Online Summit
Unmasking AI, Tech and its Place in the Classroom
29 January 2025 | 12:30pm-4:00pm GMT | Online | FREE
Join us for the first in our series of online summits, where we explore the transformative potential of AI and emerging technologies in creating neuroinclusive classrooms. Alongside exploring these advancements, we’ll critically examine the ethical dilemmas and risks they present.
As AI evolves at an unprecedented pace, it opens up exciting possibilities for revolutionising teaching and learning—offering the potential for more personalised, accessible, and inclusive education.
However, its application in schools is still in its early stages, sparking both enthusiasm and apprehension. This is particularly evident in SEND education, where AI has the potential to meet diverse learning needs but also raises significant questions about equity, privacy, and practical implementation.
This summit provides an opportunity to explore how AI can foster inclusive and adaptive learning environments, offering valuable insights into leveraging these tools to enhance outcomes for neurodiverse learners, while navigating the complexities of their adoption in the education sector.
