AI is reshaping education, and students need to know how it actually works. This poster session helps teachers move from AI consumers to creative AI power players. Explore Discovery Education AI Masterclass resources alongside Google and Adobe tools, and learn hands-on prompting strategies that boost student creativity, vocabulary and critical thinking. See how to turn standard lessons into active, interdisciplinary media projects with the Bring a Legend to Life template, and reinforce descriptive writing through AI art with the Prompt Vocabulary Challenge. Tackle the tough topics head-on by modeling digital citizenship and ethical frameworks that guide students from plagiarism to intentional co-creation. Finally, discover a signature 3-Question Efficiency Prompt for automating draining administrative tasks such as drafting newsletters or differentiating reading levels.
