Hands-on Series

AI in Education is excited to launch a new series of ‘Hands-On’ sessions, designed to empower school staff to leverage AI in tackling real-world challenges. Building on the success of our SEND-focused sessions, which enabled SENCOs to explore AI solutions tailored to their needs, this initiative will now expand to include workshops for school leaders, administrative staff, teaching assistants, and teachers.
‍
Each session offers a practical and collaborative environment, allowing participants to experiment with AI tools, exchange ideas, and develop strategies to streamline tasks, enhance teaching, and improve school operations. By embedding AI into everyday practices, these sessions aim to cultivate a culture of innovation and effective problem-solving at every level of school life.

Cross-Sector & Independent

AI in Education is an independent, cross-sector body. It is composed of leading teachers in schools and colleges from all sectors and settings, as well as heads of each of the UK's examination boards. Their work is guided by a panel of independent digital and AI experts and a cross-party group of political advisers who will advise schools on which AI developments are likely to be beneficial, and which may be damaging.

We believe this collective initiative by schools, colleges and examiners will ensure that we can maximise the vast benefits of AI across education, while minimising the very real and present hazards and dangers.

Guarding Against Infantilisation

The greatest threat for teachers and pupils alike is infantilisation. Human beings are at their best when they are challenged and overcome those challenges. AI will make life easy and strip away learning and teaching — unless we get ahead of it.

Embracing Technology for Enriched Interactions

At best, technology will speed up heavy lifting and learning and free up teaching time so there can be more interpersonal contact such as debates, lectures, group problem-solving activities, arts and drama.

Navigating Virtual
& Augmented Reality

The concern is that young people will lose touch with reality, spending too much time interacting with AR and VR. As learning becomes more technological, their grasp of what is real and what is normal, what is true and untrue, will be progressively eroded.
