00:00I don't think there will be great resistance because the teachers who have been trialing
00:06these tools are finding that it is a major time saver.
00:11We know that teachers are extremely overworked and heavily burdened.
00:16Teachers are spending on an average 15 hours a week preparing lesson plans and assessment,
00:24six hours a week within that searching for curriculum materials, giving them more tools
00:30to do those tasks quickly and concentrate on their interactions with the students would
00:36be really helpful.
00:37We're aware of some of the risks.
00:38There's risks to privacy.
00:40New South Wales and South Australia have already rolled out a tool in New South Wales.
00:46It's called EduChat and they've rolled it out to all teachers and to 50 schools for students
00:52to use, and they'll be rolling that out further.
00:56And those tools are designed not to share data with the system.
01:03They're also designed to be more pedagogically helpful.
01:06So unlike, say, ChatGPT, which is going to fully produce an answer for you, these tools
01:13are going to ask you questions, kind of encourage you further down the road of questioning and
01:19learning.
01:20We're still learning how to best use these tools because we do want to make sure that
01:26students use them to do some simple tasks, but continue to be stretched, continue to think
01:32critically.
01:33And so that's why I think sharing information across school systems about what works, what
01:38is best practice, how can we use these tools to stretch our students and not to sort of inhibit
01:44their development.
01:48Have a great.
