Generative AI tools are becoming a fixture in schools, but for many educators, the challenge has evolved from initial exploration to sustained, meaningful integration. How do we ensure these tools support—rather than replace—essential human elements like curiosity, agency, and critical thinking?

Listen to an exclusive "Ask Me Anything" edWeb podcast driven by your priorities and featuring experts from Digital Promise—Dr. Kelly McNeil and Dr. Pati Ruiz—alongside library media specialist and Fulbright Scholar Dr. Patt Dennis. We structured this time as an open forum dedicated to your most pressing, unresolved questions about AI in education. While we look forward to sharing insights from the HP AI Teacher Academy’s newest modules—which may include discussions around fostering "AI literacy," designing assignments that prioritize process over product, or navigating complex issues around ethics and student data privacy—the conversation was ultimately be led by you.

Whether you are seeking practical advice for your specific grade level, searching for strategies to maintain student agency, or wrestling with the ethics of AI integration, we invite you to bring your real-world scenarios to the table. This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 teachers, librarians, school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders.
