The arrival of AI in our classrooms deeply challenges the way we teach and the way young people learn. 

How can we enable students to make the most of these new tools without giving up their critical thinking or intellectual autonomy?

This session aims to explore AI as an opportunity for co-constructing knowledge. Far from replacing personal reflection, AI can actually help young people learn and remember better by offering tailored explanations, reformulations, or differentiated exercises. But they must first be given the keys to use it critically and thoughtfully.

Through a few examples drawn from a teacher’s daily practice, this session will offer avenues for combining human and artificial intelligences, and for guiding students in developing their ability to think and analyze in the age of AI.

Through a concrete client case study, discover how the implementation and integration of a remote learning platform (Moodle ™ ) within an online training catalog promotion system (K·SUP) helps universities develop and professionalize their remote education activities.

Learning tools and techniques evolve alongside the generations of students who move through our classrooms. 

For several years now, digital tools have become part of students’ working environment—both at school and at home. However, the massive use of screens by young people and the recent rise of AI-powered “3.0” tools raise questions and concerns. How can we separate fact from fiction in what we read in the media or hear in the teachers’ lounge? Should digital learning tools be banned—or should we use them to teach and learn more effectively ?

This conference invites you to explore the so-called “technological revolution” in teaching tools. Through a scientific lens and based on recent research on the brain, we will examine the real impact of digital tools on student learning and explore how our teaching practices can evolve to better support student success.

ChatGPT writes, Copilot codes, Gemini analyzes… but what about our students? Can they still think for themselves?
As artificial intelligence makes its way into classrooms, training programs, and public policy, a paradox emerges: the more technologically empowered we become, the more we risk losing our intellectual autonomy.

Through concrete examples from academia and the workplace, this talk will examine the new balance between technology and reflection, automation and critical thinking. It’s an inspiring session for educators, policymakers, and trainers who want to make AI not a substitute for human thought, but a catalyst for collective intelligence and discernment.

Why attend this session?

• To understand how AI is reshaping our cognitive and learning capacities.

• To explore practical and ethical ways to integrate AI into education.

• To engage in a collective reflection on the place of human thought in an algorithmic world.

• To leave with actionable ideas to foster independent, critical, and responsible thinkers.

Back to school 2025: Artificial Intelligence is already here. Will cheating become more widespread in 21st-century schools? The simplicity, efficiency, and undetectability of AI make copying and pasting so easy that many students have been gripped by a feeling of omnipotence, and many colleagues by a sense of helplessness. When faced with AI, shouldn't we choose reason over fascination or fear, confrontation with reality over grand speeches, and pedagogy over inaction? Because if AI is perceived as a potential enterprise for the demolition of schools, particularly traditional assessment methods, then we must consider reconstruction. The Café pédagogique roundtable brings together teachers working to ensure that schools in the age of AI continually increase students' ability to discover, write, reflect, create, and share...
