It was great to see a number of Adobe Creative Educator (ACE) Leaders and Innovators involved in the AI in Education Sydney event held at the NBN Discovery Centre on Friday 14th March.

The brainchild of NSW Educator Simone Hirsch, this event brought together some of Australia’s best EdTech thought leaders with educators from a range of sectors to discuss how to best integrate AI in education.

I was very proud to see ACE Innovators Brett Salakas & Matt Easterman hosting alongside Simone and ACE-Leader Dr Nick Jackson as one of the presenters.

This event marks the launch of a virtual Community of Practice that will convene for 10
sessions between March and August. This initiative will culminate in the publication of
a free AI in Education professional learning website, serving as a valuable resource for
educators worldwide.

Simone is a recent recipient of the a NSW Premier’s Teaching Scholarship: NESA Quality Teaching Recipient Unit Coordinator – Innovation. This event is a result of what Simone discovered during her travels as part of the scholarship.

It was great to have fellow Adobe Education team members Molly Turner & Kaitlin Hartley at the event.

During this event, Dan Bowen and his podcast partner Ray Fleming recorded lots of content for their AI in Education podcast. Both Brett Salakas and I were interviewed. I’m looking forward to hearing the results.
