Using instruction that's responsive to the needs of varied learners in your classroom is essential. But it can be time-consuming to do it well. Generative AI offers tools that can streamline planning and save time. Many of these tools offer supports for differentiated or individualized instruction. But which ones are worth your attention, and how should you use them efficiently? This session will take an in-depth look at three popular tools that can be used to 1) individualize instruction for multilingual learners, exceptional children, students with advanced proficiency, or those reading below grade level, or 2) differentiate instruction based on readiness, interest, or learning profile. We'll review specific features of MagicSchool, Diffit, and ChatGPT, including examples, strengths, and limitations. We'll also offer concrete guidelines for using each one efficiently and ethically, and participants will practice using one of the tools. This session targets new and experienced users of these tools.
