Many educators are concerned about the future of academic writing assignments due to the unethical and dishonest use of AI writing generators. However, with a writing process approach, AI can enhance, not take over, student writing, and in fact, provide scaffolded support. During this presentation, attendees will learn how to use AI to differentiate instruction for students with diverse learning needs, providing customized support such as personalized feedback for brainstorming, outlining, editing, and revising based on student proficiency levels and needs. For each part of the writing process participants will learn about a specific AI tool that can support students. Participants will leave this session knowing how to apply these resources to their writing instruction.
Objectives: 1. Understand how to use AI to differentiate instruction for students with diverse learning needs. 2. Learn how to provide personalized feedback using AI for tasks such as brainstorming, outlining, editing, and revising. 3. Apply AI tools to customize support based on student proficiency levels and specific learning needs.
