The poster sessions at ISTE allow you to see some really great ideas and chat with the people who found success in their classrooms by using them. This session 'Creation over Consumption' was led by Joe and Kristin Merrill (@themerrillsedu.com), teachers, authors and PLD providers. They shared some creative ways you can use AI to deepen student's understanding of a text. I have included the platforms the resources were created on but from what I saw I feel these could be replicated on other platforms if you do not have access.
