Inquiry Empowered: Rethinking Research in an AI Era
Is AI changing how your students approach research? In this engaging and interactive session, we will explore the evolving landscape of research, craft sharper questions, discover AI-powered trustworthy sources, and run credibility checks—all while maintaining equitable access for every learner. Together, we’ll build an “AI Integrity” checklist, curate a ready-to-use toolkit, and leave with the confidence to lead ethical and engaging inquiry in any classroom.
