  AI-generated content is everywhere, and it is often convincing. Students need more than "don't trust everything you read" to navigate it. This session builds real critical-thinking habits grounded in research, not reflexive skepticism, and gives you a structured fact-checking process to teach directly. Leave with classroom-ready strategies and language for talking with students about AI-generated misinformation. As a result of this session, teachers will: explain the research-based distinction between critical thinking and blanket skepticism; apply a structured fact-checking process to evaluate AI-generated content; and design a classroom conversation or activity that teaches students to fact-check AI-generated content independently. Fully participate to earn a certificate of completion.

  Custom Chatbots and Revised Assessments: Integrating AI Without Students Taking Cognitive Shortcuts

  Classroom teachers have seen how AI can save them time, help differentiate curriculum, and offer just-in-time support for students. Yet this technology also allows students to take cognitive shortcuts through the curriculum that educators have spent years carefully creating. Arpan Chokshi, a classroom teacher and instructional coach at Hinsdale District 86, shares practical strategies for designing teacher-facing and student-facing chatbots, revising assessments so students do the cognitive heavy lifting, training students to evaluate AI output, and writing a clear course AI-use policy. Live online or on demand (recorded for 30 days). Fees: PD365 members $199; non-members $248 (includes one year of membership); 2 people $238 each; 3 people $228 each; students/retirees $99.

  Teach Students to Think (Not Just Copy) With AI

  Students now have a tool that can write the essay, solve the problem, and summarize the reading before they have done any thinking of their own. Cognitive science is clear about what that costs: when we offload retrieval, productive struggle, and synthesis to a machine, we lose the very friction that builds durable understanding and transfer. But AI does not have to weaken thinking — used with intention, it can deepen it. Drawing on research in cognitive load, the generation effect, desirable difficulties, and metacognition, this session shows how AI can be designed into learning as a thinking partner instead of a shortcut. Participants will leave with a practical framework for assignments and classroom routines that use AI to make student reasoning visible, sharpen judgment, and prepare young people to think well in a world where answers are free and understanding is not. For educators, school and district leaders, and parents.
