Tools That Enhance Text: Create Literacy Experiences with AI, Robotics, and Innovation

Content and engagement: The presenters will cover Gemini Storybook, Robots (Indi, Beebot, Ozobot, etc), Art Integration, Soundscapes, and One Book One School. Presenters will post QR codes for each topic that provides access to resources and examples for participants to look through at their leisure. Though real-world examples will be provided, participants will also get hands-on experiences by testing out Gemini Storybook, completing coding activities, and experiencing a book with soundscapes. Time: The time spent on each will be dependent on the participants and their interests. Presenters will allow conversations and time spent to be based on participant's needs. Process: Participants will interact one on one with presenters. They will have the opportunity to speak peer-to-peer as they share ideas and learn from one another. Through QR codes they can interact with the content using their own device. The presenters will provide device-based activities, including robots, for participants.
