Stop treating AI as a search engine and start using it as a multifaceted educational engine. This hands-on session dives into the Gemini Ecosystem, covering the distinct thinking models (Pro vs. Flash), the creative power of Gemini Canvas, and the specialized expertise of Gems. Attendees will experience a "Design Sprint" where they move from a raw curriculum idea to a fully fleshed-out resource package.

The "Explore & Create" Workflow:

Explore: Navigate the Gemini interface to understand when to use "Deep Research" for complex planning vs. "Flash" for quick classroom tasks.

Create (The Admin Track): Build a custom Gem (AI Specialist) trained on your district’s specific coaching rubric or strategic goals to act as a 24/7 instructional mentor.

Create (The Teacher/Student Track): Use Gemini Canvas to transform a standard lesson plan into an interactive visual timeline or a structured project-based learning (PBL) guide.

Participant Takeaway: A personalized "Digital Toolkit" including one custom-built Gem and a "Canvas-enhanced" unit plan ready for immediate classroom use.
