From Values to Practice: A Zero-Cost Blueprint for Building an AI Literacy Ecosystem

Don't wait for rigid policy or buy expensive software. This session shares a zero-cost blueprint for building a community-anchored AI literacy ecosystem aligned with digital fluency standards. Explore a three-phase framework: turning feedback from educators, parents, curriculum councils and students into agile Core Beliefs that guide instruction ahead of formal policy, constructing low-cost custom tools and executing classroom deployment. See a live demonstration of the AI Curriculum Compass, a template built in NotebookLM and preloaded with state standards and district values, that helps any K-12 teacher cross-walk existing lessons into 10-minute AI literacy detours, such as pivoting an ELA text discussion into an exploration of algorithmic bias. Bring your device to join a real-time prompt demonstration. You will also discover an embedded professional development model using department push-ins and co-teaching designed to prevent teacher burnout. Walk away with exact prompt structures and deployment roadmaps to activate this ecosystem right away.
