Missed the first session of The Educators AI Playbook? Watch the full recording — Mark Orchison and Dan Fitzpatrick are joined by Paddy McGrath (Everway) to unpack the month's Gemini updates, what AI means for inclusion, and where the compliance risks sit for schools.
The Educators AI Playbook is a monthly briefing for school leaders and educators, hosted by Mark Orchison, Founder & CEO of 9ine, and Dan Fitzpatrick, the internationally recognised strategist known as The AI Educator. Each session gives a concise, school-specific run-through of the month's most important AI updates, tools and legislation — and what they actually mean for your school.
This first session covers the latest Gemini updates and what they mean for classroom and administrative use, before turning to AI for inclusion with guest speaker Paddy McGrath, Head of Education Strategy (EMEA) at Everway — drawing on his work helping schools use AI and assistive technology to support every learner, not just some.
The session closes on the compliance risks schools need to be alert to as AI adoption accelerates — where governance, data protection and safeguarding responsibilities intersect, and what your school should be doing now rather than waiting for the next update.
