Play with Purpose: Integrating Game-Based Learning into Standards-Based Instruction
LIMITED
Wednesday July 22, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Engaging students while meeting rigorous standards doesn't have to be a tradeoff. Game-based learning, when grounded in thoughtful design, can drive content mastery, persistence, and authentic formative assessment. In this session, participants will explore GPB's (Georgia Public Broadcasting) free collection of K-12 game-based learning resources and examine how game design elements support standards-aligned instruction across content areas. We'll revisit GPB's most widely used classroom games and analyze what makes them effective, then preview two new experiences: FarmTech Quest, which develops agricultural literacy and systems thinking, and Let's Trade, an introduction to international trade and global economic decision-making. All GPB resources come with teacher support materials designed for quick classroom integration, including expansion activities and unplugged options that extend learning beyond the screen. Attendees will leave with practical integration strategies, formative assessment techniques, and direct access to free, standards-aligned resources ready for immediate classroom use.

AI‑Powered Threats: What Cyber Guardians Need to Know
Wednesday July 22, 2026 2:00pm - 2:15pm EDT
Artificial intelligence has moved from a novelty to a daily necessity, and threat actors are using it faster than most people realize. AI now enables more believable scams, more convincing impersonation, and more automated attacks that target schools, staff, students, and families.
This session helps Cyber Guardians:
  • Understand how AI is being misused
  • Recognize fakes, traps, and scams
  • Practice real‑world decision‑making
  • Learn simple, repeatable self‑defense behaviors
  • Become trusted security messengers in their schools
