Boost Student Learning with Brisk Teaching

Brisk Teaching is one of my favorite educational AI tools which I have shared about often on this blog.

I usually refer to Brisk Teaching as the "Swiss Army Knife of AI Tools for Schools" because of all the things you are able to do with it from creating content, to generating feedback, to re-leveling text, to so much more.
In addition to all of those uses, recently Brisk added a new feature that is easily one of my favorites… Brisk Boost activities for students!
With Brisk Boost:

• Educators can create school-safe student-friendly "Boost" activities with customized AI chatbots that students can interact with.
• These can include chatbots for tutoring, chatting with a character, debating, brainstorming, exit tickets and more.
• And Brisk records everything typed by the student and the AI so you can review it and learn how best to support your learners.

Recently I had the pleasure to present a booth session at FETC on how to use Brisk Teaching for students. See below for the 25 minute recorded video of that presentation to learn all about creating Brisk Boost activities, the student experience, and the teacher experience.

👀 Brisk Overview
If you are new to Brisk Teaching - briskteaching.com - it is an AI-powered Chrome extension that allows educators to:

• Create a resource, exemplar, quiz, lesson plan, slideshow, etc.
• Generate feedback on writing
• Change reading level and language of articles and documents
• Monitor student writing process
• Create student AI chatbots

Brisk Teaching has a robust free version, as well as a paid premium version with even more features. Everything I cover in the video above is included in the free version.
To use Brisk Teaching you need to begin by installing the Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store. 


🎒 Brisk Boost Activities
With Brisk Teaching installed, educators can access any content they want to use with their students such as...

• Webpages
• YouTube videos
• Google Docs
• Slideshows
• Google Forms
• And more!

... and then click the "Boost Student Activity" button to generate an AI-powered personalized learning experience.
These AI experiences can include:

• Engage - Tutor, Hook, Character Chat, Debate, Inquiry, Brainstorm, Real-world Math
• Assess - Pulse Check, Exit Ticket
• Write (coming soon)
• Reflect (coming soon)

Students can then interact with the AI chatbot to explore and complete the learning activity, with the AI checking off learning objectives as the students meet them.
Brisk Teaching keeps a record for you of all the chat conversations your students have, so you can review it and learn how best to support your learners.
