Please use this page and its sections to summarize one Team's solution to a problem/challenge. This can be short paragraphs, bullets, sketches, etc. that provide a high-level overview of the product, idea, project, or concept. The purpose of this final report is to quickly and concisely communicate the main points to a reader.

Please take your time to craft a clear and compelling summary.

Product Vision Summary (From Video):

This tool gathers information on students to support the teacher and class in facilitating productive class discussions. This tool builds a profile for each student, documenting each student’s capabilities (i.e. student success in reaching learning objectives) through classroom participation. The tool also passively gathers student interests and other information by engaging students in one-on-one chatbot conversations. Using this information, the tool gives the teacher real-time feedback, suggestions, and dynamic discussion techniques to better support student discussion through a privileged teacher interface. Tool saves data gathered on each student and uses it to inform suggestions in future discussions as well. In addition to suggestions to the teacher, tool projects discussion guidance on the board for the whole class to see. The discussion guidance could filling content knowledge gaps, provide background context, produce media on demand, synthesize topics with other classes.

1. What problem/challenge is the Team trying to solve?
1. We are trying to uplift student engagement while saving teachers time
2. What benefits does the solution offer?
1. The tool: listening to student discussion and engaging them to aggregate interests and skills

using discussion info to align texts to the correct level for the students

the lesson

Steps:

1. a process that draws out student interests using a prompt for a discussion that is listening and engaging groups of students

2. spine of the lesson— engaging with complex text and utilizing AI metric to adapt this set of texts to guide students into this
1. AI suggests different modular activities to guide students into reading this complex text
2. that can be reading a set of texts, engaging in a debate
3. asking students to do something built on the previous activities
3. Why is this a priority?
1. Student engagement in school is a continuing issue. Students often feel that the content they learn in school does not relate to them or have real-world relevance.
2. Teacher’s are overburdened with work and do not have the time or capacity to effectively support their students.
3. These problems are related: if teacher’s do not have enough time to effectively craft a learning environment that engages each student as an individual, they cannot effectively learn as a whole group.

BRAINSTORMING PRODUCT DETAILS:

Building the Product: somehow utilizing student interests to be implementable into constraints of lesson plan and desired learning outcomes

• Rotating spotlight
• also gathers information on what they did and did not understand
• if the bot already has the broad context on a subject and then from there incorporates student interest
• develops a nuanced synthesis of personal data to contribute to each learner’s ability to participate in the group discussion

Facilitating Engagement:

• lesson plan can be contextualized per your interests within the contraints or goals of the lesson
• ex: physics lesson like velocity through the visualization of a soccer ball being kicked
• How can this be augmentive to support the teacher, instead designing the whole lesson plan

“how much time is actually saved here?”

1. Gathering data: Students submit a pre-course survey sharing their interests and tool utilzes these responses to the survey

modular — aggregating student data— hands on activities, outside classroom experiences, resources

2. What medium is most useful to get the insights for the teacher?
3. what great teacher moves do we want to shortcut and build within this product?
4. Thought Exercise: Optimizing learning by way of alignment with interests, engagement
• English class 10th grade— critically analyze the bias in a text

need: discussion, a text,

5. the problem is the teacher is trying to solve the student engagement challenge
6. We allow students to have their own texts with some leveling tool to make sure kids are able to read it
7. mutating the chosen texts to cover certain topics
8. need text sets to build the background knowledge to read a certain text
9. Product to build off of Trellis

Potential Problem: losing students who are at different levels

Problem: Student Surveillance/Privacy

Information that the student shares, either with the chatbot, or in-class discussion,

• to compare: students passive interests and actions being tracked by apps like insta
• example: conversational paradigm w chatbot, learning from student over time
• aggregates this stored data from each student
• have the ai listening to student conversation and aggregating these trends

Problem: Overpowering influence on student’s authentic brainstorming

This tool may over guide or influence authentic and natural pathways in discussion. Silence in the classroom is OK — its a growth moment.

• students are the last to know what they want to be doing
• issue of self-awareness
• passive reasoning over time collected from individual
