Overview

Let’s explore how computational thinking can transform teaching workflows by leveraging AI as a productivity multiplier. By breaking down tasks into smaller components, teachers can "farm out" repetitive or ideation-heavy processes to AI tools. While AI isn't great at delivering high-quality final outputs, it excels at brainstorming, generating ideas, and offering initial feedback, freeing teachers to focus on more nuanced and creative aspects of their work. I will demonstrate how AI can handle differentiation, data analysis, and ideation, helping teachers work smarter, not harder.
