Join us for an extraordinary ACEL SA Hot Topic: AI is revolutionising the workforce... but should it revolutionise education?
Calls for systemic change in education are nothing new, but the rise of Generative AI has brought about a new sense of urgency for an 'Educational Revolution'.
The Tech Industry points to the benefits of personalising access to the world's information using this emerging technology. But as students, teachers and leaders increasingly delegate their cognition to machines, will we risk losing something inherently human in the pursuit of speed and efficiency?
This session will argue that educators need to reflect about both the form and function of Education as we respond to the challenges and opportunities that AI is bringing to our classrooms.
This will be an interactive session, with participants trialing AI tools that support students to think more about what they are learning... not less.
Bring a device and join the biggest conversation we are currently having in Education.
