About this event

With Google’s bold shift making Gemini and NotebookLM opt-out only for under-18s, schools are no longer passive recipients of AI, we’ve been handed permission to innovate.

This free webinar unpacks what that means: from shaping smarter classrooms to designing AI use on our terms. It’s a chance to move from policy to pedagogy, and explore how we teach forward into a future where generative tools support creativity, efficiency, and deep learning.We’ll share practical strategies, provocative questions, and real classroom use cases.

Expect prompt engineering with purpose, insights into student readiness, and examples of genius moments where teachers and learners thrive because of AI, not despite it.

This is the moment to stop reacting and start designing. Let’s talk AI in the classroom by design, not default.
