Shake & Bake Your Own Web Content (REPEAT)

Tired of static handouts? Ready to bring interactive tools to your digital classroom? This fast-paced, practical workshop is designed for motivated, tech-savvy teachers who want to leverage the power of Artificial Intelligence to create engaging, dynamic web content—no coding experience required! You’ll learn a repeatable process to turn a classroom idea (like a simple game, a personalized quiz, or a dynamic learning tool) into a working, accessible website on your school domain. We’ll start with a rapid, plain-language primer on how websites work, giving you the essential lingo (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to effectively "talk" to AI tools like Gemini. You'll discover how to prompt the AI to generate the necessary code, instantly making you a web developer! You will see a practical example, moving from imagination to a site posted on a school domain using readily available tools like Google Gemini and Google Sites. The process is simple and quick; you'll be able to create fresh, dynamic content monthly, perhaps even weekly. Key Takeaways:  Learn the basic web concepts (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) you need to interact with an AI. Master a simple, repeatable workflow for generating and deploying dynamic web content. Start the process of posting an interactive learning tool live on a school-friendly platform. Example content you can make (not all will be discussed in this one session): Drag-and-drop vocabulary buildersRandomized scenario generators for history or scienceCustom flashcard systemsDifferentiated, immediate-feedback mini-quizzes Audience & Prerequisites Target Audience: K-12 teachers who are comfortable using technology but do not have professional web development or computer science training. Recommended Access/Tools (Please have these ready): A laptop computer or Chromebook (or iPad if you have some expertise on that device)Access to Google Gemini (or a similar large language model).Access to Google Sites (or familiarity with another simple, embed-friendly web platform).
