Description

Blocking AI tools won’t stop misuse—it just drives it underground. Instead, teaching students how these tools work and the ethical choices involved empowers them to use AI thoughtfully and responsibly. This session offers practical strategies for integrating AI into instruction in ways that encourage transparency, build critical thinking skills, and reduce academic dishonesty. You’ll leave with ready-to-use classroom resources that help students understand the role of AI in learning and provide the support they need to stay engaged and make ethical choices.
