How teachers and teaching is impacted by AI with Dr Jo Blannin
About this episode
Dr Jo Blannin, along with a team from Monash University and the University of Melbourne, are leading an ARC Discovery Project exploring the impact of AI on teachers and teaching practices. In this podcast, she discusses the evolving role of AI in education, emphasising its integration into learning management systems and everyday teaching tools. While AI is often framed around student learning, her research shifts the focus to how teachers experience and adapt to these technologies. The study reveals a gap between policy-level AI initiatives and teachers' on-the-ground realities, with concerns about workload, professional learning, and systemic support. Dr Blannin highlights the need for balanced optimism and caution, advocating for practical strategies that empower educators to navigate AI’s rapid evolution—a must-listen for researchers interested in AI’s transformative role in education.
