Welcome!

Welcome to GK Edtech - a space for me to document how and why I'm using technology and in particular, AI in the classroom.

I'm Gem, an educator with over a decade of experience who loves technology and humans. I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of EdTech, but also the critical importance of maintaining our humanity in a digital world.

This blog aims to explore the ethical considerations of technology integration, seeking to maximize its potential for enhancing learning while preserving the vital human connections that are at the heart of education.

We'll delve into practical strategies for using technology to save time for teachers, deepen student understanding, foster collaboration, and cultivate empathy, all while identifying efficiencies and, crucially, recognizing where human interaction trumps technological solutions.

Join me as we explore how to create learning environments that are both future-focused and deeply human.
