Harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for teaching history and geography by Historical Association on cademy.co.uk

Description

Artificial Intelligence is becoming more and more prevalent in society and many occupational sectors. But what about teaching? Is AI a threat to history and geography teaching, assessment and quality assurance? Or is it the saviour for teacher workload and a creative force that can bring our subjects to life for our pupils? Is it both of these things, or neither? In this special partnership event between the Historical Association and Royal Geographical Society (with IBG), we explore the implications of AI for history and geography in schools and how we can best harness the power of AI for us as teachers and for our pupils.

This event will be suitable for primary and secondary teachers of history and geography.

Price: £150 HA/RGS member, £195 non-member (all prices are inclusive of VAT and booking fees)
