Each speaker offered unique perspectives on the potential and challenges of implementing AI in educational settings. Their remarks were thought-provoking, encouraging us to consider how we might apply AI in innovative ways to improve learning outcomes while also contemplating the ethical, security, and access issues that arise with such technology. The conference provided me with a wealth of ideas and inspiration, reaffirming my commitment to leveraging technology to enhance education. It was an invaluable experience, and I am deeply grateful to all the organizers, speakers, and fellow attendees for their contributions. I look forward to future events and continued learning opportunities. Thank you once again for a truly outstanding conference.
AI in Education was a day full of ideas and inspiration. From Ethan Mollick rapidly changing our perspectives to a variety of practical speakers and informative panel sessions. Plus the networking meant I have some great contacts to help me on this AI journey
It was a privilege to attend this event and connect with a diverse group of professionals. It was enlightening to hear from educators from various schools across the country, each bringing their own unique insights and learnings to the table.
I learnt a great deal about generative AI. Discussions around the use, ethics and frameworks especially in education was thought provoking. The professional learning was fast paced with many speakers discussing their AI journey. Highly recommended
The AI in Ed Conference was not only useful, but also eye-opening. The speakers provided valuable tips and tricks for using AI in the classroom, as well as insights into how we use it and what this means for our world. The conference was well-organised and catered, and I liked the mix of teachers, university professors and visiting speakers – there was something for everyone! I will maintain communication with some of the speakers and delegates I met, and look forward to implementing some of the policies and practices at my school in WA.
The May 2024 AI in Education conference was an excellent event jampacked with learning opportunities. Not a ‘talking head’ in sight, just authentic classroom stories of how pedagogy is adjusting to AI. Refreshing and hopeful!
