OVERVIEW Curiosity, questions, wonder - these human qualities serve as powerful drivers of learning in the age of AI. This modern era is changing at a breakneck speed, leaving educators to grapple with how to best prepare learners for their future. In light of that reality, inquiry is one of the human superpowers that will need special attention and cultivation for our current students. This is an era that students will need to hone in on what humans are good at so that they can then engage the technology in relevant and meaningful ways. Reminding us that it is the learning focus first and then the technological connections. The goal is for students to be perpetually learning, questioning and growing throughout this era of rampant change. Using inquiry methods will not only engage students in powerful thinking habits, but can also address student apathy and disengagement. During this session we will work to create a human focused learning environment leveraging the effectiveness of inquiry methods and technology. Specific classroom resources, unit plans and rubric will be shared. Note: This event will be recorded and available for later viewing.
