AI and Creativity (What helps, what hurts, and what to do about it)

A short series of provocative, moderated mini-activities resulting from my research—adaptable for any learning community—invites participants to explore in real time where and how creativity is boosted, shaped, or even limited through the use of AI in the classroom. Together, the group examines moments when AI genuinely enhances imaginative thinking, as well as situations where it may unintentionally narrow possibilities or reduce original thought.
