Who’s teaching whom: Generative AI, human agency & the purpose of schooling
Event description
Who’s teaching whom Generative AI, human agency & the purpose of schooling
When chatbots can draft essays in seconds and algorithms promise personalised lessons, in this seminar we ask a deeper question: what should learning look like when machines can imitate it?
Guided by the critical perspectives of educational technology scholars, this 60‑minute conversation invites teachers, school leaders, parents, students and policy‑makers to examine generative AI through a critical and justice‑oriented lens.
Together we will explore how these tools can either deepen or disrupt existing inequities, interrogate the hype that so often surrounds educational technology and envision community‑driven practices that keep human relationships, cultural diversity, and learner agency at the very heart of education.
Facilitator:
Dr Jacquie Tinkler, senior lecturer from Charles Sturt’s Faculty of Arts and Education, brings more than 30 years of experience as an educator and academic in educational technology and teacher education. Jacquie knows both the thrill and the frustration of learning new technologies for teaching and learning very well.
