MASSCUE 2026: SESSION HIGHLIGHTS & RESOURCES
FROM CATCHING CHEATERS TO COACHING CREATORS
Using AI to Cultivate Creativity, Curiosity, and Critical Thinking
At MassCUE Fall 2026, JFYNetWorks explored how educators can use Gemini tools in Google Classroom as an additional writing coach and Socratic tutor, helping students tap into their own thought processes, organize ideas, and compose drafts that reinforce skills learned in class.
This approach helps students build confidence and retain agency while keeping AI aligned with teacher-established learning outcomes.
