AI tools aren't just for teachers anymore. A new wave of student-facing AI tools is here, and they're designed to be safe, engaging, and actually useful in the classroom. In this hands-on session, we'll explore tools like MagicSchool Student, Snorkl, and Brisk Boost that put AI directly in students' hands. You'll learn what to look for when evaluating student AI tools, get hands-on time with each one, and walk away with practical ideas you can bring back to your classroom. Whether you're AI-curious or already experimenting, this session will help you move forward with confidence.
