WY TeacherCon 2026

As AI becomes more capable, educators are being asked to rethink what students should know, do, and become. While AI can generate ideas, summarize information, and solve problems, it cannot replace the human capacities that shape learning, relationships, judgment, and meaning-making. This session explores the interplay between artificial intelligence, hybrid intelligence, relational intelligence, and human judgment. Participants will examine questions of cognitive offloading, academic integrity, privacy, and student development while considering how schools can cultivate the skills and dispositions that matter most in an AI-rich world.
