Silos to Synergy: Building Community to Transform AI Fears into Classroom Cheers

Imagine transforming resistance to AI and siloed teaching practices into the driving force of innovation. This session, inspired by the AI Teaching Forum, invites faculty, instructional designers, and educators to leverage AI tools like AI avatars, videos, mind maps, and visuals to break down silos and transform curriculum design, lesson planning, and professional development. We'll address challenges like faculty resistance and fear of losing the human element in teaching. Through active learning, participants will gain actionable strategies to enhance engagement, critical thinking, and collaboration. This session is about building a culture of interdisciplinary collaboration where AI becomes a transformative partner in education. Let's innovate together - one AI tool at a time.
