As artificial intelligence increasingly shapes the educational landscape, teachers need practical, reliable frameworks to navigate this technology safely and creatively. Developed using resources from the collaboration between Apple and Common Sense Media, this fast-paced, 45-minute interactive session is designed to demystify AI fundamentals for educators.Participants will explore core AI concepts tailored specifically for educational contexts and examine Apple’s suite of built-in AI tools. Rather than just discussing the theory, educators will interact with a values-based evaluation framework to determine which AI tools are appropriate, ethical, and beneficial for their students. Ultimately, teachers will leave the session with the foundational knowledge needed to begin drafting their own practical classroom AI implementation guide, ensuring professional judgment and human-led instruction remain at the center of the learning experience.

Have you ever wrapped up an amazing classroom moment and thought, "I should've recorded that?" This session explores practical and ethical strategies for capturing meaningful classroom content while protecting student privacy. Participants will examine real examples, workflows, and tools for documenting learning responsibly and intentionally.

The Ed Farm Student Fellows are taking over, and you definitely want a front-row seat. We’re hosting a Student Takeover session that starts with a celebration of our recent challenge based learning experiences, followed by a live panel with the minds behind the community impact created this year. Our Student Fellows will be discussing "Solving Community Challenges through Tech," and they aren't holding back. Expect honest stories about the roadblocks they faced, some serious myth-busting about Gen Z and tech, and their unfiltered takes on AI and digital accessibility.

Curious about machine learning but not sure where to start? In this hands-on session, you'll use everyday objects to build your very own image classifier — right on iPad, no coding experience required. Along the way, you'll explore the fundamentals of ML, discover how it shapes the apps and world around us, and learn how to design intelligent experiences using Apple's ML technologies.
