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.

I’ll share real examples of how students use AI to brainstorm, revise, problem-solve, and reflect while still thinking independently.

You’ll leave with ready-to-use ideas and prompts to help students use AI as a tool for growth, not just answers.
