Engagement Strategies Throughout the Session
Peer-to-peer interaction: Regular group discussions, idea exchanges, and feedback rounds.
Device-based activities: Quizzes, polls, deepfake analyses, and collaborative digital tools (Padlet, Canva, Jamboard).
Games/contests: “Real or Fake” challenge and ethics card dilemmas.
Hands-on creation: Drafting guidelines, designing avatars, and planning digital campaigns.
Reflection moments: Individual journaling and collective debriefs to connect learning to classroom practice.
After this session, participants will be able to design and implement student-centered projects that integrate AI literacy, ethical decision-making, and digital citizenship into the curriculum. They will learn strategies to help students critically evaluate misinformation, co-create responsible technology guidelines, and produce creative digital campaigns that promote ethical AI use in real-world contexts.
