Discover how AI can support your work in the chemistry classroom. Join Colin McGill, associate professor of teacher education at Edinburgh Napier University, as he explores practical, ethical and innovative ways AI tools can enhance teaching and learning in the chemistry classroom. Participants will have the opportunity to examine real classroom use cases and discuss strategies for integrating AI meaningfully into curriculum and assessment.
Outcomes
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
- Evaluate how AI can support conceptual understanding and problem‑solving.
- Recognise potential risks, limitations, and ethical considerations when using AI with students.
- Develop strategies for fostering AI literacy and responsible use in the chemistry classroom.
This session will contain a presentation, reflection time, Q&A and chances for discussion.
