About This Webinar

This 60-minute session explores one of the most pressing and least visible challenges AI brings to education: cognitive offloading. As we increasingly rely on AI to write, reason, and problem-solve, the cognitive muscles that come from genuine struggle, original thought, and independent judgment can go unpracticed. Participants will examine what the latest research says about AI's impact on student cognition, reflect honestly on their own relationship with AI, and leave with concrete strategies to design learning experiences that keep students doing the essential work of thinking.

Join the AI and Education Community!

Join the team from the AI Educator Brain, which includes AFT’s Share My Lesson director Kelly Booz; New York City Public Schools teacher Sari Beth Rosenberg and EdBrAIn, our AI teammate (yes, it named and designed itself!). In this community, we will dissect the pros and cons of AI tools in education. Our mission: to determine how AI can support teaching and learning, and when it might be best to stick with tried-and-true methods.
