Key presentation & workshop topics:

For teachers

  • Teaching in the Age of Generative AI (Building confidence, capability and critical understanding)
  • Using AI to Enhance, Not Replace, Learning (Designing learning experiences that keep students thinking)
  • Rethinking Assessment in the Age of AI (Making learning, thinking and authorship visible)
  • AI as a Partner in Creative Teaching and Learning (Using generative AI to inspire ideas, creativity and engagement)
  • Preparing Students for an AI-Rich World (Developing critical, creative and responsible users of AI)

For non-teaching school staff

  • Working Smarter with Generative AI: Foundations for School Staff (A practical introduction to generative AI for the people who keep schools running)
  • AI for Everyday Communication: Writing Smarter, Not Harder (This practical workshop explores how generative AI can accelerate these tasks while preserving the school’s voice and the human sensitivity required when communicating with families, colleagues and the wider community)
  • Time-Saving Automation with AI (Move beyond one-off prompts to repeatable workflows. Staff learn to identify the recurring tasks that drain their week and design AI-assisted shortcuts they can reuse)
  • From Meetings to Action: Using AI for Notes, Minutes and Follow-Up (This practical workshop explores how generative AI can support each stage of the meeting process, from preparation and documentation to action tracking and follow-up, while maintaining privacy, accuracy and human oversight)
  • Making Sense of School Data: AI-Assisted Analysis and Reporting (This accessible, hands-on workshop explores how AI can support work with operational data without requiring advanced spreadsheet or data-analysis skills)
  • Creating Visual Content Without Design Skills (A workshop for the staff who end up making the posters, flyers, social posts and slides without a design background. Practical tools, smart shortcuts and brand-safe outputs, using Adobe Express, a free-for-schools tool similar to Canva)
  • Working Smarter with PDFs: Making the Most of Adobe Acrobat (PDFs are everywhere in school administration: permission forms, policies, invoices, reports. This session unlocks the full toolkit so staff can edit, combine, secure and share PDFs with confidence)

For students

  • AI Explorers: Using Generative AI Safely and Wisely (for Years 5 to 8) This interactive introduction helps younger students understand what generative AI is, how it creates responses and why it should not always be trusted.
  • Prompt Detectives: Asking Better Questions of AI (for Years 5 to 8) In this practical workshop, students become “prompt detectives” as they experiment with different ways of asking questions, adding context and refining instructions. The emphasis is not simply on getting an answer, but on thinking carefully about what they are asking and critically evaluating what the AI produces.
  • Who Made This? Creativity, Ownership and AI (for Years 5 to 8) This workshop helps students understand the difference between generating content and creating something of genuine value. They consider how AI can support a creative process while ensuring that their own ideas, decisions and voice remain central.
  • Helpful Tool or Harmful Shortcut? (for Years 5 to 8) Through realistic school scenarios, students examine where responsible support ends and inappropriate use begins, recognising that the purpose of learning, not simply the technology being used, should guide their decisions.
  • The Human Advantage: Navigating an AI-Rich World (for Years 9 to 12) This workshop examines the more complex ethical, academic and social questions surrounding AI. Students consider how to use these tools productively while protecting their independence, integrity, privacy and distinctly human capabilities.
