Listen Later

Episode 207: In this episode of Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I’m joined by Dominic Bristow and Hannah Gillott to discuss the potential for meaningful use of AI in education. Together, we examine its promises, pitfalls, and practical applications for classroom settings.

We explore:

  • Whether AI has the power to genuinely improve teacher practice.
  • How schools and teachers can avoid falling for costly gimmicks and repackaged tools.
  • Key flags to watch out for when investing in AI solutions.
  • The areas where AI could offer the greatest gains in the next 18 months to 2 years.
  • If you’ve been curious about AI’s impact on education or want to navigate this space effectively, this episode offers insights that are both practical and forward-looking.
