Upcoming Webinar - Your Brain on AI: Moving from Crutch to Catalyst

ericcurts — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 17:35:43 GMT

I am excited to be presenting a free webinar titled "Your Brain on AI: Moving from Crutch to Catalyst".

When students use AI, are they learning or just offloading?

As beneficial as AI can be, overreliance on it can hurt thinking skills, creativity, and understanding. How do we avoid this?

In this session we explore the 'Wrestle, Rap, Reflect' framework, a powerful, practical solution that keeps the human in the loop by requiring learners to engage their own brains before and after the AI interaction.

Students first wrestle with the content independently of AI, and then rap with the AI to enhance and extend their learning, and finally reflect on their use of AI to thoughtfully incorporate it.

See how to apply this framework to your existing lessons and content to integrate AI in a way that is responsible, meaningful, and transformative to student learning.
