Google Summit 2026

Workshop One - AI @ SBHS Generative AI vs Agentic AI. Generative AI is problematic. Mistakes, hallucinations, AI slop. First thing that comes up with you do a google search - avoid the AI overview. New word in dictionary 2025 - AI SLOP NZCER AI in the Classroom - The Readiness GAP in NZ Primary Schools AI Policy - check that it references Generative vs Agentic AI as appropriate Write a GEM for writing lesson plans that include HITS and explicit teaching strategies and SOLO framework for assessment. You will then get learning plans that are Agentic, not generatic. Notebook - putting in the sources to then create lessons/units/assessments Be wary - ie keep the human in the loop by using a GEM to mark work, not generative AI (ie Gemini) Question - copyright licence when putting whole books into Notebook Workshop Two - A Minefield of Things in Gemini (Rachel Duckworth) Inside Google Chrome Read only in Google Chrome Create TAB groups Tabs vertically - instead of horizontally Send to my device - can send to phone Inside Google Docs docs.new - opens a new one customised building blocks - standardising forms, timetables etc esignatures - embed using tools Change the default font Add playwrite NZ as a font - more fonts Force copy - replace edit - or type in present if it is just for this Workshop Three - Teach More Human (Rachel Duckworth) (See Rachel's notes/slideshows)

CPPA Conference - Leading the Complexities of Change

Richard Gerver Ted Talks  - Finding A Higher Sense of Purpose A generation seeking the silver bullet.   No helping the mental health of our young teachers.  There is no silver bullet. AI.  Teaching young people to think critically to edit, and craft using AI.    Clever prompts and crafting/editing. Eric Schmit - CEO of Google (10 years). The greatest challenge I faced was our success.   When you have nothing to lose, you go at everything.  The more successful we became, the more we have to lose, the more protective we became.
