SUMMARY:Harnessing AI to Enhance Language Acquisition and Content Mastery in the  Geography Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nArtificial intelligence (AI) is transforming education\, offering powerful tools to help teachers support emergent bilingual students in acquiring language skills while mastering geographic concepts. This presentation explores innovative ways AI can enhance both language acquisition and content knowledge in the geography classroom. By integrating AI-driven adaptive learning technologies\, educators can create inclusive\, personalized learning experiences. AI-powered tools can provide real-time language support\, scaffold academic vocabulary\, and improve reading comprehension\, allowing students to engage more deeply with geographic themes. Additionally\, interactive AI applications enable students to analyze maps\, interpret data\, and engage with case studies through choose-\nyour-own-adventure experiences\, fostering deeper exploration and critical thinking. These tools make content more accessible\, engaging\, and culturally relevant\, empowering emergent bilingual students to take ownership of their\nlearning. \nBeyond instructional benefits\, this session will address best practices for implementing AI ethically and effectively while also addressing the underlying concerns with utilizing AI to support student learning. Participants will gain practical strategies for leveraging AI to foster multilingual engagement\, critical thinking\, and collaboration in geography education while also reducing teacher workload through automated language support\, personalized feedback\, and data-driven insights that help tailor instruction to student needs. By harnessing AI’s potential\, educators can bridge language barriers\, enhance content understanding\, and empower emergent bilingual students to succeed. Attendees will leave with actionable insights and resources to integrate AI- driven language and content support into their geography classrooms. \nSession Focus\nSecondary/High School | English Language Learners/Bilingual Education | AI-Powered Learning\, Language Acquisition\, Geography Education \nConference Room\nClark \nMeet the Presenter\nDawn Brimhall serves as an Instructional Specialist in Aldine ISD and is a current doctoral candidate at the University of Virginia focusing on Curriculum and Instruction.
