In this session, we’ll move beyond the frustration of "chatbot-style" submissions and explore how to design assignments that prioritize the unique journey of middle school learners. You will discover how to use Gemini to scaffold complex projects into manageable chunks—like pitches, source checks, and reflection logs—that make it nearly impossible for a student to bypass the thinking process. By shifting the focus from the final product to iterative growth, you’ll learn to create assessments that capture authentic student voice and turn your role from a grader of papers into a coach of the learning experience.
