Overview
This session reframes AI as a catalyst for deeper learning rather than a destination. Instead of treating AI outputs as finished products, the presentation shows how they can become prompts for inquiry, iteration, and critical thinking. Practical classroom examples illustrate how AI can support planning, differentiation, and formative assessment while keeping teachers’ professional judgement at the centre. Participants will explore strategies that build students’ capacity to question, evaluate, and extend AI-generated ideas, ensuring academic integrity and authentic learning. The session positions AI as the starting point for richer human thinking, creativity, and agency.
