In this professional development session, educators will explore the fundamentals of problem-based learning (PBL) and discover how artificial intelligence (AI) can significantly enhance its impact. Participants will start by gaining a clear understanding of PBL, its essential components, and how it encourages student-driven inquiry and real-world problem-solving. The session will also cover strategies for aligning PBL activities with state standards to ensure rigorous and relevant learning. Educators will then learn how to leverage AI tools to streamline the creation of PBL scenarios, making them more engaging, personalized, and adaptable to diverse student needs. By the end, teachers will have practical knowledge of how AI can optimize PBL, resulting in deeper learning experiences and more effective classroom implementation.
