Digital Media, Graphic Communications, & Digital Technology Summer Conference

Get ready for a deep dive into the future of AI education in Utah! 🤖✨ In this interactive session, we’ll unpack the pilot strands & standards for the second AI course—what they are, why they matter, and how they’re intentionally designed to move students from AI users to AI creators.
But we’re not stopping at theory… 👀

As AI continues to become an integral part of the world, our role is to equip students to use it responsibly and critically. This session is designed to prepare educators to guide their students toward achieving the Gemini Certified Student credential.  During this session, we will unpack the certification process and explore how to seamlessly integrate these foundational AI skills into your existing curriculum. You will learn practical strategies to help students move beyond basic, conversational prompting, teaching them instead to partner with tools like Gemini and NotebookLM for high-level research, structured writing, and personalized study planning. Leave this session with a clear roadmap for facilitating the certification process with your students and prepare them for an AI-powered future.
