THE KEY PODCAST - HOW AI CAN TRANSFORM YOUR TRUST Thanks to The Key Support Services for bringing this podcast interview to my attention today. During this podcast, Chris Goodall shared his thoughts, reflections and insights around the adoption of AI and technology within schools. It was encouraging to see that our views regarding AI / EdTech implementation are aligned. When it comes to the use of AI / EdTech, Chris asks the following questions:  ❓What existing challenges do you have in your schools?  ❓What are you trying to achieve? Once challenges have been clearly identified, Chris outlines the right technology to help match the challenges and demonstrates how AI can help to achieve that. The adoption of technology is therefore based upon it's ability to solve an existing problem within a school With regards to issues around AI, Chris stated that there is a real risk for students (and teachers!) to outsource their thinking to AI in education. Chris also explained how he ensures consistency and collaboration across the 26 schools by: 1️⃣ Initially growing the motivation and showing staff the real benefits of AI / EdTech. 2️⃣ Formalising the structures to support schools so that they can implement the AI / EdTech. I loved what Chris asks staff towards the end of his training sessions: ❓What are the next three things you will do as a result of this training and that will prepare for your next day? Once this has been established, Chris allows staff to work on them during the session. It's a 45 minute podcast that is well worth listening to (the link to podcast is in the comments). #AI #technology #professionaldevelopment 📅 16 Dec 2024 ____________ My name is Bukky.
