The pressures to adopt, resist and engage with educational technology can overwhelm even those most interested in the topic. We are often forced to react at speed to individual tools, such as Generative AI, without time to establish a process that truly helps us understand the full implications of using technology for learning. When we are asked or required to “defend” a position, it often becomes difficult to untangle our initial reactions to a tool with doubts or questions around the impact of these technologies. This session will be a spacious and inclusive discussion of how we might interrupt the race to adopt or reject and utilise reflection to create space to understand the implications of use and what it means for our learning and the learning in our communities.
We will begin with a set of questions currently used to support students in considering their approach to GenAI tools and explore how we might deliberately include reflection not as something to do “after” use but as a precursor to to it. The end of the session will see us beginning to collectively author our own reflective questions and think about where else they might be useful. After our time ends, we will continue our conversations in the Discord as an asynchronous exploration.
