SchoolAI for Elementary Educators: Strategies and Best Practices

AI isn't coming to the elementary classroom — it's already here. Join 2021 Kentucky Teacher of the Year Donnie Piercey for a practical, example-driven session on how SchoolAI can make your teaching life easier, not harder. Donnie will pull back the curtain on how he actually uses SchoolAI in his own elementary classroom — from setting up Spaces that guide students through independent practice, to using AI to differentiate instruction on the fly, to freeing up his time for small groups and one-on-one support. You'll see real Spaces, real student interactions, and real results, not just theory. You'll walk away with: A clear picture of how SchoolAI fits into daily elementary instruction Concrete examples of Spaces and activities built for young learners Practical tips for using AI to support differentiation and small-group work A framework for using AI responsibly and safely with elementary-age students Whether you're brand new to SchoolAI or already experimenting, this session offers real classroom examples you can adapt and use right away.

The magic is the timing. Students get help the moment they need it, so they actually learn instead of just making corrections.

Why I like SchoolAI is it's almost like a personal tutor, it's there for my needs, so I can ask it what I personally need.

My teacher's passion for instruction was reignited after she discovered how Spaces allowed her to deeply engage her students. She has the spark back in her teaching.

My SchoolAI space talks to me and helps me learn new things, like how many planets there are or fun facts about animals! It helps me ask questions, even when I'm not sure to ask.

Small group instruction used to mean 20 kids doing busy work. Now they're getting personalized lessons while I target specific needs.
