How do we ensure that we shape tools to learners rather than learners to tools? This workshop will answer that question by providing a whole-person response to modern AI based on the ideal of a convivial society. Assignment sequences that prepare students to respond to AI with maturity will be demonstrated along with conversation on how aspects can be applied to different disciplines.

Participants will leave with a plan to promote human flourishing in their classroom through the integration of character education and virtue formation with mature technology adoption.
