In an era of algorithms, instant answers, and AI-generated content, helping students build authentic critical thinking skills has never been more essential or more complex. This session explores practical strategies for fostering curiosity, analysis, and thoughtful engagement across disciplines. Together, we’ll examine how to design assignments, discussions, and classroom experiences that go beyond surface-level thinking and encourage students to question, evaluate, and connect ideas in meaningful ways. You’ll leave with concrete techniques and a renewed sense of purpose for teaching in a tech-saturated world.
