Navigating the Age of AI
A Practical Guide
MON OCT 7 | 1-2pm
This session provides educators with an overview of AI's impact on teaching and learning, as well as practical suggestions for navigating AI in the classroom. In an era when generative artificial intelligence has become widespread, educators need to guide students on how to use AI as a tool to enhance learning—encouraging active engagement and critical thinking, instead of passive and uncritical word production. How can we foster ethical reasoning and open discussions around the responsible use of AI technologies?
