Tired of spending hours researching for lessons while drowning in unreliable sources? This three-part Knowledge Booster series will transform how you research, plan, and create lessons. You’ll receive a free, one-year TCEA membership for each participant ($49 value), and earn three CPE hours for hands-on learning.
🚀 Part 1: Perplexity 101 — Your New Research Assistant
Kickstart your AI research workflow with Perplexity’s cited, multi-source answers. You’ll set up an account, learn the interface, run a classroom-ready search, and practice verifying citations—so lesson planning shifts from hours to minutes while preserving academic integrity.
🚀 Part 2: Exploring Your Workflow with Spaces & Pro Tools
Go from “great results” to “great systems.” Build a shared Space for your current unit, organize past searches, collaborate with a colleague, and—if you have Pro—upload docs to ask targeted questions. You’ll leave with a repeatable research hub your team can use all year.
🚀 Part 3: Bringing Perplexity into Your Classroom
Translate tool skills into student learning. Design a “Fact vs. Fiction” activity with cited answers, generate differentiated materials, and introduce responsible AI use (e.g., TRACE/”Source Detective”). Finish with a mini 5E plan and a ready-to-run classroom task.
