Feeling stranded on Exile Island, trying to survive the flood of AI apps, tools, policies, and teaching techniques? Do not get blindsided. This fast-paced session cuts through the noise with practical ways real teachers can navigate AI without losing sight of what matters most. Through classroom scenarios and examples, you will learn to make more intentional decisions about when, where, and why AI belongs in teaching and learning. Explore strategies for using AI to support planning, feedback, differentiation, and creativity while addressing academic integrity, student dependency, and critical thinking. You will leave with a toolkit of time-tested and tech-savvy strategies that protect critical thinking, preserve student ownership, and save teachers time, plus a practical framework for evaluating AI applications and deciding whether they genuinely improve learning or simply add more noise.
