Last week, on June 4th, the PB education team partnered up with Steve Smith, who is the education country manager for Google, to organise a virtual webinar event, where we delved into the potential of generative AI tools in the field of education.
The interactive webinar focused on how AI can revolutionise the teaching experience, enabling educators to personalise learning and streamline their workflows.
Imagine creating engaging lesson materials tailored to each student's needs, freeing up valuable time for more individualised instruction, and easily managing student data — all with the help of AI. Steve goes into a comprehensive look at how this vision can become a reality with Gemini.
