Description:

How do we teach well when AI is everywhere? Join us as we review current AI capabilities while focusing on what matters most: our pedagogical goals and student learning. We'll move beyond reactive fixes ('How do I prevent ChatGPT on this assignment?') to intentional pedagogical design. Together, we'll explore: 

-- When AI tools genuinely support our learning objectives—and when they undermine them 
-- How to make purposeful choices about integrating, limiting, or reimagining assignments 
--- Strategies that center human connection, critical thinking, and meaningful learning 

This isn't about either policing AI or adopting every new tool. It's about reclaiming pedagogical agency in a rapidly shifting landscape and making choices aligned with our teaching values and our students' growth.
