Chisago Lakes High School business teacher Hannah Lindstrom \u201916, GS\u201921 recently returned to Bethel University to connect with other area business educators as artificial intelligence continues reshaping their classrooms. \u201cThe opportunity to network and collaborate with other Minnesota business teachers was a rare treat,\u201d Lindstrom says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lindstrom joined about 30 other middle and high school business teachers\u2014some alumni and some not\u2014who gathered for Teaching Business with Heart in the Age of AI, a symposium focused on helping teachers use artificial intelligence and technology thoughtfully in their classrooms.<\/p>\n

The focus stayed grounded in strong teaching\u2014clear expectations, thoughtful lesson design, and engaging assignments paired with hands-on learning that prepares business students for their college coursework and jobs after high school. Teachers shared ideas and reflected together through activities like speed networking for business education and an \u201cHour of AI\u201d session exploring how classroom lessons can stay connected to the realities of today\u2019s business world. \u201cThe research and methodology presented had an immediate impact on my classroom\u2019s success and reflection of real-world practices,\u201d says Lindstrom, who earned a business teaching license and M.A. in Teaching from Bethel.<\/p>\n
