We've all heard countless talks about using AI to create academic material. This session instead explores practical ways language educators can adapt existing paper-based materials using AI tools. By digitizing and adapting familiar worksheets, teachers can create level-appropriate, interactive versions that better meet students’ diverse needs without starting from scratch.
We’ll walk through examples of how large language models can simplify, extend, or differentiate worksheet content, and discuss what this means for curriculum design, accessibility, and teacher autonomy.
In this session, I will demonstrate how teachers can use AI to:
- Scan or upload an existing worksheet
- Deconstruct the worksheet into its functional components
- Render the content into an editable format
- Revise and differentiate the worksheet through a combination of prompting and manual editing
The emphasis is on adapting existing materials rather than generating new ones from scratch, with workflows that teachers can implement independently.
