AI Sprints – Episode 3
If you have ever found yourself somewhere between curiosity and caution when it comes to AI in education, this is the episode for you.
Episode 3 of AI Sprints brings together two expert guests for a fast-paced and thoughtful exploration of what AI truly means for teachers, pupils, and the systems we work in. Join Dr Jon Chippindall, former teacher and founder of TeachMateAI, and Laura Knight, strategist, trainer, and author of Generative AI in the Classroom, as they share insights, real-world experiences, and practical tools for using AI both responsibly and creatively in schools.
Highlights include:
-
Why we must “think with care” when using AI – and what that looks like in practice
-
A live demo of TeachMateAI: from lesson planning to personalised learning in seconds
-
What “glazing” is and how it may be affecting the tone of your AI tools
-
How digital literacy, critical thinking, and ethical AI use must begin now – not when policies eventually catch up
-
Practical ideas for supporting students with special educational needs using AI tools
-
A candid discussion of risks: hallucinations, synthetic intimacy, data privacy, and why clear policy is essential
From demystifying terminology and exploring safeguarding to understanding large language models and developing a trusted AI toolkit, this session does not shy away from the complex issues—and leaves you better equipped to reflect and respond.
“Engagement without intention is noise. But engagement with care? That is where learning thrives.”
