In this episode, I chat with Dermott Morgan, an experienced PDHPE teacher and Instructional Coach Dermot shares how his school is embracing technology and AI to enhance teaching and learning, while also prioritising teacher wellbeing and work-life balance.
We dive into specific tools like Brisk and ChatGPT, and discuss strategies for using AI ethically and effectively in the classroom. This episode is packed with practical ideas and insights that all teachers can apply to save time, boost engagement, and prevent burnout.
Key Takeaways:
- Use tools like Brisk to quickly create quizzes, provide feedback, and differentiate learning
- Teach students about generative AI like ChatGPT - have a clear policy on ethical use, focus on powerful prompting
- Leverage AI to reduce teacher workload, not replace teaching - the goal is to have students do the heavy lifting
- Model vulnerability and a growth mindset with technology - get students involved in experimenting and learning together
- Prioritise teacher wellbeing by working smarter, not harder - shift the focus from teacher-centered to student-centered learning
- Collaborate with other schools and connect with online communities to stay up-to-date on the latest edtech innovations
