Season 3 kicks off with a wonderful conversation with our guests Sheena Devlin, General Secretary of ADES, The Association of Directors of Education Scotland and Harriet Benbow, Principal Teacher and all-round digital practitioner and leader.
With AI being such a prevalent talking point in education circles, we explore the implications of AI in education, discussing its potential benefits and challenges, emphasising the importance of human connection, ethical considerations, and the need for a balanced approach to integrating AI into teaching and learning. They also highlight the necessity of preparing students for a future where AI plays a significant role, while ensuring that education remains a fundamentally human endeavour.
Join us as we dig deep into what AI means for education and how we can embrace it, as well as using our hard-won wisdom to see the bigger picture.
