Montessori in the Age of AI with Amelia Cobb

Montessori in the Age of AI with Amelia Cobb

How can Montessori educators prepare children to approach AI with curiosity and discernment in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence?

As AI integrates deeply into learning, communicating, and understanding the world, our students must develop digital literacy to navigate this landscape effectively. This literacy extends beyond traditional skills, including the ability to question, analyse, and discern truth in an era where AI can obscure the line between fact and fiction.

In this session, we explore how AI does not replace human thinking but acts as a tool to enhance creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving. With intentional use, AI can empower children to think critically and innovate, using technology to create, communicate, and explore.

For Montessori educators, AI is a game-changer, streamlining administrative tasks and enriching lesson planning, allowing educators to focus more on what truly matters -inspiring and guiding our students. We must model thoughtful engagement with AI, teaching digital skills that students will need in the future.

Participants will engage with case studies from Montessori classrooms that demonstrate how AI aligns with and supports Montessori philosophy. This includes fostering self-directed learning and independence while cultivating critical thinking, creativity, and concentration skills. Through interactive activities, participants will discover practical AI tools tailored for Montessori settings, equipping them with strategies to leverage AI’s potential while upholding the core principles of Montessori education.

This event is aimed at Montessori educators, but anyone interested in encouraged to join.
