In this episode we speak to Mark Anderson (Head of Education at NetSupport, bridging the gap between education and EdTech) about AI in education.

Within the episode we discuss:

• What AI is and what it isn’t
• The range of free and paid for AI platforms that are out there
• How teachers can use AI to help with their planning, creativity and imagination
• How AI can be used to bring about efficiencies for classroom teachers, but still keep the personal touch that a great classroom teacher brings
• How school leaders can harness the power of AI

During the discussion Mark mentioned many products and platforms. Below are links to all the resources that he mentioned:
