Generative AI – How to Understand its Potential

Generative AI is rapidly shaping the future of education, and understanding its potential is becoming essential for schools. This presentation will provide a clear and accessible overview of what generative AI is and how it works, with a focus on practical, school‑based applications. We will explore how administrators and teachers can use generative AI to support planning, instruction, assessment, communication, and workflow efficiency. The session will also address important legal and ethical considerations, including data privacy, academic integrity, and responsible use. Finally, we will examine the pedagogical value of generative AI through concrete classroom and administrative examples, highlighting how it can enhance, not replace, professional judgment, creativity, and student learning.
