I piloted a smart board in the early 2000s. Did it do more than my chalkboard? Yes, but I still needed to know my students. Relationships are often the solution to real challenges. If AI can make more space for teacher-student relationships in the learning process, that’s an unquestionable good.</p><p><strong>Hue-An Wren: How can we use AI to create student-centered practices?</strong></p><p>This technology gives us the opportunity to shift away from outdated teaching practices that no longer serve today’s students and better prepare them for the future. Student-centered learning allows us to guide all learners at the pace they need and want, and AI can help us overcome existing hurdles so that we can move toward a more personalized learning experience.</p><p>AI tools have already proven useful for improving teacher productivity and fostering student creativity.

This progression should also include real-world scenarios and design thinking projects where students build AI tools using code.</p><p><strong>Hannah Davis Ketteman:</strong> As we dive head-first into a future where generative AI answers our questions, our students — though tech-savvy — often overlook what happens behind the scenes, such as where their data goes and who owns it. While AI is useful, it’s important to remember that these interactions are driven by data and lack empathy, compassion and human understanding. As information increasingly becomes currency, we must stay mindful of our humanity, knowing that our values and connections truly make us whole.</p><aside class="aside-image"><figure class="aside-full-width figure-image"><img src="https://edsurge.imgix.net/uploads/photo/image/11106/Hannah-1729359761.png?w=240&h=240&auto=compress,format&fit=crop&blur=10&px=4" srcset="" sizes="240px" alt="" title="" data-aspect-ratio="square" data-image-fit="crop" data-image-pad="null" data-image-bg="fff" class="lazyload" data-srcset="https://edsurge.imgix.net/uploads/photo/image/11106/Hannah-1729359761.png?w=120&h=120&auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=crop 120w,https://edsurge.imgix.net/uploads/photo/image/11106/Hannah-1729359761.png?w=240&h=240&auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=crop 240w,https://edsurge.imgix.net/uploads/photo/image/11106/Hannah-1729359761.png?w=480&h=480&auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=crop 480w"><figcaption>Hannah Davis Ketteman<br>Digital Learning Coach, Temple ISD</figcaption></figure></aside><p>Schools need to create intentional, acceptable use policies and explicitly teach students about data privacy, digital citizenship, technology biases and the power of critical thinking.

They observe teachers using AI for lesson planning, providing feedback and generating project ideas. This raises a question of fairness: If teachers rely on AI, why can’t students? It prompts educators to personalize AI-generated content and foster an open dialogue on AI use. It’s exciting to see students eager to engage in these conversations.
