Future of Learning Southeast Asia Conference 2024

As AI becomes increasingly integrated into education, the challenge is not just to use these tools, but to collaborate with them effectively. This workshop introduces a design thinking approach to prompting and partnering with AI, helping educators enhance their teaching practices and student engagement. Using the SPARK framework, educators will learn how to guide AI to support creative problem-solving, and deeper learning in the classroom. Discover how to use AI as a true partner in education, ensuring it complements and amplifies your unique teaching strengths rather than replacing them.

A fun way to introduce students to AI image generators is to have them visualise their favourite song’s lyrics. By closely examining the song's themes and messages, students can learn to prompt and refine AI tools to create artwork that reflects their interpretation of the music. This process not only helps students understand how media can convey meaning but also empowers them to express their own ideas creatively through their own art. This workshop will guide teachers on how to incorporate AI image generators into their classrooms to enhance student creativity and understanding of media. Participants will learn how to analyse song lyrics, prompt AI tools effectively, and refine generated images to create thematic representations of their chosen songs. Application of this concept can extend to writing, reading, social studies, units of inquiry, and more.

As educators we are fully aware of the many positive attributes of one to one tutoring; clarification of complex systems, self pacing and review as well as motivating students to take ownership of their learning. In this session participants will be shown various chatbot platforms that provide varying levels of student ownership as provided the gift of time to explore.

History is often the last classroom that is transformed by technology. Rather than the boring old lecture, what if we used generative AI to create art? Suddenly every student in the class can produce a high quality political cartoon or a propaganda poster. Could we spend less time developing the content in lectures and more time making it interactive? Of course, if we outsource the slide creation to genAI. This workshop will highlight some of the ideas I've found useful and help teachers stay away from some of the mistakes I've made.

Join us for an engaging workshop on harnessing artificial intelligence to elevate teaching and learning experiences! This session will explore innovative AI tools and strategies that empower educators to enhance student engagement, personalize instruction, and streamline administrative tasks. Participants will learn how to effectively integrate AI into their classrooms, from using AI-driven resources for lesson planning to leveraging data analytics for student feedback. We’ll also discuss ethical considerations and best practices for utilizing AI responsibly in education. Whether you’re a tech-savvy educator or just starting to explore AI, this workshop will provide practical insights and hands-on activities to inspire excellence in your teaching practice. Let’s unlock the potential of AI together!

Introduce and explore Brisk Teaching & newly released Brisk Boost for Students. An AI Chrome Extension that takes differentiation, creation, and engagement to a whole other level. Please join for a hands-on experience to see what Brisk Teaching & Brisk Boost can bring to the table and your school. ***BRISK TEACHING & BRISK BOOST IS CHROME-BASED ONLY AT THIS TIME***

AI does not have to be feared; in fact, it can be very useful in streamlining the paperwork of education. MagicSchool AI has been developed by educators, for educators and it can transform your work experience. Join his session to explore the possibilities of using AI in your planning and teaching. This session is aimed to support those who are new to using AI.

From the classroom to the corporate world, traditional assessments like papers and resumes often fail to capture all that students are capable of. This workshop is designed for educators who want to help their students showcase not just their final results but also their journey to those achievements. We’ll explore practical ways to build portfolios that reveal both the work and the creative processes behind it. You'll learn how these portfolios can highlight students' personal skills, strengths, and stories—elements that Google and ChatGPT can’t capture. Discover how to guide your students in presenting a comprehensive picture of their capabilities and creativity, truly standing out in both academic and professional arenas.

This workshop exposes participants to generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) tools that can be used to create digital assets that can be used for augmented reality (AR). Tools such as AI-based 3D model creation and AI-based skybox (sphere images for AR and VR) will be shared, as to provide ideas and inspiration in integration of AR for teaching and learning. Participants will also experience how to integrate these AI-based assets in Reality Composer for development of immersive AR environments.

In the age of AI when new technologies are coming out all of the time, how can you know what to teach your kids? In this session we look at what other waves of innovation have brought, understand the current technology and what skills are likely to be relevant in the future! We will go through the key skills to focus on to ensure your children will be relevant in a future that might be one of constant change, but it is still built on firm digital foundations that too few people really understand.
