Are school leaders avoiding the most critical conversation about how students are actually using Artificial Intelligence?
In this episode of The International Classroom, Alex Gray sits down with Matthew Wemyss—the architect behind the AIDUCATION conference—for a deep dive into the real-world evolution of AI in schools. Matthew unpacks the massive success of the CreateCodeChange awards, where students used Canva to build prototype apps solving UN Sustainable Development Goals.
They also tackle the "awkward question" SLTs need to address: the rising trend of teenagers turning to AI chatbots for mental health and relationship advice. Plus, Matthew shares his philosophy on preventing cognitive atrophy, why he shudders at the term "thought leader," and why schools should start flow-coding their own bespoke apps to solve niche administrative problems.#AIinEducation #EdTech #SchoolLeadership #TheInternationalClassroom #MatthewWeymss #AIDUCATION26 #FutureOfLearning #EducationPodcast
