One of the most encouraging outcomes from sharing my SXSW EDU proposal has been an invitation to continue the conversation with other educators: When AI helps, what thinking still belongs to the student? Originate. Decide. Revise. Defend. Voting ends Aug. 23: bit.ly/SXSWedu27

Someone responding to my SXSW EDU proposal asked how we can incorporate AI into STEAM “without losing the creativity.” That question has stayed with me. AI can assist, but students still need to originate, decide, revise, and defend. That’s the Agency Check. bit.ly/SXSWedu27

My SXSW EDU PanelPicker proposal is now open for community voting: The Agency Check: What Students Do While AI Works Voting is open August 5–23. Create or use a free SXSW ID, open the proposal, and click the heart. bit.ly/SXSWedu27 #SXSWEDU #PanelPicker #ArtificialIntelligence #StudentAgency

The Dark Side of the Moon: What I Learned Watching Artemis II
