EdTech for Innovation 2025
Friday July 25, 2025 12:50pm - 2:20pm PDT
In an age where AI-generated images and media shape how young people perceive themselves and others, it's critical for educators to understand the biases embedded in these technologies. This interactive session explores how generative AI can distort and reinforce stereotypes around beauty, race, gender, and identity—issues especially relevant to teens navigating identity and self-image. Participants will engage in hands-on activities designed to unpack AI's influence and walk away with adaptable classroom strategies that promote critical thinking, inclusivity, and digital literacy. Empower your students to question what they see—and imagine a more just and representative future.
