ACEL WA: Hot Topic - Beyond the Hype: Real Conversations on AI in Schools

 Register for an evening of connection and conversation at our ACEL WA Leadership Hot Topic Conversation: Beyond the Hype - Real Conversations on AI in Schools

Join us for a panel discussion where a group of leaders and educators delve into the topic of AI in schools and share their thoughts on big questions like:

• Is AI in education the next interactive whiteboard — or something fundamentally different?
• How do we separate genuine innovation from marketing spin when evaluating AI tools for classrooms?
• Is AI more likely to enhance teacher practice — or deskill the profession?
• Could AI help personalise learning — or will it reinforce existing inequities in opportunity and access?
• If AI in schools was truly working in 10 years’ time, what would that look like — and what would be missing?
