SUMMARY:What Systems + AI Actually Enable Powerful K-12 Learning Designs (and Which Quietly Block Them) Webinar
DESCRIPTION:AI can make learning easier—but should it? If AI simplifies access to information\, explanations\, tutoring\, and test prep\, what should learning demand more of from students and teachers? \nIn this thought-provoking webinar\, leaders from Stanford’s Digital Media Academy and CoSN leaders explore how district systems and AI design choices can either raise expectations or quietly limit powerful learning. Looking back at 2025\, one lesson is clear: so-called “soft skills” like deep reading\, collaboration\, mentorship\, self-regulation\, and independent thinking have become hard requirements. \nListen to examine: \n\nHow AI can shift learning from busywork to problem-solving\, creativity\, and critical thinking\nWhy collaborative AI tools matter as much as individual support\nHow interfaces\, agents\, and dashboards shape engagement beyond the chatbot\nWhere trust\, ethics\, and transparency must guide system-level decisions\n\nThis session is for district leaders who want AI to amplify meaningful learning—not just automate it. \nPresenters: \n \nStacy Hawthorne\, Ed.D.\, CETL®\, CoSN Board Chair\, Chief Academic Officer\, Learn21 (OH) \n\nRichard Charles\, Ph.D.\, GSP\, Chief Information Officer\, Denver Public Schools (CO) \n\nGlenn Fajardo\, Chief Learning Officer\, Digital Media Academy (CA) \n\nJohn C Mitchell\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Computer Science\, Stanford (CA) \n  \nAll registered attendees will receive a recording of the webinar. \nAll live attendees will receive a certificate that lists your name (as it appears in our database)\, the event title\, the month and year\, and the Continuing Education Activity (CEA) credits earned. The recording link will include instructions on how to earn a certificate after watching the recorded session.
