This hands-on deep dive will invite participants to explore how AI can be used and discussed in schools to support critical thinking and learning, rather than simply a tool for answering. Across two days, we will examine how students and educators can use AI to research, draft, develop ideas, ask better questions, write effective prompts, and critically evaluate results with intention and responsibility. We will also engage with urgent ethical questions we are facing: the importance of media literacy in a world where seeing is no longer believing; the role of AI companions in students’ social and emotional lives; and the ways these systems can reflect, distort, or marginalize certain identities. Grounded in our school’s evolving experience of integrating AI into teaching and learning, this deep dive will create space for participants to reflect on their own contexts. Through discussions, practical frameworks, classroom observation, and collaborative reflection, participants will leave with strategies to support thoughtful, creative, and equitable AI use in their communities.

Este deep dive prático convidará os participantes a explorar como a IA pode ser usada e discutida nas escolas para apoiar o pensamento crítico e a aprendizagem, em vez de ser apenas uma ferramenta de respostas prontas. Ao longo de dois dias, vamos examinar como alunos e educadores podem usar a IA para pesquisar, elaborar rascunhos, desenvolver ideias, formular perguntas melhores, escrever prompts eficazes e avaliar criticamente os resultados com intenção e responsabilidade.
Também vamos abordar questões éticas urgentes que temos enfrentado: a importância da alfabetização midiática em um mundo em que ver já não é mais acreditar; o papel dos companheiros de IA na vida social e emocional dos alunos; e as formas pelas quais esses sistemas podem refletir, distorcer ou marginalizar determinadas identidades.
Com base na experiência em constante evolução da nossa escola na integração da IA ao ensino e à aprendizagem, este deep dive abrirá espaço para que os participantes reflitam sobre seus próprios contextos. Por meio de discussões, referenciais práticos, observação de sala de aula e reflexão colaborativa, os participantes sairão com estratégias para promover um uso mais consciente, criativo e equitativo da IA em suas comunidades.
