Special: AI in teaching and learning

There’s so much potential for artificial intelligence and generative AI tools to support teaching and learning, but alongside these exciting opportunities there are challenges and risks. If you’re a teacher or a school leader, you may already be using or experimenting with AI tools – and you certainly won’t be surprised to hear that many of your students definitely are! Our guest for this special episode is Dr Katie Richardson, Senior Research Fellow at the Australian Council for Educational Research. We’ll be talking about 3 broad areas where AI can enable improvements in education, and what that might look like. Also, what the tools can and can’t do currently, or replace. And we’ll discuss how teachers need to be careful and purposeful in using the different AI tools out there with their students to promote thinking and learning.
