-to-Peer Interaction (Turn-and-Talk) to discuss the necessary pedagogical shift from content instruction to facilitating Global Collaboration in PBL teams (GC 7b, 7c). This fulfills the Connect Learning to Learner principle. • Time: 0:15 - 0:30. IV. Hands-on Lab: Artifact Creation (25 Minutes) • Content: Guided creation of the Personalized PBL Implementation and Computational Thinking Action Plan, which serves as the tangible takeaway artifact. • Process/Engagement: Guided Artifact Creation (Individual work on devices). This section fulfills the Prioritize Authentic Experiences and Ignite Agency principles. o Activity 1: PBL Integration Matrix: Align an existing unit to the ESTREAM model's PBL requirements. o Activity 2: Computational Thinking Prompt Guide: Craft specific Gen AI prompts to direct students toward problem formulation (CT 5a). o Activity 3: Agency and Ownership Framework: Define roles and assessment criteria for effective project teamwork (GC 7c). • Time: 0:30 - 0:55. V. Wrap-up and Commitment (5 Minutes) • Content: Final Q&A, review of key takeaways, and commitment to action. • Process/Engagement: A Quick Share-Out where 1-2 attendees share their highest-priority action item. Distribute the final plan template digitally. • Time: 0:55 - 1:00.
