SUMMARY:Future Ready or Future Reactive? Literacy\, Learning\, and AI by Design
DESCRIPTION:As many school systems strive to become “future ready\,” including preparing students for their future\, we must first clarify what we mean by literacy and meaningful\, accessible learning. This session begins with a definition of literacy grounded in participation and empowerment. From there\, we examine how literacy\, digital\, and artificial intelligence intersect with learning design: experience\, feedback\, assessment\, and evaluation\, and why those distinctions matter.&nbsp\;Rather than adopting AI reactively or rejecting it outright\, participants will explore how thoughtful learning design can ensure that technology strengthens rather than distorts accessible and instructionally effective practice.

SUMMARY:Activate Star Mode: Designing High-Impact Interactive Learning with Genially
DESCRIPTION:Are your course materials doing their job…or just sitting there looking important? If your content feels a little too static and not nearly interactive enough\, it’s time to activate Star Mode. Join James for an energetic\, hands-on session exploring how Genially can help you design interactive\, mobile-friendly learning experiences that spark curiosity and invite students to actually do something with your content.\n\n\nYou’ll see how to quickly create clickable\, animated\, and gamified resources that support active learning\, formative assessment\, and student choice across online\, hybrid\, and face-to-face courses. Along the way\, you’ll pick up practical design tips\, smart shortcuts\, and creative inspiration you can use right away. No coding required. Just thoughtful interactivity\, a dash of creativity\, and a whole lot of “ohhh\, I could use this in my course.”

SUMMARY:Shared Routines\, Stronger Teaching: EduProtocols for Pre-Service Teacher Learning
DESCRIPTION:This session explores how teacher preparation courses can use mobile-friendly EduProtocols to expose pre-service teachers to repeatable instructional routines that support active learning\, collaboration\, reflection\, retrieval practice\, and visual thinking. Rather than centering one specific platform\, the session focuses on flexible lesson frames that can be adapted into higher education learning experiences through common digital tools such as shared slides\, collaborative documents\, LMS quizzes\, Padlet\, and video conferencing tools.\nParticipants will consider how these routines might be used to help future teachers experience practical instructional strategies as learners while also thinking about how those same structures could transfer into K–12 classrooms. The emphasis is on providing adaptable ideas\, simple models\, and a practical way to introduce pre-service teachers to engaging instructional routines they may later refine and apply in their own teaching.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Your Brain on AI: Moving from Crutch to Catalyst
DESCRIPTION:When students use AI\, are they learning or just offloading? As beneficial as AI can be\, overreliance on it can hurt thinking skills\, creativity\, and understanding. How do we avoid this? This keynote offers the 'Wrestle\, Rap\, Reflect' framework\, a powerful\, practical solution that keeps the human in the loop by requiring learners to engage their own brains before and after the AI interaction. We will learn to move students from a passive 'crutch' mindset to an active 'catalyst' partnership\, ensuring AI builds intellectual agency\, not atrophy.

SUMMARY:Fragmented Policy or Coordinated Pipeline?: Educator Awareness of AI Governance and the Mississippi AI Collaborative Model
DESCRIPTION:Community colleges play a critical role in translating K–12 preparation into workforce readiness. However\, their ability to design responsive curricula and credentialing pathways depends heavily on the consistency and quality of upstream student preparation. This study examines how emerging AI policies in K–12 education are shaping that pipeline in Mississippi.\n\n\nDrawing on a statewide mixed-methods survey of K–12 educators\, the presentation discusses levels of awareness\, interpretation\, and classroom utilization of AI-related policies. Findings reveal a significant policy–practice gap: while AI policies are being introduced at state and district levels\, educator awareness remains uneven\, and implementation is inconsistent. Many educators report limited training\, unclear guidance\, and minimal alignment between policy expectations and instructional practice\, resulting in fragmented student exposure to AI concepts and tools.\n\n\nThese inconsistencies have direct implications for Mississippi’s community college system and broader higher education landscape. Uneven AI literacy among incoming students complicates program design\, disrupts alignment with industry needs\, and places additional burden on postsecondary institutions to remediate gaps in digital and technical competencies.\n\n\nTo address these challenges\, the paper situates findings within the broader ecosystem of the Mississippi AI Collaborative (MAIC)\, a community-driven initiative that integrates K–12 education\, educator training\, and workforce-aligned credentialing. MAIC provides a model for strengthening vertical alignment between K–12 systems\, community colleges\, and employers through coordinated\, scalable interventions.\n\n\nThis study contributes to ongoing discussions of AI governance and workforce development by emphasizing the need for cross-sector alignment. The Mississippi case demonstrates that effective AI policy implementation must extend beyond K–12 adoption to include intentional integration with community college systems and higher education pathways to ensure equitable\, statewide workforce readiness.

SUMMARY:Replacing the Traditional Textbook: Student-Created\, Continuously Revised Course Resources
DESCRIPTION:Traditional textbooks are often expensive\, static\, and quickly outdated—especially in survey courses like Music Appreciation. In response\, this session shares a practical model for replacing the traditional textbook with student-created\, continuously revised course resources. &nbsp\;\n\nUndergraduate Music Appreciation students research musical periods\, composers\, and representative works\, then author textbook chapters using iPad-centered workflows and Apple Pages. These resources include written explanations\, listening guides\, visuals\, and curated media designed for future learners. Rather than functioning as one-time projects\, each cohort begins the course using the previous edition of the student-created textbook. Students critically evaluate the material\, identify gaps or inaccuracies\, and revise or supplement the content\, resulting in a “living textbook” that evolves over time.\n\nThe session will examine the instructional design\, scaffolding\, and assessment practices that support this work\, including peer feedback\, revision cycles\, and alternative grading focused on growth and accuracy rather than points. Attendees will see examples of student-authored textbooks published on Apple Books and learn how this approach increases engagement\, improves accountability\, and significantly reduces costs for students.\nParticipants will leave with a transferable framework for implementing student-created course resources in their own disciplines\, along with practical strategies for managing revision\, quality control\, and sustainability over multiple semesters.
