Presenter: Rabbi Tzvi Hametz
Instead of talking about AI, let’s build with it during this hands-on webinar for K-8 Judaic and general studies teachers! Learn to build interactive review games, drag-and-drop activities, and custom classroom visuals, all in the Google and Canva accounts your school already has (or could…they’re free). Everything is teacher-built and teacher-controlled, so kids use the tools without ever touching AI themselves. You’ll leave with something you made, a handout to help you continue to experiment on your own, and a clear sense of when AI is worth using in your classroom and when to skip it. No coding is involved, no experience needed.
