USD 261 Brings AI into Classroom Instruction

We provided virtual training for USD 261 educators, led by Dr. Sarah Thomas, on bringing AI-powered tools into their daily instruction.

About the client

Haysville USD 261 is the 18th largest school district in Kansas. It pairs the personal feel of a small town with the staff, curriculum and facilities you'd usually find in a much larger community.

The challenge

USD 261 wanted its educators to have the knowledge and skills to use AI in their classrooms, keep pace with how quickly the technology is changing, and find new ways to engage students.

What we did

We delivered a virtual session that demonstrated practical AI tools and strategies, including Google tools like Gemini, so educators could see how AI can help them engage students and personalize learning.

The result

Educators left with practical strategies and tools for using AI in their daily productivity and instruction, with a focus on engaging students and personalizing learning.

“I will definitely be in touch with you regarding more training! Thanks again for sharing your expertise. You are a VERY engaging presenter with helpful information!”
