#250: What happens when you put creativity at the center of an AI-powered classroom? Joe and Kristen Merrill — teachers, authors, and the dynamic duo behind the InterACTIVE Class series — are here to show you.

In this session, Joe and Kristen take tried-and-true classroom strategies and give them a modern twist, blending emerging AI tools with the kind of meaningful, student-driven creation that meets every learner where they are. You'll walk away with real lessons pulled directly from their own classrooms — not theory, but practice you can use tomorrow.

They'll explore how to move students beyond passive consumption and into authentic creation using tools like Canva, Adobe Express, School AI, Book Creator, Snorkl, Padlet, and app smashing techniques that bring it all together.

🎨 Tools covered: Canva · Adobe Express · School AI · Book Creator · Snorkl · Padlet · App Smashing
