From Hesitation to Innovation : My AI Journey to Empower Student Learning
FULL
Wednesday July 1, 2026 10:20am - 11:20am PDT
Sports Medicine (Room 153) - 1st Floor [CTEC]
Limited Capacity full
In this session, I’ll share how I moved from hesitation and uncertainty about AI to confidently using it in my classroom. Like many educators, I worried about dependency and its impact on real learning—until a pivotal webinar shifted my perspective. From there, I began experimenting, gradually turning AI into a meaningful learning partner rather than just a convenience tool. I’ll share real examples of how students use AI to brainstorm, revise, problem-solve, and reflect while still thinking independently. I’ll also highlight practical strategies, including AI-friendly assignments, clear expectations, and ways to address challenges like academic integrity. You’ll leave with ready-to-use ideas and prompts to help students use AI as a tool for growth, not just answers.
