We’re poised at a stunning point in human history - the advent of generative AI. As writing teachers, we face a profound challenge: how do we evolve alongside this technology while protecting the integrity and creativity at the heart of our work?
Join authors Dennis Magliozzi and Kristina Peterson for an engaging and thought-provoking session based on her book AI in the Writing Workshop: Finding the Write Balance. They will guide educators through a practical and ethical framework for bringing AI into the classroom in ways that enhance, rather than diminish, students’ critical thinking and creativity.
Participants will explore ready-to-use lessons and prompts that weave AI tools into key writing units - personal narrative, poetry, analysis, and research - while preserving the essential process of human-driven writing. Learn how to help students become critical consumers and collaborative thinkers with AI, not passive recipients of machine-generated text.
Walk away with strategies to build your own confidence and competence using ChatGPT and other AI platforms, and discover new possibilities for engaging students in authentic, meaningful writing experiences. Be part of this historic moment, where human creativity meets technological innovation.
