Learning in the AI Age: A Guide to Empowering Learners Through Exponential Change We should consistently be asking: What skills do our students need to master, and what knowledge will support their understanding of the world around them? Enter Artificial Intelligence. Yes, it can be used for lots of low-level tasks, but in this session we'll dive into a flowchart for AI empowerment--and how you can tap into this as a teacher and school leader.
Meaningful and Relevant: How to Engage Learners in an Age of Distraction In an age of distraction, we need to look at learning consistently through the lens of meaningful and relevant practices.
