Generating quality classroom questions with AI

This session explores practical ways to use AI to support teaching and learning. It will demonstrate simple prompts for generating classroom questions, including how tools like Gemini can be refined using GEMS to create structured questions through approaches such as “I do, we do, you do.” It will also introduce NotebookLM as a way to build and share a bank of topic-specific information, enabling students to access personalised quizzes, flashcards and a subject-specific chatbot. There will be a brief look at how LLMs can generate simple HTML simulations to support interactive learning. The session will highlight key benefits of AI, including time-saving, support with teaching standards and more engaging lessons, while also addressing considerations such as plagiarism, the need for critical evaluation and the risk of over-reliance.

Design structured prompt sequences that align with the "I Do, We Do, You Do" framework.
Construct a personalized knowledge base using NotebookLM to generate curriculum-aligned flashcards and quizzes.
Discuss some advantages and reservations around using AI as a content creation tool.
