Turnitin LTI 1.3 in Canvas: Supporting Student Writing in the Age of AI
How can Turnitin support stronger student writing—not just catch plagiarism? In this hands-on session, middle and high school teachers will explore how the Turnitin LTI 1.3 integration in Canvas can support the writing process, provide meaningful feedback, and promote academic integrity in the age of artificial intelligence.
Participants will experience Turnitin from both the student and teacher perspective through guided practice and live demonstrations. Teachers will learn how to create Turnitin-enabled assignments in Canvas, interpret similarity and AI writing reports, and explore feedback tools that support revision and growth.
The session will also introduce a process-over-product approach to writing pedagogy, emphasizing drafting, feedback, revision, and critical thinking in an era where generative AI is reshaping how students write and learn.
In this session, participants will:

• Learn how to set up and use Turnitin LTI 1.3 assignments in Canvas
• Experience Turnitin as both a student and teacher
• Explore similarity reports, feedback features, and AI writing detection tools
• Discuss best practices for supporting authentic student writing
• Consider instructional shifts that emphasize the writing process over the final product in the age of AI

This session is ideal for middle school and high school teachers interested in strengthening writing instruction while thoughtfully navigating the opportunities and challenges of generative AI.

How do we move students from simply completing assignments to owning their learning journey? Join this hands-on session to discover how Google Drive, Slides, and Vids can be transformed into dynamic digital portfolios for your 6th–12th grade classroom. Explore simple ways for students to curate their best work within organized Drive Portfolio Hubs, record video reflections to explain their thinking and track academic growth over time. We’ll focus on streamlined workflows that make digital archiving manageable for teachers and meaningful for students using the tools they already use every day. You’ll leave with a clear plan to help your students build a digital legacy they are proud to share with parents and peers alike.

Edpuzzle is no longer only an interactive video tool. In this hands-on session, you'll get a working tour of the full platform—Videos, Quizzes, Slides, Docs, and Student Projects—and see how each feature fits into the rhythms of your classroom. Learn when to reach for a Quiz over a Video, how interactive Slides can replace a static lecture deck, and how Docs let you deliver chunked, scaffolded reading with built-in comprehension checks and accessibility supports. We'll also look at how Student Projects flip the script by putting learners in the driver's seat as content creators. Dedicated work time is built in so you can start building in the feature that fits your next unit, with support on hand. You'll leave with a ready-to-use lesson and a clear sense of which tool to pull off the shelf for which job.

This session establishes a foundation for AI in K–12 by building a shared language and a "human-first" mindset. Participants will explore the current AI landscape through collaborative mapping, identifying high-value, low-risk use cases that streamline school workflows while prioritizing data privacy and accuracy.

Attendees will move from theory to action by co-creating responsible use norms and a personalized use-case map. By balancing time-saving automation with critical oversight, participants will leave with the practical tools and ethical frameworks necessary to lead intentional AI integration in their classrooms and offices.

What if students spent as much time creating with technology as they do consuming it? In this session, we'll explore effective strategies to integrate podcasting across subject areas, giving students opportunities to showcase their learning through creative expression. First, we’ll examine content, learning how to guide students in planning episodes that support inquiry and express their voice. Then, we’ll consider structure,exploring how organizing episodes, using formats like dialogue or interviews, can make content compelling and engaging. Last, we’ll examine form, discovering how music, sound, and cover art can convey tone and mood to create a cohesive, polished product.

Are you ready to move your students beyond the worksheet? Join us to explore how WeVideo can transform Your high school classroom.
