Session Proposal 1: 

Brisk Teaching Chrome Extension

Discover how Brisk, a free AI-powered Chrome extension, can revolutionize your K-12 teaching workflow in this hands-on workshop. Learn to seamlessly integrate Brisk into Google Docs, Slides, and Forms to streamline lesson planning, enhance student feedback, and simplify grading. Explore features like AI-generated activities, personalized writing suggestions, and automated tasks. By the end of the session, you'll be empowered to leverage Brisk's capabilities to save time, reduce stress, and focus on inspiring your students. While there are both free and paid versions of Brisk, this session will focus on what the free version offers. No prior experience with Brisk or AI is required, just bring your laptop and a willingness to learn!

Intended Audience: All Audiences

*Note to WiRSA: I see that a team from CESA 4 is leading a session on Harnessing AI in the Classroom. Rather than “compete” with this (I’ve seen this session in the past and it’s great), I thought that a follow up session on Brisk would be helpful to offer participants an hour of hands-on learning with a single AI tool.

Session Proposal 2:
