Hi Vanessa,

Thank you for your detailed response. I am keen to keep learning more as well. Do you know of teachers who are experiencing this in their practice? “When used well” is a key phrase- I wonder if many teachers find themselves well equipped to use AI so that is remains a tool for themselves as well as for the students rather than becoming a slave to it?

I’m on the lookout for some good examples and hope to write more about it.

Amazing! Looking forward to reading and learning more from you. I’ve got my feelers out too and will let you know if I learn about examples.

Hi Vanessa,

AI seems to be in my orbit very prominently today! I have had a discussion today with a friend about it today as well as with colleagues. Can you please expand on how AI offers more time for teachers to teach the “human skills”? An example might help me understand this better. Thank you!

From what I have read (and I’m keen to know more) AI will free teachers up from preparing basic skill lessons and more time to be creative and engaging with how the content is delivered. If used well it should allow the teacher more time to read social cues and be more present for the students, teaching them motivation, resilience and problem solving. Collaborating could be used in better ways too, which is a very important skills often forgotten in skill based classrooms.
