Shaping today's schools and classrooms

A Montréal private school has chosen to structure its approach to artificial intelligence to better prepare students for the complex choices they will face in the coming years. Grounded in an innovative framework that places ethical reflection at the centre of learning, the program extends well beyond technology alone. It provides students with a structured method for analysing, understanding, and questioning AI-related issues, equipping them to make informed and responsible decisions. The following overview highlights the key elements of this methodology.

Real-world examples tell the story.
As artificial intelligence becomes an everyday presence in schools, EdCan Network is inviting educators to join a new series of virtual roundtable discussions on how AI is shaping education.

Read on to learn more about the topics and how to participate.

Should young people really spend less time on screens? According to Quebec researchers, the solution lies in educating for more balanced screen use. A study conducted among 571 adolescents shows that they are aware of the negative effects of hyperconnectivity and willing to change—provided that adults listen to them. Instead of imposing rules, it is essential to include them in the discussion and focus on self-regulation, caring and meaningful alternatives.
