Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a common feature of many classrooms, but how can geography teachers harness it effectively to make a real difference? This session will explore practical, impactful ways AI can support teaching and learning while also addressing the challenges it presents. For teachers, AI can save time and enhance creativity in lesson planning, resource design and assessment, including marking and feedback. For students, AI can become a valuable study partner, helping with revision, practice questions and independent learning. We will discuss strategies for teaching young people to use AI responsibly and effectively, while also assessing how we can develop awareness of the technology’s limits, biases and ethical concerns. This session will offer a clear set of practical ideas to trial back in the classroom and when planning lessons, as well as to share with students.
