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
