We explore what authentic learning means in a world that is constantly changing and discuss not only how AI can be used as a tool to enhance human creativity, but also how humans must develop their own unique voice and divergent thinking skills to stand out from AI-generated content. John shares his vision for the intersection of technology and creativity as well as how students can leverage AI as a tool for creating, collaborating, and solving problems. Tune in to hear more about John’s insights and experiences with AI and education. Link to slideshow/resources: ⁠http://johnspencer.generativeage.com

Join us for this session of Generative Age, featuring Carl Hooker. Carl’s recent book, Ready, Set, Fail, serves as a crucial reminder of the necessity for risk-taking in the ever-advancing world of generative AI. Students don’t take risks if teachers don’t take risks. Teachers don’t take risks if leaders don’t take risks. Without this willingness to embrace failure as an invaluable learning resource, creativity and innovation become hindered. With generative AI being a new frontier for all, it is vital that we collectively welcome the concept of risk-taking, facilitating our shared learning and growth.
