Teaching and Learning with AI Conference

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming student life, from tutoring apps to AI companions, and with it come new ethical and relational challenges. The REAL Framework (Retained, Eroded, Atrophied, Leveraged) provides a practical model for evaluating how AI affects authentic human connection. This presentation equips educators to help students discern whether AI tools preserve or erode empathy, community, and ethical growth, while also identifying ways to leverage technology for the common good. Participants will explore classroom-ready applications and discussion tools that foster discernment, digital ethics, and the responsible use of AI across multiple disciplines. #ethics #REALframework #responsibleAI
