Generative AI in the Classroom - Pushing Pause

Friday October 10, 2025 8:00am - 9:00am EDT

Penobscot

Let’s back up a couple of steps. Instead of jumping right into all the cool tools, do we know what genAI is? Are you an AI-aware educator? How is genAI affecting instruction in the classroom? Push pause for a moment and let’s talk about the challenges, possibilities, and how to leverage it to your advantage. We’ll tackle key conversations with students, set boundaries, and focus on how AI can enhance—not replace—thinking.

GenAI & Students: From Curiosity to Critical Understanding

Friday October 10, 2025 2:10pm - 3:10pm EDT

Penobscot

Many educators want to make sure that students are using generative AI in meaningful ways and not using it as a crutch. The emphasis should be on making sure that human intelligence is at the forefront. But how do we do this? What conversations should we have with students? This session aims to provide you with practical activities, scenarios, and strategies to use with students to help encourage them to use generative AI in a meaningful way.
