This Is Just a Warm-Up Act: The Biggest Transformation to Education Is About to Take Centre Stage
I am excited to share that I have contributed to the latest issue of the Teacher Learning Network Journal, where I explore the transformative impact of generative AI on education. In the article, I argue that this is not just another technological trend. It is the beginning of a significant shift in how we approach learning, teaching, and assessment.
