Gotcha! Use AI for Good Not Evil!
Thursday May 1, 2025 8:30am - 9:15am CDT
Silver 11
AI can be student centered if we really try! Instead of trying to catch students in the act why can't we lead by example and take the power back from AI? Design things, create things, there will be practical lessons that you can use starting tomorrow!

All Roads Lead to Video
Thursday May 1, 2025 2:15pm - 3:00pm CDT
Silver 4
So, you want your students to produce media. You can stream it, you can upload it, you can print it…but how do you capture it? Video is easy; most of us have decent cameras in our pockets that get used every day (hour…minute…)...but what about *good* video? That’s harder. In this session, we’ll discuss practical ways to capture and edit better video for your content, on-set or on-location. Bring your computer if you like; Mac/Windows/Linux only, please.

Do you have a TA/para in your library? If not, you probably feel like your hair is on fire and your to-do list is never ending all of the time! With more and more on our plates as media specialist/librarians, our job can become overwhelming and somtimes feel impossible to do without support! In this session, we will talk about ways librarians be more efficient, get things done, and (hopefully) feel less stressed when you don't have the support of a para/TA!
