Welcome to the world of Artificial Intelligence—where innovation meets education! This route map is designed to guide you through the ISTE Expo Hall with a focus on AI tools, sessions, and exhibitors that will help you integrate AI in your teaching practice. Whether you're brand new to AI, just starting to explore its classroom potential, or already using a variety of tools, this curated route will introduce you to practical applications, spark new ideas, and connect you with tools that make AI accessible and meaningful for both educators and students.

To guide your own assessment of these technologies, consider what level of teacher training or support is provided to ensure educators can implement the tool effectively, even if they're new to AI. Also evaluate how the AI tool supports personalized learning while protecting student data privacy and complying with laws like FERPA and COPPA. Join in to explore the possibilities of AI in our classrooms—one stop at a time!
