Kelly Aycock and Leslie Fagin, Instructional Technology Coaches at Griffin-Spalding County Schools, shared during a breakout session at Georgia Educational Technology Consortium (GaETC) that teachers report saving hours every week, students are building AI literacy skills, and district leaders have a clear path toward compliance and innovation.
The Challenge
Griffin-Spalding’s instructional technology team wanted to get ahead of the federal AI literacy requirement. But they faced three immediate challenges:
- Student safety: Public AI tools risk exposing students to disinformation and unsafe content.
- Teacher workload: Educators were already stretched thin—adding a new platform couldn’t add new burdens.
- District readiness: Any solution had to be compliant, easy to deploy, and adaptable to local needs.
“Knowing that our children have access to AI scares me because of what’s out there. With TrekAi, I know they’re getting something that keeps them safe and helps them learn the right way.”
— Leslie Fagin, Instructional Technology Coach, Griffin-Spalding County Schools
The Solution: TrekAi’s Unified Ecosystem for Learning
Griffin-Spalding implemented TrekAI’s all-in-one AI platform for schools, designed around four key pillars that support every district stakeholder—from teachers to administrators to families.
- A Unified Ecosystem
TrekAI streamlined the district’s approach to AI, bringing teaching tools, student interactions, and learning supports together in one secure platform.
"Implementing new technology can feel overwhelming, but Trek made this experience smooth, seamless, and energizing.” -Kelly Aycock, Instructional Technology Coach, Griffin-Spalding County Schools
Impact: Teachers could easily experiment, collaborate, and collect insights—all in one place.
- Personalized Learning
Students quickly adapted to TrekAI’s conversational guidance. Teachers saw curiosity grow as learners began to ask deeper questions, think critically, and use AI as a learning partner.
“They’re discovering new ways to personalize learning, support struggling students, and enrich lessons for those who need an extra challenge.” -Kelly Aycock
Impact: TrekAI met students where they were—boosting confidence, creativity, and academic engagement.
- More Time for What Matters
Teachers found TrekAI’s classroom integrations saved hours each week on lesson planning, differentiation, and grading. That time is now spent connecting with students and refining instruction.
“Trek helps them save valuable time—time they can redirect toward what truly matters: building relationships with their students.” -Kelly Aycock
Impact: Educators feel empowered, not replaced—free to focus on teaching, not paperwork.
- Measured Impact
With built-in insights, Griffin-Spalding can now see what’s working across schools—from engagement trends to teacher adoption.
“As a district, we’re seeing how AI can enhance—not replace—the human connections that make education powerful.” -Kelly Aycock
Impact: The district can scale confidently, with visibility into both teacher outcomes and student growth.
Results: A Partnership That Delivers
- District enthusiasm: Teachers across all schools are requesting TrekAI access after seeing pilot success.
- Teacher empowerment: Educators feel supported, creative, and in control—not replaced by technology.
- Student readiness: Learners are developing AI literacy and critical-thinking skills for a changing workforce.

“I want our students to be safe when they’re online while using A.I. We can’t hide them from it. With Trek, I know that they’re getting something that’s going to keep them safe and at the same time allow them to learn the way that I want them to learn.” - Leslie Fagin
- Responsive partnership: TrekAI’s team addressed feature requests within days, reinforcing trust and collaboration.
