Craft over Copy: The Learning Forge Model

n today’s AI-infused classrooms, the challenge isn’t access to powerful tools—it’s using them with purpose. The Learning Forge offers a practical framework that helps teachers build a culture of intentional, ethical, and empowered AI use. In this interactive session, participants will step into the forge themselves: exploring the model’s four zones (White, Blue, Green, Red), trying hands-on activities that highlight when and how AI should be used, and reflecting on how to protect the “craft over copy” mindset in their own classrooms.By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with ready-to-use strategies, classroom norms, and examples that shift AI from shortcut to spark—helping students strengthen their thinking, not sidestep it.
