Join us for the 3rd annual Let’s Go Minnesota Summer Institute, hosted at American Indian Magnet School in St Paul, where we’ll embark on a journey of discovery and test the boundaries of teaching and learning with technology. This year, we’re thrilled to welcome Dave Blanchard, a learning architect, educational strategist, and Director of Online and Distance Learning at St. Cloud State University. 

AI can generate polished answers, explanations, and products in seconds, but the more important question is what kind of learner the experience is designed to build. In his keynote, Dave explores how educators can design learning that strengthens knowledge, judgment, connection, agency, and intellectual independence while using AI to expand access, feedback, and possibility. The future of learning will depend not on how quickly students reach an answer, but on whether learners become more capable, connected, and discerning along the way.
