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.
