    Common Ground Speaker Series: Helping Kids Thrive in the Age of AI

    Silicon Valley International School is a proud member of the Common Grounds Speaker Series, that offers informational webinars and talks for parents, faculty, and staff. Registration is free for member schools.

    Helping Kids Thrive in the Age of AI
    with the Authors of The Disengaged Teen
    ​​​​Featuring Jenny Anderson & Rebecca Winthrop
    Location: Zoom Webinar

    How will our students interact with AI – in the classroom and at home? We’ve learned from neuroscience that attention, cognition and learning thrive when there is belonging and connection. As more educational content is channeled through AI, we’ve yet to define its parameters to keep learning centered around teaching. Our speakers study and write about generative AI’s role in education and observe how it is poised to replace human connection as more youth turn to it for learning, companionship and therapy. Our speakers will share recommendations that define and support engaged learning in the age of AI.
