Teaching with AI is Teaching AI

​This session explores the dual nature of AI in the classroom: as a powerful tool for educators and as a subject students must learn to navigate critically. The participants will have the room to reflect on creative thinking as an integral part of the teaching process that's irreplaceable by AI.

​A key focus is the importance of 1:1, human-centered learning. While AI can automate many tasks, the personalized, human-to-human connection remains the most vital component of effective learning. The session focuses on how AI can free up educators to spend more time on individual interactions—rather than replacing them.

​Who this is for:

​Educators who want a well-rounded perspective on AI in the learning process, including:

• ​Teachers and tutors

• ​Methodologists / instructional leads

• ​Academic coordinators and school administrators

​Potential questions to explore:

• ​How can educators use AI as a teaching tool while also teaching students how to engage with AI critically?

• ​What are the most important beneficial and negative aspects of AI use in education?

• ​Why does human-to-human learning and creativity remain essential in an AI-enabled classroom?
