Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a key part of modern education, offering exciting opportunities to enhance teaching and learning. Since ChatGPT’s emergence in late 2022, teachers and school leaders across Australia have increasingly embraced AI tools to improve classroom experiences, reduce administrative burdens, and better meet diverse student needs.
According to a 2023 report, over 70% of primary and 80% of secondary teachers already use AI tools (often unknowingly) to save time, personalise learning, and boost engagement. When used responsibly, with appropriate safeguards, AI can significantly support educators and enrich the learning journey for students.
The Federal Government’s Framework for Generative AI in Schools recognises AI’s potential to support teachers and reduce workloads. Technologies such as digital content libraries, interactive whiteboards, real-time learning tools, and grading software are just a few examples of how AI is already being integrated into classrooms.
BenQ, a global leader in educational technology, is helping schools harness AI effectively through tools like the BenQ Board, EZWrite 6, and InstaShare 2. These solutions offer features such as live identification of plants and insects, real-time collaboration, multi-language translation, and AI-powered text-to-speech capabilities.
AI also supports professional development by assisting teachers in drafting lessons, analysing student performance, and providing tailored learning pathways. With education technologies constantly evolving, companies like BenQ are providing user-friendly guides to help schools adopt best practices and make the most of AI-powered tools.
As AI continues to shape the future of learning, its thoughtful integration can help create more engaging, inclusive, and efficient classrooms—empowering both students and educators alike.
