Session Abstract
AI tools are everywhere. What should we, as history educators, do to help prepare our students for success in a world increasingly shaped by chatbots and image generators? Join the AHA's ad hoc Committee on AI in History Education for an opportunity to share an idea, assignment, policy, or model for assessment related to this question.
This session will feature three-minute presentations by 20 history educators working across a range of institutions--middle and high schools, 2- and 4-year colleges, as well as graduate programs.
In the lightning round format, participants submit a short description of their presentation during conference registration. During the session, they give a timed, three-minute talk about how they help their students engage ethically with AI. Then, the organizers will create discussion groups around key questions and issues related to AI in the classroom. These groups are designed to help attendees make connections with other educators at different institutions.
Given the level of interest in this session, we encourage those who wish to present to register in advance. Graduate students and early career educators are especially encouraged to present.
