Embracing the opportunity ahead, responsibly
We believe the promise of AI in education can only be achieved by developing it responsibly. One essential facet of this is doing so in close partnership with the entire education ecosystem. When my team and I met with Damian Harvey, Interim Head of C2k, he emphasized this point. He shared that the pilot’s success was accelerated by a collaborative group of teachers sharing their learnings with each other, as well as the need for resources to train and support further development in AI readiness.
“I believe educators need to embrace the opportunity,” said Damian Harvey, Interim Head of C2k.
Following the success of the pilot, C2k plans to roll out Gemini training to more teachers across Northern Ireland. We believe this is just the beginning. We hope to continue exploring partnerships like this, learning directly from the teachers who use the technology how to best align products with proven pedagogical principles , and how to effectively integrate the technology to improve learning outcomes for students.
As we continue to navigate the shift toward AI in learning, it’s critical that our products empower educators, not replace them. Teachers must maintain ownership over how AI is used to help their students learn. As I’ve often said: technology isn’t magic, teachers are.
