Source Code Session #20: Beyond AI Tools: Teaching About AI, Not Just With AI
LIMITED
Wednesday July 15, 2026 10:30am - 11:45am EDT
SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics Building (GSSM)
Limited Capacity seats available
In this session, I will invite educators to think about AI as more than a classroom tool. Instead of focusing only on prompting or productivity, we will explore AI literacy as a way to help students ask questions about ethics, bias, decision-making, civic life, and real-world systems. Using examples from English and interdisciplinary teaching, I will share practical strategies such as case studies, discussion prompts, short inquiry tasks, and values-based reflection. The goal is to help teachers move from general concern about AI to concrete classroom practice. Participants will leave with a clearer framework for teaching about AI, not just teaching with AI, and they will be ready to extend that work in the afternoon workshop.

After engaging in this session, participants will (or will be able to)...
· define AI literacy as more than tool use or prompt-writing
· explore classroom-ready strategies for discussing AI, ethics, bias, and social impact
· identify a place in their own curriculum where AI literacy fits naturally
· create or adapt one resource they can bring back to their students

Expansion Pack Session #20X (Part 1): Beyond AI Tools: Teaching About AI, Not Just With AI
LIMITED
Wednesday July 15, 2026 1:15pm - 2:30pm EDT
SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics Building (GSSM)
Limited Capacity seats available
The afternoon workshop will be hands-on and product-based. After a short recap and model, participants would choose an existing lesson, text, unit, or topic from their own classroom and use a simple planning template to adapt it into an AI literacy resource. I will provide a small menu of sample case studies, guiding questions, and activity structures so teachers can either build from scratch or revise something they already teach. Most of the workshop will be devoted to drafting, conferring, and peer feedback, with time at the end for revision and sharing. The goal is for every participant to leave with at least one usable product—a discussion protocol, mini-lesson, case-study activity, assessment, or short inquiry sequence. If the participants stay for the entire  three hours, participants will expand their product into a fuller mini-unit; if they stay for 90 minutes, the focus will stay on one strong classroom-ready resource.
