The Process - we are in the formative stages of developing personalized AI Facilitators (or AGENTS) trained to optimize Creative and Critical Thinking (CCT). This is an ongoing process that in and of itself organizes and develops critical thinking. The Goal - Ultimately, the citizens of this ‘brave new world’ must first learn how to imagine and reimagine, think and rethink, and merge knowing and not knowing into an open-minded whole, always hungry to evolve their minds and their societies. Harnessing Sustainability: Integrating AI and XR for Eco-Friendly Education Mustafa Kemal Ambar1 1. Cyprus International University, Cyprus In today's rapidly evolving educational landscape, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and extended reality (XR) technologies has become increasingly prevalent, offering new avenues for innovative teaching and learning experiences. However, alongside the benefits of these technologies, there arises a pressing concern for their environmental impact, including issues related to production processes, energy consumption, and electronic waste. The proposed presentation, titled "Harnessing Sustainability: Integrating AI and XR for Eco-Friendly Education," aims to address this critical intersection of digital innovation and environmental stewardship within educational contexts. The presentation will explore how educators and technology enthusiasts can leverage AI and XR tools to promote sustainability and recycling practices in education through engaging discussions, interactive activities, and insightful presentations. Participants will delve into the environmental implications of digital technologies in education, examining current challenges and opportunities for integrating sustainable practices into instructional design and learning experiences. Furthermore, the workshop will feature innovative case studies and practical demonstrations showcasing sustainable approaches using AI and XR technologies. Attendees can brainstorm and develop eco-friendly projects utilizing recycled or repurposed materials, fostering hands-on learning experiences and creativity. Primary School Teachers’ Beliefs on the Use of Large Language Models in the Arts Konstantinos Mastrothanasis1, Panagiotis Alexopoulos2,Maria Kladaki3 and Apostolos Kostas4 1. National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece 2. University of the Aegean, Greece 3. University of the Aegean, Greece 4. University of the Aegean, Greece The present study explores primary school teachers' beliefs regarding Large Language Models, such as ChatGPT, in the arts field. These 'chatbot' applications can process language structures and generate text similar to a human's at high speed. Interest in these AI tools was reignited in November 2022, when OpenAI made the ChatGPT application available, attracting millions of users—a development that raised expectations in the educational and scientific community but also raised concerns about its pedagogical impact. Mapping teachers' beliefs is important as it will highlight potential obstacles, risks, and benefits of using such applications. Notably, the specific link between teachers' beliefs and the arts remains unexplored. Utilizing Ajzen's (1996) theory of Planned Behavior, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28 primary school teachers on the role of ChatGPT
