Keynote Discernment, Trust, Hope: How Human Values Shape Teaching & Learning in the Age of
AI With the widespread impact of generative AI (genAI) tools, educators across disciplines
face an urgent pressure to redesign their course policies, learning outcomes, in-class
activities, and assessments. For many of us, it all feels like too much. This interactive
keynote reframes our response to AI by revisiting what, why, and how we teach, and
how we build environments of curiosity and care with and for our students. Drawing
on Analog Inspiration, a card deck project featuring over 80 human values ranging from "accessibility"
to "wonder," we'll explore what it means to develop a human-centered AI pedagogy practice—one
that prioritizes human values, concerns, and skills. Through this lens, the session
will outline practical strategies for cultivating trust with students, making student
thinking visible, fostering intrinsic motivation, and strengthening the human relationships
that make learning meaningful. Participants will have a chance to engage with the
Analog Inspiration cards during the session, and will leave with concrete strategies
they can implement in their own classrooms. |
